Keeping The Invisible Man visible:
Invisible Man Marketing & Promotion hosts a featured fan table at Galaxy Con.

The Invisible Man, one of Sci Fi Channel's Saturn Award-nominated original
series which ran from 2000-2002 and was a top ratings-getter before its
surprise cancellation in the midst of negotiations for not one, but two more
seasons, had a visible presence at Galaxy Con this November.

The Invisible Man's fan table at the second annual Galaxy Con, a fledgling
science fiction genre convention held the weekend of November 13-14, 2004 in
Beltsville, MD, was once again a thorough success with sci fi con-goers and
fans. Positioned prominently near the registration area, the table, sponsored
by Invisible Man Marketing & Promotion, and manned by members of the Imaniacs,
the unofficial fan club of The Invisible Man, featured information on all the
latest strategies in the campaign to garner attention for the series. Current
publicity efforts include petitions requesting the release of region 1 DVDs and
a reunion feature film. Genre fans and fans of The Invisible Man stopped by to
chat with fellow enthusiasts and sign the petitions, as well as enter the
drawings for I-Man themed raffle prizes.

Among the visitors to the table were Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galactica) and
Gigi Edgely (Farscape) who were happy to add their names to those requesting
both the DVDs and a feature film. Several notable authors also signed the
petitions and joined other fans in expressing their hope that the voices of
fans around the world will be heard. In all, over 100 signatures were collected
on each of the two petitions, copies of which will be sent to Matt Greenberg,
creator of The Invisible Man, as well as Craig Silverstein, writer-producer for
The Invisible Man, and currently producer of USA network's The Dead Zone.

In addition, copies are slated to go out to several other industry notables who
have expressed interest in seeing the cast of the show reunited for a feature
film. The Powers That Be at NBC Universal will also receive copies, to make
them aware of the continuing fan interest in the show, and hopefully to
encourage the resyndication of the series on one of the many cable channels in
the NBC family.


About The Invisible Man

The Invisible Man -- one of the SciFi Channel's top 3 original series and
consistently one of the top 10 genre shows in syndication -- premiered to
critical acclaim in June 2000. It was abruptly cancelled after negotiations
fell through for not one, but two more seasons in late September 2001.

During its run, the chemistry between the two lead actors, Vincent Ventresca
and Paul Ben-Victor, garnered numerous accolades and the show drew critical
acclaim, including several Saturn Award nominations for both its seasons and a
best ensemble award from TV Zone magazine. Additionally, numerous episodes
were included on The Futon Critic's list of the Top 50 Episodes of 2001 and
2002, and the show swept numerous categories in the fan-based voting for the
2002 Roswell Awards.

Created by talented Matt Greenberg (Reign of Fire), the show also created quite
a buzz in the creative community, attracting such luminaries as: Armin
Shimerman (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Craig
Silverstein (creative consultant, producer, The Dead Zone), George Huang
(director of Swimming with Sharks), Greg Yaitanes (director of episodes of Las
Vegas, Cold Case), Justine Miceli (NYPD Blue), Joel Bissonette (Boulevard,
Fight Club), David Burke (Joan of Arcadia), Michael Welch (Joan of Arcadia,
Star Trek: Insurrection) and Adam Storke (Mystic Pizza, Prey).
