SPANISH UPDATE: Resumen de novedades

¡Hola, amigos de habla hispana! Como ya sabrán, esta es una campaña realmente internacional y cuenta con la participación de miembros del Grupo Millennium de todo el mundo. ;-) Pero sobre todo requiere la participación de todo el mundo (es decir, ¡de ustedes!), hablen el idioma que hablen, así que para que participar les resulte a todos más fácil intentaremos cada tanto ofrecerles las últimas novedades… ¡en español!

Aquí va entonces un resumen de las novedades más importantes en lo que va de la campaña:

• En primer lugar, si desean agregar un enlace a nuestro blog en su propio blog o sitio, pueden contactarse con nosotros enviándonos un email a info@backtofrankblack.com o backtofrankblack@gmail.com, así les devolvemos el favor con un enlace a su sitio en nuestro blog.

• De a poco, BacktoFrankBlack se va haciendo su lugar en las redes sociales, con más de 230 amigos en MySpace, otros 160 en Facebook y otros tantos en Bebo. La petición para que vuelva Frank ya suma 270 firmas, que se suman a las más de 3200 de la petición original para que se haga la película de Millennium. También aumenta el número de afiliados a nuestra página. Si quieres afiliarte a nosotros, no dudes en contactarnos para que te agreguemos.

• Lance Henriksen, Kristen Cloke (‘Lara Means’) y Stephen E. Miller (‘Andy McLaren’) nos han enviado personalmente mensajes de apoyo a la causa y están entusiasmados por ver un regreso de Frank a la pantalla grande. Kristen nos escribió:

"Quiero que sepan que disfruté muchísimo el haber trabajado en "Millennium". Amo a los actores y el equipo técnico de la serie y mantenemos una amistad con muchos de ellos. Todos eran increíblemente talentosos y amables. Creo que el talento y la colaboración de todas las personas que trabajaron en "Millennium", combinados con la dirección innovadora que brindaron Glen [Morgan] y Jim [Wong] esa temporada [la segunda], generaron muchas cosas de las que estamos inmensamente orgullosos. Siempre tendré esa experiencia y a Lara Means en un lugar especial de mi corazón."

• Frank Spotnitz ha publicado nuestros mensajes en su página oficial en varias ocasiones: BigLight September 30, BigLight October 16, BigLight October 27.

• Además, Spotnitz dijo lo siguiente en una entrevista con MTV:

“Siento un gran cariño por cada uno de los programas que hicimos con Chris en 1013. En especial, creo que 'Harsh Realm' y 'The Lone Gunmen' terminaron antes de tiempo. Y tengo que decir que en todos los lados que voy la gente me pregunta si va a haber una película o una continuación de 'Millennium', así que sospecho que hay un público muy leal ahí afuera que todavía quiere que la hagamos.”

• La puerta sigue abierta para una tercera película de Expedientes X, según informó el presidente de FOX Tom Rothman a IESB.net, lo que significa que FOX sigue teniendo en cuenta los proyectos de 1013 y Chris Carter (más allá del supuesto ‘fracaso’ de “Quiero creer” en las salas de EE.UU.).

• El importante blog Zombo’s Closet of Horror promocionó la campaña: “Soy un gran admirador de Lance Henriksen y creo que éste es su mejor papel.”

• En la esencial IMDb.com, BacktoFrankBlack aparece como noticia en los perfiles de Chris Carter, Lance, Spotnitz, Millennium y Kristen Cloke. El enlace es a la nota que publicó Fangoria.

• Zone Horror, señal de tv británica que transmite “Millennium”, publicó un artículo sobre la campaña, en el que se resaltó la importancia del envío de cartas como medio principal para lograr nuestro objetivo.

• Un podcast retrospectivo sobre Expedientes X, "Re-opening the X-Files", ha comenzado a incluir nuestro mensaje sobre la campaña en cada episodio. ¡Puedes ir aquí para escucharlo!

• Nuestro comunicado de prensa también ha sido publicado por TvParty.com, Pair A Normal Guys Inc., The X-Files Ultimate y Multipleverses.com.

• El reconocido crítico de cine y televisión John Kenneth Muir ha brindado reiteradas veces su apoyo a la campaña, insistiendo que “Millennium” es en su opinión una de las cinco mejores series de televisión de todos los tiempos y que merece un final apropiado: Éste es el momento, Una de las mejores series de todos los tiempos.

¡Sigan atentos a este blog porque lo mejor está por venir! No queremos adelantar nada, pero sepan que habrá importantes novedades en las próximas semanas. Mientras tanto, ¡a escribir esas cartas y hacer correr la voz!

Thanks to Diego for the Spanish update!

A Message from Lara Means

During the course of this campaign, members of the team have been delighted and grateful to receive correspondence from members of Millennium's cast and crew. What is evident in all their kind letters and emails is the high esteem with which they regard the franchise and the warm and generous support they extend to its fans. In addition, many have championed the efforts of this campaign and have expressed a desire to see it succeed. I have been proud to receive word from Kristen Cloke on a few occasions and I asked her if she would grant her permission for me to share a few words with you all, as always, Kristen responded warmly to the suggestion. In closing, it is nothing short of heartening to see fans, the cast and the crew united in their high appraisal of Millennium and Frank Black. We are currently working to bring more of their words to your attention, till then, enjoy the words of Millennium's Lara Means.

Please know that I so enjoyed working on" Millennium." I truly loved the cast and crew and many of them are still good friends of ours. Everyone was tremendously talented and kind. I believe the collaborative talents of every person who worked on "Millennium" in combination with the innovative direction that Glen and Jim took the show that season provided so much to be immensely proud of. I will always hold that experience and Lara Means in a special place in my heart.

Back To Frank Black - The Fans Speak!

It is always a pleasure when we receive word from fans of Millennium and from those who support our campaign. Occasionally we will share with you some of the correspondence we receive, rest assured though we won't blog any of the mail we get without seeking the author's permission first. That said, if you wish to send us your thoughts on Millennium or points of interest regarding the campaign, please do. We read everything we receive and will respond to everyone as time permits. Here are the words of a fellow fan of the franchise....

I just wanted to write and say that I'm behind the idea of bringing back one of my favorite TV shows ever created. I have watched and enjoy many different shows in my 51 years, but this was definitely one of the best, for many reasons. It was well written, acted and the production values were top notch. But, that's a given with all of Chris Carter's shows. I collect all the TV Shows and movies that I've watched and enjoyed of the years, especially all the Sci-Fi & Horror from so many years ago. And, the Chris Carter shows are no exception, I have them all, or should I say I will have them all as of December 2, when the new "X-Files: I Want To Believe" will be released. Now, I would love to be able to experience all new episodes of "Millennium", and Frank Black. That would be a rush, to say the least. I have to hand it to Chris Carter and his casting personnel, casting Lance Henriksen as Frank Black was perfect, he portrays his character to the tee. Personally, I like Terry O'Quinn as Peter Watts also, and if they decided to revive the show, they really weren't that clear on what happened to the Peter Watts character. I know they show "Someone" laying on the floor in Peter Watts study, but you couldn't actually see just who was laying there, all you saw was his legs, so, Peter Watts could still be alive, and could be included in any revival of Millennium. And, what do you know, Terry O'Quinn will be available to join Lance Henriksen, with the ending of the show, Lost at the end of the series which is planned for this coming year. Wouldn't it be great! So, I'm signing the petition to bring back Frank Black and Peter Watts. I'm sure there's a lot more fans that will do the same, cause after all, being fans of Millennium, well, This is who We Are!
