There was a thread a few weeks back which entertained the idea of SMAC going "Hollywood". Anyway, should SMAC become as popular as say "Wing Commander", I have a request. Please, Sid or Brain, DO NOT let Chris Roberts direct the film or for that matter please don't attempt it yourselves. Please get a quality director/producer. I would hate for SMAC the movie to be as embarresingly POOR as Wing Commander: The Movie. Hey, try some movie titles like; "Saving Lt. Santiago", "Mind Worms in Love", or "Transcendence is Beautiful".

First of all I need to correct my movie title. It should be "Saving Col. Santiago".

Anyway, here's my list (let's get these people signed and start production).

Zakharov - Anthony Hopkins
Lal - Tom Hanks
Morgan - James Earl Jones
Yang - Noriyuki "Pat" Morita
Santiago - Jennifer Jones
Diedre Skye - Sigourney Weaver
Miriam - Linda Hamilton
Mind Worms - Roberto Benigni(sp?)

Director - Spielberg (of course)

I would love to see Wynona Ryder as Lady Deirdre. Why? I sure as hell wouldn't mind the scene where she goes 'running naked through the woods'.

And if they seriously made a movie based on the SMAC world, 'The wars of Sparta' would be a good name too.

Maybe 'The Unity' or even just 'Alpha Centauri'?
