THE ZOCALO TODAY - January 9, 2005

A Call to Arms

For some time now, we have been hearing different things about JMS'
new project, THE MEMORY OF SHADOWS. We have gotten little
information from JMS directly, but trade papers have run information
about the project – giving character outlines and indicating that
original cast members may not be involved. I have posted that
information out at The Zocalo Today and have waited for more
information on the issue, but it has not been forthcoming.

An ad hoc committee of fans got together to see what might be done --
and we began working on ways to get the studios attention,
including press releases and getting stories into the mainstream
press. You can help by participating in a letter writing campaign
with a bit of a gimmick to help it stand out from similar
campaigns. Go to http://www.keepb5alive.com. Download one of "B5
Bucks" designs on the site. Print them out, cut them out, and
include them with your letter. There are also form letters that you
can use, but studios pay a lot more attention to individuals who
take the time to compose a letter of their own. Use the samples,
but add something of your own -- don't just sign a form letter that
somebody else wrote. Just don't forget to include the " B5 Bucks"
whichever you do.

While the "B5 Bucks" is a bit of a gimmick – don't you remember the
Tabasco sauce sent on behalf of the ROSWELL fans? That effort was
memorable and get attention – and that is what we need now. If
Warner Bros. gets THOUSANDS of letters containing these "B5 Bucks"
they may take notice.

Go to the site, download the materials, join the fight. The casting
decisions are being made RIGHT NOW. The countdown to the start of
shooting has begun. The window during which we can make our voices
heard is closing, but it HASN'T CLOSED YET.

Get your letter into the mail TOMORROW.

The address is:

Warner Brothers Feature Film Development Dept.
4000 Warner Boulevard
Burbank , CA 91522

Thanks in advance for your help.
Take care.
