Universal Response from Paul Hardart to D2 (From 12/21/00)
We had our last major push of 2000 on December 2nd, 2000 called the December Deluge, thank you to all those who participated. I actually got a phone call from
Paul Hardart, the VP for Specialty Films at
Universal. He stated in a phone message, that
he had been speaking to the Television Department
and that a new BSG project was an interesting
idea. However he also said that with the current
merger it may have to stay on the Back-Burner
for a while. Still, the fact that he responded
to my December letter, and by phone, may mean
that Universal is taking notice of our efforts.
Vivendi, Seagram deal gets approval (From 12/06/00)
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS - Vivendi SA and Seagram Co. shareholders yesterday approved a
trans-Atlantic megadeal to create one of the world's largest
communications groups, which will boast an impressive stable of films
and music from the Universal movie and music studios.
Ninety-five percent of some 7,000 Vivendi shareholders said yes to the
$30 billion deal to create Vivendi Universal. The vote followed similar
action by Seagram shareholders in Montreal earlier in the day.
Shareholders of the third partner in the deal, Canal Plus, will vote
Friday. Vivendi holds 49 percent of Canal Plus.
The meeting was speckled with slick MTV-like compilations of the films
and music artists on the books fo the new Vivendi Universal. Among
recent films released by Universal Studios are "Gladiator" and "Dr.
Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas."
Seagram president Edgar Brnfman Jr. joined the Paris meeting by
video-link live from Montreal.
The new company will offer movies, TV programming, music,sports, games,
and educational and professional information via digital and analog
formats. The idea is to offer consumers music and films via computers,
TVs, andmobile phones-to conquer both content and distribution.
Shares in the company are due to start trading in Paris and New York on
Dec.11.

DragonCon 2000 Report on Dark Horizons - 7/03/00.
Bonnie Hammer held a chat on Scifi.com on June 22nd, 2000 at 9PM (EST). The very first question was related to BSG and she had some interesting comments...
Stlfan: What chance is there in seeing a new Battlestar Galactica series on SCIFI?
BonnieHammer: Funny you should mention that.
BonnieHammer: It is something we have thought of and continue to think of.
BonnieHammer: We actually started some prelminary conversations...
Bonnie Hammer: ...However we never know where they are going to go.
BonnieHammer: So I don't want to start any false hopes out there.
BonnieHammer: However it is something we are looking in to. GA
I was very excited by the mention and the fact that it was the very first question. There were about 260 people on the chat at any given time. I spotted a lot of BSG related usernames (athena.., viper.., adama..). It is very promising, I just wish it were more definite. Click Here for a screenshot of the actual Question and Response.
BBoard Mention about recent Radio Shack Commercial 6/7/2000
Anybody else see the new Radio Shack commercial, the one where Terri gets Howie to go to the store because of free popcorn? Keep your eyes open for it. When they first show the store, check to see what's playing on the TVs. It's almost enough to make me end my personal boycott of Radio Shack! -Brie
Note: There are 2 commecials, both feature a shot of Cylon Raiders returning to a baseship on the TVs shown. I now have a clip of one of the commecial up in the Multimedia Section. - CF
