VINCENT VENTRESCA MOVIE
<*><*><*><*><*><*>
Just another reminder to everyone that Vince has a new movie
premiering on the Sci-fi channel this Saturday, January 22nd, at 9
PM EST called Larva. It will replay again at 1:00 a.m. and there
will be an encore on January 27 at 9:00 p.m. Be sure to check your
local listings for the correct time in your time zone.
If you forget which days it is airing on, you can always check The
Invisible Man Online's event calendar at:
http://www.invisiblemanonline.com/event_calendar_current.htm (I
suggest using Internet Explorer to look at the event calendar.
It's a mess in Netscape.)
Thanks to Visball for the info about the Online Event Calendar.

IMMP ANNOUNCEMENT

Time to set those VCRs and dust off the stationary, I-Man Fans!
For those fans of The Invisible Man who still occasionally visit
the Sci Fi Channelšs website or watch the channel, you may have noticed
that Vincent Ventresca has a film scheduled to air this month (see
below for dates there seems to be some confusion on the part of
the schedulers... And consult your local listings for exact
information). OK, so it may not be I-Man. It may not even be something
you plan to watch. BUT. It may be a chance to remind TPTB that we are still
here, and still want our I-Man.
With the assignment of Thomas Vitale (a reputed ally in the initial
protest over the cancellation) as Senior Vice President of Original
programming, NOW would be the time to contact Sci Fi Channel once
again on behalf of Vince and The Invisible Man. Let the station
know that wešve noticed our I-Man is reappearing on their network, and
we want to know why they removed the Invisible Man web pages from
their navigation page and search engines when they are using Vincešs
appearance in one of their own original series to promote the new
film.
Ask them to return the series to the air in syndication, as they
have other of their original series, such as Farscape, which still airs
regularly. Ask them to reinstate the web pages. Ask them to
consider a DVD release for region 1. While they are doubtless not the
rights-holder, they certainly would know whom to approach, and are
more than capable of developing an arrangement with whichever part
of the NBC/Universal group DOES hold those rights to potentially
cross-promote a resyndication and a release of region 1 DVDs.
Why is it important to request I-Man be re-aired? Because that is
the only way to demonstrate to TPTB that there is a market for the
show. That it is high enough quality to draw new fans, and that those
fans will want tie in merchandising and potentially, the reunion movie
that has been in and out of negotiations for 2 years. In other
words, we need to get I-Man resyndicated to prove to them there are
profits to be made with the show, and that it is worth taking another look
at it, and perhaps promoting it as it ought to have been promoted in
the first place.
So if you have only one more I-Man letter in you, send it now.
Address your letter to:
Thomas Vitale

COMING ATTRACTIONS
<*><*><*><*><*><*>
I will be sending you information shortly on the chat with Vince
and Paul, the fan club auction and I-Manicon 2005. I will also be
sending out info on petitions for DVDs and the movie. And I will
also be asking Mardel to keep us updated on new merchandise
offerings. Time to get this fandom back into gear.
Take care everyone!
