“Plunge: The Movie” online petition

So we have been discussing it nonstop at the forums and we’ve come to the following conclusion: all of us came together to write a letter to the responsables for the movie so I could post it here and ask everyone who’d like to participate and watch this film comment on this post with their names and countries and then copy all those who commented, paste to the letter and send it to them. However, not to extend it for much longer, we are setting a due date: you have until June 20 to comment on this post.

Here’s the letter:

We are a group of people from different countries who have started a petition for getting “Plunge: The Movie” released on DVD, as you may have noticed if you have been checking your e-mail accounts lately. We came up with said petition after a fellow created a discussion in the forum of https://kate-winslet.net expressing how great it would be to see this film in which we knew Kate had participated but which had never been released. We were surprised to see how many people commented on that entry saying that it was a pity that we knew so little about this movie and encouraging one another to start a petition to get it released, either on DVD, or as a web release.

As all of Kate’s movies and miniseries are being released on DVD now, we thought it was a matter of time until we read news that “Plunge” was available for selling, but as it hasn’t happened yet, we were wondering what we could do to help you do this, since some of us have been waiting to see it for nearly ten years. We are aware, of course, that “Plunge: The Movie” is a small film and that you worked very hard to keep the project alive. We also know that there must be some commercial aspects that lie behind a release which don’t depend on you.

But it would be a pity to let your movie go unnoticed. If you gave us a clue on who to address to make a petition, we would willingly contact them and let them know how many of us are waiting to see the movie.

Hoping to hear from you soon,

– Juan Pablo Nario, Argentina

If you have a Kate site or participate on any Kate-related forums, please spread the word about this. The more the better!

Photo Gallery

I have opened the categories and albums for unregistered users, but you still have to register to view the pictures. Unfortunately, comments have been disabled as well since we were getting too many spams.

Also, as you may have notice, the gallery has a brand new layout. Thanks to Mycah for making such a beautiful layout!!!

Let’s get “Plunge: The Movie” released!

Fan Juan came up with this great idea to make the directors/producers of the little indie film Plunge: The Movie, featuring Kate (obviously). Her scenes were filmed in October of 1997 (It was probably right after Titanic!).

Director Max Newsom says, “Kate Winslet appeared in my kitchen behind a coffee cup one morning, shortly after the crew had parked themselves behind rows of bacon sandwiches. She’d heard about the rehearsals we’d been having and wanted to see what we were up to. She traveled with us to Cornwall and, two days later, rang to ask if there might not be a part she could do. The result of her inquiry was what you’ll see on screen”.

Anyway, here’s the idea for all of us to try making it released on DVD:

We are going to start a petition, writing e-mails to the following addresses:
charles@plunge-the-movie.com
info@plunge-the-movie.com

Notice that these addresses were, in fact, created for what we intend to do now: “For viewing the movie, contact us.” So, let’s get to it, shall we?!
So, come on, guys, Kate fans, admirers or even someone who doesn’t mind expend 5 minutes of your time and help us fans!
Let’s be creative and send lots of e-mails to those guys for us to get a chance to watch this movie. We need more people sending e-mails… let’s bomb them with e-mails. Make noise, be a pain on the neck!!! :)

Even if she only has a cameo, it is still Kate and we (I think I might as well include all Kate fans here) are dying to see it.
