Wow. I've never been part of a cult before! Strange...I would have thought it would feel more clanish or secretive or something. Maybe involve a special, secretive handshake...
In any case, with over 9,650 signatures from 68 countries on the New Home 4 Dresden Petition, and with the Dresden Files forum still being one of the most active on Sci-Fi's website, I can certainly see why NBC would say that the Dresden Files is a "cult favorite"!
This little statement is just one of several tidbits that have been discovered in the last few weeks that not only bring hope, but also add to the viability and attractiveness of the Dresden Files series renewal!
- Lionsgate makes a deal with the WGA - Lionsgate can now hire writers! Should Sci-Fi renew the Dresden Files now, Lionsgate could hire writers and have the series back on the air while most other Channels & Networks are still airing repeats!!
- Lionsgate puts TWO scenes from the Dresden Files in the movie The Eye!!
- The Sci-Fi Channel gets a new President - Bonnie Hammer steps out and Mr. Howe becomes the new president of Sci-Fi Channel. Mr. Howe will hopefully listen to his customers and realize the value of the Dresden Files on Sci-Fi!
Write him and tell him congratulations - and ask for Season 2: Mr. Dave Howe, President, NBC Universal/Sci-Fi Channel, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10112 - Two-hour version of Storm Front scheduled on Sci-Fi - After airing in Canada and New Zealand as well as other countries, and after many e-mails and letters, Sci-Fi is going to air the updated 2 hr Dresden Files Pilot!! It's on March 7th at 3 a.m., but it IS airing!
We'll be holding a View-In on the Sci-Fi Dresden Forum during the airing to let them know we're watching - not all of us have Nielsen boxes, you know. To be impressive, we need EVERYONE to log on! See you there! - People's Choice Buzz Poll for Dresden's Renewal - It's now in the Archives under 'expired Feb. 1'. The Poll ranked in the top 3 pages of the 'Most Voted' polls and ended with 73% of voters wanting the Dresden Files renewed!!
- NBC's delaring the Dresden Files a "cult favorite Sci-Fi series" - On their own website!
The Powers That Be obviously know that the Dresden Files is popular and supported. Now we just have to convince them to do something about it!
To do that, we need ALL the Dresden Files supporters and ALL the folks who are tired of being ignored by the entertainment industry to stand up and be heard - all it takes is a few e-mails, a few cards and letters, an hour or so a week at the View-Ins and we CAN make a difference!
