Re: [monkey] Gday Monkey brothers! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 29 Feb 2000 08:25:57 GMT From: "Howell Parry" Subject: [monkey] Latest news on Monkey video release I spoke to Fabulous Films last night, and here's all the latest news: 1) They're trying to arrange an interview with Masaaki Sakai for "Loaded" magazine, to coincide with the video release. 2) They're still planning to include a postcard in each video box. On the back of each postcard, there will be details on how you can order: Monkey promotional posters, £7.99 each - ----------------------------------------- Here's the poster design (large image): http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Towers/8153/poster.jpg Here's a smaller version of it: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Towers/8153/poster_small.jpg Monkey t-shirts, £14.99 each - ----------------------------- These will be available in khaki or charcoal, will feature a "Monkey" logo, but won't have any photos of any of the characters. 3) They'll be flypostering Monkey posters all over London to advertise the release 4) Monkey competition - it's going well, there's 380 entries so far. 5) Monkey PR. I've been forwarded this information from Fabulous Films, which details all the planned PR in magazines, newspapers, TV and radio to promote the videos: - --- This is the progress so far. The TV & radio stuff is not definite as it's a bit too early and you never know exactly what's going to happen until they actually do it. I'm really pleased with all the magazine stuff. Obviously I'll keep on at them to make sure all things they've promised actually happen.
