Don’t forget! This Friday February 26th is our first Save Wizards Day!

On Friday, it’s important that we have as many fans as possible email and call Disney to request a fourth season for Wizards.

But it’s also important that fans send paper letters to Disney in advance of the event. Emails are easy, but paper letters show dedication and they all have to be read! Emails can be filtered and deleted, but letters and phone calls can’t just be ignored. Start sending your letters now, so that Disney will receive them on or around Friday. You can get the addresses here. At the very least, please write to Carolina Lightcap and Robert Iger.

Let’s make our first Save Wizards Day as big as possible! Be sure to spread the word however you can. Join and promote our Facebook group to your friends, follow and re-tweet our Twitter, and link back to us whatever else you can think of. Together, we will can make a difference this February 26th.

It looks like Disney’s really starting to cut back on their new film production.

Potential buyers of Walt Disney Co.’s (DIS) Miramax film unit include Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (LGF) and the Weinstein brothers, Reuters reported Monday on its Web site, citing unnamed sources familiar with the situation said.

Independent studio Summit Entertainment might also be interested in Miramax, the sources said on condition of anonymity, according to the new agency.

A Lions Gate spokesman was unavailable for comment, and Disney and Summit declined comment, the report said.

The Weinstein Co. confirmed its interest in Miramax, the report said. “We are keen to look at the company and we will see what happens in coming weeks,” it quoted David Glasser, operations executive for the independent Weinstein Co., as saying.

A Save Wizards Email Usage Update

Friday February 5th was the unofficial kick off of our movement with an “unofficial” email Disney day. Wizards fans from around the globe came together and sent nearly a thousand emails through our SDS email program! Plus many more emails that where sent directly.

We have a long ways to go, and we still need to grow our numbers substantially, but we’re off to a great start!

Let’s make our first Save Wizards Day as big as possible! If we can make a big enough splash, we may even get an announcement this month. So start writing your paper letters, start thinking about what you’re going to say when you call, and start spreading the word! Our Save Wizards Day is coming up on February 26th.

Talk about great timing! SDS Webmaster Greg was able to attend the February 2nd 2010 WOWP live audience filming at the Hollywood Center Studios in Los Angeles.

“I got to meet Selena, Jake, and David. No not David Henrie, David DeLuise. He’s a really cool guy. Jake was fun to talk with as well. But of course, I was there to see Selena. And not only did I speak with her without making a fool of myself, I got a picture with her and an awesome autograph to frame and hang on the wall.“(more)

More importantly, he also spoke with one of the executive producers about the fourth season, and our movement to make sure the show is renewed.

“The problem is Disney dragging their feet. Not Selena or any of the cast. So we’re gonna let Disney have it. They know they should renew this show, but we’re gonna make sure they do it.”

And that’s exactly what we’re going to do starting Friday with our first Save Wizards event…
