Title: Conference Call
Mischa - March 10, 2008 06:26 PM (GMT)
Hey Everybody...
I kind of wanted to keep this a surprise until I knew for sure, but I just can't keep it to myself anymore...
Some of you might already know that there's a scheduled conference call either this Saturday or Sunday (March 15th or 16th) with Gerry. This one is, of course, to help promote Nim's Island. Dayna from Gals, as well as myself, have tried a few times to contact Fox (who's sponsoring the call) to make them aware of our site. We've been doing this since last Thursday to no avail. However, Dayna just let me know that she's going to send my info again right now. We still have 5 or 6 days for this, so I'm only worrying a little bit, lol. Come Thursday or Friday, and I haven't heard anything, then I'll start to freak! Until then, I can only cross all my extremities in hopes of recieving an invitation.
So, in the event that I do indeed get invited, I'll need some questions. One primary question, but a couple of backups just in case ours is already taken by another site. The rules for this one, to my understanding, are a little different than that of the WB sponsored calls. For example...the questions must be Nim's Island related. Of course, we can incorporate Gerry's life in with that...but it must involve the movie.
PLEASE EVERYONE--IN CASE WE DO GET INVITED--GIVE ME SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT NIM'S ISLAND THAT YOU'D LIKE TO HEAR GERRY ANSWER! I'LL PICK 5 OF THEM FOR MY LIST. THE WINNER MIGHT--MIGHT!--GET SOMETHING SPECIAL FROM ME PERSONALLY. I HAVEN'T REALLY DECIDED YET LOL.
Also---and this is totally up to you guys..I have the email addy for Fox. If you'd like to send them a person email regarding DiscoverGerry and its involvement in this and future phone conferences with Gerry, let me know and I'll send it to you.
OK, SO GET ASKING! MAY THE BEST QUESTION WIN!

Well don't know how good a question this is, and I don't even know what his name is as the kids father---but WAS IT MORE FUN TO PLAY THE KIDS FATHER OR TO PLAY ALEX IN THE MOVIE?

That is just totaly AMAZING
my question... hmmmmmmmm
Did you prepare differently for your scenes with Jodie Foster compared to Abigail Breslin?
Or maybe.... Do you like working with animals in a movie as for example, sealions and Pelicans?

Dayna from GALS is so sweet! I’ve spoken to her a few times and she’s always been very nice.
We could bombard FOX with tons of emails that someone has to take notice! Hit me with the email and I’ll fire off one or two or three…
Questions-these are difficult to come up with. LOL!
What do you hope kids will walk with after watching this film? For example that anything is possible if you just overcome your fears or that science is cool?
If I can come up with another I’ll let you know.

These were down in the old phone conference thread....so I'm bringing them up here : )
From Lindafox:

How is working on a children's movie different from working on other films, that you have worked on?
Are working with children difficult? |
And from phantom9119:
| QUOTE |
here are some questions i thought of
1) how was filming at the Stockton Sand Dunes in Australia?
2) you play Jack / Alex Rover in the movie can you please describe your character? what you liked or disliked about playing him? and do you feel that you connected with the character in any way?
3)did you grow your hair out for the movie or is it a wig? |
Great questions! Thanks for your help : )

How about: WHAT WAS IT THAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THE SCRIPT TO WANT TO DO THIS FILM?
I think this is better than my FIRST question. *hang*
Mischa - March 16, 2008 01:06 AM (GMT)
Well kids...sorry to say, but we weren't invited this time around either. I'm hoping 3rd time's the charm.
The call is available for download on the Gals site, if you all are interested. I haven't listened to it yet, but I hear it was a good time!
You can find it here:

I'm sorry, Mischa. I know how much you wanted this for our site. I really wanted it to happen so that you'd get the chance to speak with Gerry. I remember when you told me about it, I couldn't stop smiling because you had this opportunity. It WILL happen one day so don't feel too bad about it. I know you're a little sad, but it will work out eventually! *hug* *9*
I'll have to listen to it next time...

I JUST KNOW YOU ARE GONNA ASK GERRY A QUESTION ON A CONFERENCE CALL ONE OF THESE DAYS MISCHA!!!! THE WRITEING IS ON THE WALL!
MAYBE IT WAS NOT MENT TO BE BECAUSE THIS WAS ABOUT THE MOVIE AND YOU ARE TO ASK A MORE GENERAL BRILLIANT QUESTION WHICH GERRY WILL BE CHARMED AND DELIGHTED WITH AND REMEMBER FOREVER IN A FUTURE GENERAL CONFERENCE! JUST WAIT---YOUR TIME IS COMING! *hang*
