TV Duds Rate as Studs in DVD Market - Reuters/Billboard (several positive Firefly mentions)

The Letter writing campaign has been put on hold for now. We have received word from a couple of sources that Universal is, at this point, on board with movie, and that the current stumbling block is elsewhere. So as a result, we have been asked to put our letter writing campaign directed toward Universal on hold for now. Thanks to all those that participated, I'm convinced it has helped. In the mean time, feel free to follow through with our other guerilla marketing ideas, and continue converting friends, family and complete strangers to the Firefly fold.

In those days, you didn't have people making up rumors about films on the net or posting spoilers everywhere to ruin the suprises for folks.. I will never understand the impatient attitudes of people. "I have to have news NOW!" ...like you're so special that ME really needs to keep you in the loop about something.. not bloody likly (otherwise you'd know already).

A few days ago, Jeremy got a knock on his door. He opened the door and saw two men in dark suits and sunglasses standing on his doorstep.

"Are you Jeremy?" One of the men asked. The other man continued smoothly, "We're from Universal Studios. May we come in?"

A few minutes later, Jeremy served them tea, trying not to act nervous. One of the men began to speak:

"Jeremy, you probably know we're here because of your Firefly fan site. We work for Universal's "Fan Management" division. We like you, son, and we want to bring you to the inner circle."

Before Jeremy could speak, the other man continued, "That's right, you're with us, now. You see, we need you to tell Firefly fans to quit writing postcards. The movie is a go, but the news can't be public, not yet. And you're not going to tell anyone, either."

Jeremy gulped. "I'm...not going to tell anyone?" he said in a strained voice.

"You see Jeremy, here's how it works," said the first man. "You help us, then we can help you. If you keep quiet about the Firefly Movie, then we'll give you lots of insider fan news for your website in the future. Just think, you'll have the best Firefly movie site in the world! But... if you betray our trust and tell everyone about the movie, well then..."

"We'll make sure you never run a fan site. Ever. Again." The second man finished.

"I - I'll tell everyone to stop writing postcards."

"That's a good boy, Jeremy."

Jeremy was in total shock as he shook hands with the men and shut the door. The men drove off in a black limousine.

Speaking of Honor Harrington (and the $300. in Christmas bucks I spent buying my older sister all the books in hardback when I don't even have them in paperback) when oh when will we get another epic adventure and when oh when will THAT movie get made.
Also, some cool*ss merchandising stuff would be good too.
