The idea is that every Browncoat should send an e-mail or a letter (I heard that studios take letters more seriously than e-mails) to them thanking them for making the movie and showing intrest in seeing another. I plan to e-mail them and send a letter. http://www.universalstudios.com/homepage/html/contact_us/ Universal Pictures 100 Universal City Plaza Universal City, CA 91608 (818) 777-1000

Unless it's shooting the captain. Er, that is, unless it's illegal, unsafe, or counterproductive, like stalking the Universal executives. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm pointin' right at it!

I know Sept 30 is the day Serenity came out so it seams appropriate. If we are doing a writing campaign should we not spread the word a bit more? I am more than willing to write a letter. Just wondering what the details are etc... Anyone know anything else about this?

Quote:Originally posted by Marine: You are right bad2verse. Lets get on the same page. If we get some "exsample letters" out there so everyone can follow the same format with their own words in it, the message will be must more effective. Like bad2verse said, the first thing any busy person wants to read is the point. Let them know right away what it is that you are looking for. Second line...etc an exsample letter will be helpful for a lot of people, which will get us more people to support this effort. Post the address on your wall so you don't forget about it, having more then one email/mail won't hurt either. Sending late letters will get the point across if you add that into your letter as well. I am in Japan, deployed. My letter won't get their in time but they will get the point and that is what we are looking for. I agree once again bad2verse ( I feel as if I am sucking up to you, but I'm not) lets try to hit the TV networks as well. Because their was so many "new browncoats" after the movie was created (a lot of people didn't know it was a TV show), how can we advertise this a little more?

Quote:Originally posted by Mandragon: Has anyone thought about addressing these letters directly to Mary Parent? She is the Executive Producer that got Serenity off the ground. She is also in charge of Joss's "Goners" movie. In addition she was in the "Done the Impossible" documentary talking about various Serenity issues. It should be considered as an alternative to addressing the letters to just "Universal Pictures" etc. Whatever is decided it should be uniform imho. Your thoughts?

Actually we just hit up the Sci-Fi channel a while ago, when they did their marathon. But like it's been said before, anything and everything that anybody is willing to do is helpful.
