Weekly Announcement 12/6/2010
IMPORTANT GREENLIGHT CAMPAIGN UPDATES!
This is it - the final big push!
MGM Bankruptcy plan was approved on 12/02 by a NY court. It is estimated it will take 2 weeks to complete the reorganization. It appears that MGM, under Spyglass management, is positioning itself to move ahead on several projects (including James Bond) - they have secured financing for daily operations as well as film & TV productions.
Articles & links on our Movie/MGM News Forum Page
We believe MGM/Spyglass and Syfy may be at a decision crossroads of whether or not the movies will be greenlighted. So while we understand that this is a busy time for everyone; we need to ACT NOW.
The Campaign Has Sent a Living Green Plant to the SPYGLASS execs with the campaign message. We need this to be followed with a lot of messages of support from SGA and SG1 fans.
PLEASE make every effort to participate in the current Greenlight the Movies Campaign events we have listed below by December 12th.
GREENLIGHT the MOVIE CAMPAIGNS:
Send Congrats to Spyglass
WHY? To let Spyglass know that there is a strong fan base that supports the SG1 and SGA movies.
1) Buy or print a generic "Congratulations" card OR you can find five different custom versions (including a black and white version) on our website to print off under the Campaigns page.
2) If you buy or print a blank generic card, please say on it: "Congratulations on your new positions with MGM, from fans who support the Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis movies!"
PLEASE say the above exactly - do not vary from this message. This is a important marketing strategy that we are using and the message must be the same, it must be consistent for maximum impact.
