Wing Commander Privateer 2: The Darkening Official Trailer (1996, Origin)

A big-budget game was dubbed Privateer 2 and launched in late 1996 by Erin Roberts.
Actors: Clive Owen, John Hurt, Christopher Walken

Gameplay
The game features live-action video scenes, directed by Steve Hilliker. The cast included Clive Owen, Mathilda May, John Hurt, Christopher Walken, Brian Blessed and Amanda Pays. The game also featured David Warner, and Jürgen Prochnow, who later played Admiral Geoffrey Tolwyn and Commander Paul Gerald respectively in the Wing Commander feature film. The filming was done at Pinewood studios in England, famous as the location for all the James Bond films.

Plot
One hundred years after the original story of Privateer, a cargo ship Canera is attacked during landing and crashes into Mendra City on planet Crius. One survivor, As Lev Arris, a man with no memory of who he is and no record of his existence prior to two weeks before the crash, must take the life of a privateer in the Tri-System, re-discovering his past along the way.

Connection
Although The Darkening features no obvious connection with the "mainstream" Wing Commander series, there are several links that bind it to the larger universe. The game features references to a "Confederation", and one of the easter egg derelicts is a Talon light fighter. Perhaps anticipating a future title connecting The Darkening with Wing Commander, the game's developers set the plot sufficiently far in the "future", in the year 2790.

Sadly, do demo for this game =(
