Worth a Read: The Story of How Galaxy Quest Got Made
It’s the 15th anniversary of the release of Galaxy Quest, a movie it’s almost impossible not to like, and one of my favorite films, sci-fi, comedy or otherwise. I watched it when I was a teen, and many, many times since, and it’s amazing how great the concept is, how much talent there is in the cast, and how well it holds up over time.
MTV has a rather lengthy interview with those behind the film, and it’s a fascinating read as to how the movie actually got made in the first place. It was originally called “Captain Starshine,” but it evolved from there into the cult classic it is today. I highly recommend giving it a full read, and naturally, watching the movie again in honor of its anniversary.
Never give up, never surrender.
