From Redsox:
Hello Rangers,
Just a quick update. I know most people are tired, have real world issues going on, have seen some discouraging signs the past couple of weeks.
Remember they have changed time for Jericho this week and next and moved it to 6:30pm Est followed by James Bond movies. I think this is positive for several reasons. First they could have pulled Jericho or added another Drew Carey episode but they did not. Second the EPIX cable channel is supposed to be action adventure and James Bond films will undoubtedly be part of the mix. Running Jericho with them may be a way to test the waters and gage how Jericho will do with action adventure fans who will tune in for James Bond movies. [Gwen adds that the scheduling of Jericho followed by MGM movies was one of the signs pointing to epix. MGM is one of the epix partners.]
Also I want to remind everyone we have had some positive news the past 6 weeks. First on January 14th we had the Jon Turtletaub interview where he said Jericho movie is being worked on. This was first positive statement from anyone related to the show, producers, writers, actors since July 2008 that they were still actively looking at continuing Jericho in some form. Second Artz Lady received a response form someone at epix that they were exploring bringing Jericho to epix.
The Welcome Home to Jericho event in LA is scheduled for April 24-26. This event is going to raise money for families and children of deployed soldiers. We also may see some special guests at the event. The event will generate good publicity for the guests, Jericho Rangers 4 Our Troops and their mission but also help keep Jericho on the minds of the studio people, which is important to keep the movie in play.
Right now we are targeting CBS Paramount and epix with an email, post card and/or letter asking them to put Jericho on epix and then run it on The CW following the run on epix as NBC did when it partnered with Direct TV for Friday Night Lights. Other thing we need is all FaceBook and My Space people to reach out and get people on to epix & Jericho FaceBook pages.
Keep those letters and Feedback forms coming in. They are being counted. Sci Fi Rally Monday Night rallies at 9:00pm Est and Sci Fi Marathon 8 episodes each February 23rd and March 9th.
