Saffy--

Thanks so much for the compliment. I worked hard to sound sane yet passionate; guess it worked.

BTW, love the nick. If only I was a girl...then I'd call myself "Yosaffbridge." (one of my favorite lines from Mal)

P.S. Again, so sorry about the doubles; Haken has been contacted.

Sending a letter to the chairwoman and President of Production, postcards in general AND an electronic supportive message to their email comment line. Check, check, check AND check.

Here's a thought ... to reinforce our letter campaign, go to Amazon.com and write a review for the DVDs. There are already 483 reviews attesting to the brilliance of the show. You'd think the "Powers that Be" would notice that. But, just in case they haven't, they probably would notice a thousand positive reviews, or more.

This is a little heads up for everyone regarding the latest letter campaign:
From
http://www.livejournal.com/community/fireflyfans

"You know the stuff about writing Universal and pressuring them to make the movie?

DON'T!!!

Spread the word:

The delay is NOT Universal's problem; We're waiting on word from the distributor, not the production company, which is so on board with the whole thing.

So, any deluge of postcards/mail/what have you could possibly screw with what's going on.

In other words?

Sit tight. News will be coming soon.

(Just in case you were curious? This info is nigh on from the source as fannishly possible. Exceedingly reliable.)"

Isn't Universal Pictures a distribution company as well? Why would a big studio agree to produce a movie without a distributor, given that they could be the distributor? Also I cannot think of any movie that a big production company has produced without also being the distributor. They might be a distributor for a movie that somebody else produced, but vice-versa?

Even if the above rumour is true, I do not see how 'pressuring' (re: politely asking) Universal and showing them our support could be a bad thing in ANY way.

Remember we are doing this to show Universal AND ME our support for the franchise and our faith in them.

Even if Universal is on board no matter what, which we do not know, letters can only help.
I really can't picture any executives saying "Hrm...it seems there ARE lots of people wanting to see this thing. Maybe we should reconsider."

Nevertheless thanks for the update and trying to help out!

Very good point, Synergy. (And quite diplomatically put, too.)

My letter has been written and will be posted today. I even wrote it on one of my Julie Taymor notecards.
