Legend of the Seeker Fans Coming Out for Halloween and Beyond

Fans of the hit television show Legend of the Seeker (which was cancelled only because of the Tribune Company's bankruptcy in 2010) are still mobilizing to bring back the show in some form or another. The current objective is to persuade Sam Raimi to do a movie. If a movie is successful it can lead to other movies or new television productions, and the Internet has changed the way off-network programming is marketed. There is a lot of opportunity for a creative show when you demonstrate that an audience exists for that show.

This October Seeker fans are collaborating on two new projects. I have outlined how All Seeker's Eve should work on the SaveTheSeeker blog. But by fortunate circumstance Laura Ventura from Save Our Seeker had also been working on something for October. She is sponsoring a letter-writing contest, running from October 11 through November 10. Yes, you can win prizes just for telling Sam Raimi how much you love the show and want to see a movie.

It took Star Trek fans 10 years to get their first movie, and just look at what happened after that. Don't give up just because four years have elapsed since Tribune pulled the rug out from under a great TV show. Worst things have happened in the entertainment industry. Heck, they even finally rescued the castaways from Gilligan's Island.

You can make a difference by showing that you still want a movie. You can show your support on your blog, on your social media accounts, in your video accounts, at Halloween parties, and in a lot of ways.

Sam Raimi is no stranger to online fandom. He knows we're here. We supported "Army of Darkness". We supported "Hercules" and "Xena". We supported "Spider-man". Speak with one voice on this issue and you will be heard. Show all the accountants you're willing to buy movie tickets and THEY will clamor for a movie.

Entertainment happens when people believe in it. If you want the people who can make this happen to do their part then you need to do your part and show them that you believe in the idea and in them.

Never give up. Never surrender. There is no point in calling yourself a fan if you do either.
