The Bearded Trio

I thought I would share this making of video from 1994.  Its the making of Wing Commander III: Heart Of The Tige r.  The cast was huge and had Mark Hamill, John Rhys-Davies, Tom Wilson and Malcolm Mcdowell to name but a few. Its a fun making of documentary and shows Mark Hamill and John Rhys-Davies talking about the new filming technique at the time called green screen technology, which of course we are all familiar with these days. Personally I loved this game and was amazed when I first saw the graphics and the movie segments.  The game was a pig to load though and spent many hours trying to get a boot disk with enough expanded and extended memory to get it to even load up on my 486DX2-50mhz PC.  Ahhh.  Great times.

Kenny Baker, who played robot R2-D2 in the Star Wars film franchise, has died aged 81 after a longstanding illness. His niece, Abigail Shield, told the Guardian: "It was expected, but it's sad nonetheless. He had a very long and fulfilled life. "He brought lots of happiness to people and we'll be celebrating the fact that he was well loved throughout the world. We're all very proud of what he achieved in his lifetime." Baker who appeared in the original 1977 Star Wars and others was a popular guest on the convention circuit.  He will be greatly missed.  Comic cons just will feel a little emptier.

During an interview where Steven Spielberg talks about the movie Hook, Robin Williams interrupts the interview to do what he does best, make people smile. At one point Spielberg explained they were laughing so much on the set of Hook, "the laughing hurt" said Spielberg.  He also explains how Robin Williams was at his most awkward when he had to play Pan as a straight guy with no imagination and humour which is depicted in the movie before Pan realises he is the Pan.
