We all want Millennium as least as a movie. However, I do not think anybody knows Millennium better than you the fans and Actor Lance Henriksen.If Millennium comes back as a movie or series, I believe there should be as part of the pre and post production, Fan advisors as a regular part of the show.
A lot of the original people involved in the creative directions of the prior series messed up badly. I do not think we can do worst because we know at least by now what people like about Millennium and did not.
We also know parts of Millennium the series, scenes that just "did not cut it". I know this is bold. However, what do we have to lose? Let's be more tenacious about what we want. The creative control of Millennium needs to be shared and not rest in the hand of a few uninformed decision makers.
Changing the story a little I recently watched a "read" meeting for the cast of Battlestar Galacticia. At this read and other meetings the producers, directors, and especially the excutive producer, Ronald Moore, listened to what the cast had to say regarding a script and their characters and direction of the show. Some of the cast's ideas were included in the script and others were not. The most important thing is their creativity regarding the show is encouraged by the executive producer and other top decision makers take the cast ideas seriously. I spoke to Actors' James Callous and Aaron Douglass about the show at some recent conventions last year . James told me that they do the above and Aaron listened to some plot ideas from me. Now I know why Aaron was interested in what I had to say. My ideas about a certain aspect of the show I discussed with Aaron had been filmed. Scouts honor I did not know about it!!!!! When the series started I could not believe it. What I felt the public needed to see was there. It was there all the time; however, Aaron (Chief) could not say anything,
Anyway let's consider revising our petition to request that some well versed Millennium fans are included on the staff of the next Millennium as fan advisors. Let's sell ourselves that if the show and/or movies returns with a "bang" it could increase ratings and sales. Just think there are approximately 3 to 5 Millennium fansites. That is a lot of talent. However, the fan advisers should not be film graduates that studied for years the old traditional ways of doing films with very little imagination. It should be people like us. We have lived the Millennium.
Thanks for reading this entry. I hope somebody will take it seriously. Nothing can happen to us for making the suggestion. Besides, the studio hasn't done anything yet. However, this may be the "kick" they need.
What do we have to do? We gave them statistics. Now let's tell them as tactful as we can what really brought Millennium down. That is the creative process was hindered.
I believe in this approach whole heartly. What do you think?
Let's sell ourselves.

BRING BACK FRANK BLACK - MAKE A MILLENNIUM FILM
***********************************************
Chris Carter’s sci-fi horror series Millennium (1996-1999) has achieved cult status with fans around the world. The TV series had a profound impact on those who watched it; the lead character Frank Black, played by actor Lance Henriksen, was a true hero for our time and is loved by many. This is why Twentieth Century Fox should immortalise him in film.
There are some strong arguments to justify making a Millennium movie:
· Pre-sales of the new DVD box set, Millennium: The Complete First Season, have achieved a high sales rank at Amazon.com;
· The growing fan base for Millennium following the release of the DVD of the TV series, would mean an immediate, captive audience for DVD sales of the movie;
· The primary target audience for the movie would be 35-65 year-olds who represent the fastest growing cinema-going and DVD-buying audience;
· It would also appeal heavily to the 25-34 age group (particularly given the runaway success of the recent TV series, CSI), who account for 35% of all cinema-goers;
· The movie would allow a deeper development of Frank Black, giving a new angle on this intriguing character;
· Fans of both Millennium and Lance Henriksen are predominantly from eight of the largest cinema attending countries in the world.
The success of the movie will be dependent on two things: that Lance Henriksen is cast as Frank Black and a top rate script is developed. Lance’s portrayal of the troubled FBI profiler was breathtaking, creating one of the best TV characters of all time. Lance himself is keen to further develop the role; he has made it clear that he would like to do a Millennium movie.
Perhaps more importantly, there is a large potential market. Millennium’s largest fan bases are the US/Canada followed by the UK/Europe and Australia/Asia. These are all large cinema-attending countries:
********************************************************************
US/CAN/MEXICO: 60% fan base; population - 428 m; percentage of 25 to 65-yr-olds - 55%; available audience - 235 m; total accessible audience - 141 m.
UK/EUROPE: 30% fan base; population - 536 m; percentage of 25 to 65-yr-olds - 53%; available audience - 284 m; total accessible audience - 85 m.
AUSTRALIA/ASIA: 10% fan base; population - 3,152 m; percentage of 25 to 65-yr-olds - 45%; available audience - 1,418 m; total accessible audience - 142 m.
*********************************************************************
The demographics support these audience figures. Whilst the 25 to 34-yr-old group represents 35% of all cinema attendees, the number of people over 35 yrs that are going to the cinema regularly has grown by nearly 200% over the last 6 years. Nearly three quarters of these go with their partner or spouse; of course, the movie will have a strong appeal for both.
Moreover, it is the older age groups that have both the disposable income and time to enjoy these pursuits: in the UK alone 11m people between the ages of 45-60 own 70% of the nation’s wealth. And over the last two decades consumption by the over 50s has risen by three times that of the rest of the population.
As we said at the start, the numbers add up. When box office return is so important to you, can you afford NOT to make this movie?

I can be such a clown sometimes. Lance sat down between me and another fan. Lance and I discussed his award and I said something that amused Lance. Then Lance said something funny to me.
Speaking of Jolie, Jolie won first place for her costume including a $250.00 gift certificate at the 2006 Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis Convention by Creation Entertainment. That was the last 2006 event for Burbank, California in 2006. Doesn't Jolie look great. In addition, Jolie made the costume.
silly
incredulous
In my opinion, Super fans of the Millennium Series we should stop caring whether a Millennium movie is made or not. There were so many unresolved issues that happened behind the scenes with participants that wrecked what could have been a longer lasting and thought provoking series. If a Millennium movie were made now the studios probably would bring in writers, creators, directors, etc., that have no real insight into the series. More than likely Super Fans we will not like the movie. And as we saw with AVP2 they may not bring back the orginal actor that we all want to see portray Frank Black. The one and only Actor Lance Henriksen. As far as I am concerned, there is no Millennium without Actor Lance Henriksen. By Lafemmenikita07
