The Last Starfighter
A few days back we were told that a sequel for The Last Starfighter was not only coming, but only a few weeks away from production. Thanks to a heads up from 'Shannon', it looks like that last report was all rumor.
Sequel (Not) in the Works for The Last Starfighter
The good people at FilmBuffOnline have posted a correction to CinemaBlend's story.
...."Yesterday, however, during a call made to George Paige and Associates, an unnamed spokesperson for the company stated that although the project was indeed listed on the company’s website as being in development there was no truth to the Cinema Blend story that the film was ready to begin principal photography. He then deferred all further questions to a contact at Relativity Media, who so far has not returned our phone calls.
So as things stand now, in contradiction to Cinema Blend’s anonymous source, a sequel to The Last Starfighter is not less than four weeks away from becoming a reality. However, that doesn’t preclude the fact that such a project may still be in development and that one day we will get to see the further adventures of a kid so good at a video game that he gets “recruited by the Star League to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada.”
