The Last Starfighter 2?

Stop your grinin and drop your linen, we've got some huge sci-fi geek and gaming related news (yes this will be a crossover post between LesbianGeek and LesbianGamers .com). Any geek worth their salt has seen or knows of The Last Starfighter, a film released in 1984 that follows the story of a young guy named Alex recruited to fight a galactic war via a videogame. If you are a geek and missed this one, go get it, rent it, buy it, whatever, it's a great film.

For newcomers to the story, you might be getting a brand new version. Rumor has it original director Nick Castle and writer Jonathan Betuel are both involved, as well as Lance Guest who played the protagonist Alex Rogan. Now, should we start bombarding them with mail suggesting the hero this time be female (perhaps Alex's daughter?)? Hell, how about a lesbian? Wouldn't that be cool. Sure we know chance would be a fine thing, but it doesn't hurt to dream.

Now who else had a crush on Catherine Mary Stewart in that movie? No.. just me then.
