PCM has posted in the past about the campaign by the guys over at Back to Frank Black to get a movie made based on the television series Millennium that aired from 1996-1999. Lance Henriksen, who played the main character of “Frank Black” on the show, is 100% in support of the campaign and has regular communication with Back to Frank Black on the matter. Others who were involved with the show, such as Chris Carter, Frank Spotnitz and Glen Morgan, have also expressed interest.
The show was canceled before it ever got a chance to have a proper conclusion, which is what the movie would accomplish if it were to get made. One of the things Back to Frank Black is doing is holding a Movie Poster Art Contest (which starts Monday, July 26th), in which Lance Henriksen himself will pick the winner! Read on for details, as well as a promotional trailer for the competition.
From Back to Frank Black:
COMPETITION: THE MILLENNIUM MOVIE POSTER PROJECT
From hypnotic visions of gruesome violence to brightly-colored vistas of heart and home, from stunning scenes of apocalyptic horror to lurid portraits of evil incarnate, Millennium was a television series that delivered some of the most vivid, unique, and memorable imagery ever seen on television. Now, the time has come for you to present your own personal vision of Millennium…
We are pleased and excited to announce a brand new competition from Back to Frank Black. For this, we would like you to look ahead, to imagine what you would like to see in the Millennium feature film, and to represent that by way of a poster design for “your” movie!
Good luck! We look forward to seeing your Millennium movie poster designs.
The composition of the poster is entirely up to you. You might decide to put your Photoshop skills to full use or you might want to design, draw, or paint an entirely original work of art. You could include a subtitle for the film, a tagline, or credits for cast and crew. The banner could find its focus in a photographic portrait or in an illustration completely abstract. The only limit is your imagination! Show us your vision of Millennium and its future. If you’re struggling for inspiration, feel free to review the archive of advertising material from the TV show’s history here, on the Millennial Abyss.
We ask that you submit your entry or entries–as you are free to submit multiple posters if you have a wealth of ideas–as either a JPEG or a PDF file(s) by e-mail to info@backtofrankblack.com. Be sure that your subject line reads “Millennium Movie Poster Project” and that the e-mail includes both your name and address. As judge of the competition, Lance Henriksen himself will choose the winning poster! The contest’s exclusive prize will be announced shortly. The closing date for entries is August 29th, so start planning your image!
