Any Blake's 7 film News?

[Dave]

I did eventually sign up for the newsletter, there was a problem with bouncing ayatollah giving my email address by proxy.

Still waiting for the first one though, I think they said it wouldn't be out for a few months.

OOOooooo....

Hmmmm.... I just got this:

"Hi, Just to let you know that whilst it may appear that things have been quiet on the newsfront of late we have been very busy. Stand by for some important news on the planned future of BLAKE'S 7 over the coming weeks. Regards Andrew Mark Sewell"


Now if that doesn't sound interesting I'm a wizened old man!

Why are 'they' always so secretive?

I know really... that contractual agreements may not be signed, blah, blah, and people can get upset about things being announced that they haven't yet signed on the dotted lines...

I've heard other projects have been called off because of such leaks in the past.

But 'they' will want to make money out of it in the end, and it is the fans who will go and see it, so why do 'they' mess us around so much (I'm talking about the PTB in general here, not just B7 producers.)

This is one of their earlier newsletters posted online with permission.

It explains some of the reasons that it takes so long to make a TV movie.

"Well now", the new "official" B7 site opened up on 21st July, and has over 700 registered members - a good forum and - yes there are still plans for the revival by B7E (Andrew Mark Sewell, Simon Moorehead and Paul Darrow) to do a 4-hour mini-series. (Hopefully, if all goes well to be screened in 2005!)

So, far only AVON will be in the new show - but, ORAC and SERVALAN (have also distinct possibilities of returning)
