The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

HMMMMM Interesting! I just checked the wesbite again hoping for the final result and the "Voting is closed" message has gone and the Voting page has reapppeared! :shock:

Hopefully this is an indication that edits are being made to the site and somebody goofed rather than anything more "sinister"!

I may risk another email to the nice customer services lady. :delta:

So it has.
I took the opportunity to vote for Aliens. I can't go unfortunately, I'll be busy on a little stroll in The Netherlands.

Well yesterday I emailed Lyndsay the Customer Service contact I've communicated with before to see what was happening as follows;

Quote:
Hello Lindsay,
can you give any indication as to when the result of the voting for the screening at Pinewood will finally be released?

Also you may wish to know that the reappearance of the, apparently still active, voting page on your website after the closing date and a “results soon message” was posted is causing concern amongst the inevitable “conspiracy theorists” which all fan groups contain!

I also copied in the email address of the Marketing & Press person, Laura, from their Contact Us page. So anyway this morning I received the following reply from George Wood who is their Corporate Enquiries contact (according to the Contact Us page)

Quote:
Hi Alan,

Thanks for your email.

We are hoping to announce the result of the Pinewood vote very shortly. We are in fact just awaiting final confirmation of the title from the rights holders - should be imminent! I can reassure you that the conspiracy theorists need not be concerned - the voting conducted over social media, through the Luna website and indeed by the venue themselves will provide a clear winner.

Make sure you join the mailing list and we will update you the minute we have the news! We look forward to seeing you there for a night of cinema under the stars at Pinewood!

Kind Regards,

George and the Luna team


Now if the massive majority Aliens had on Facebook is reflected in the voting elsewhere perhaps we have something to look forward to :?: :mrgreen:

LATEST UPDATE!

Just received this via email from Lyndsay,the Customer Service Rep, who was my initial contact;

Quote:
Hi Alan,

Its good to hear from you again. I know you are all desperate to find out the result! I've spoken to George and he's said voting was extended because it was generating lots of good interest and marketing for the event. I can't tell you which film is in the lead at the moment, George has instructed me to keep my lips sealed!

Feel free to keep the conspiracy theories going, I've just got a bonkers boss who wanted to keep the voting open a bit longer!

Kind Regards,

Lyndsay


So I would infer from the above that votes cast now after the original published closing date are still being counted in which case I wonder if I have any spare valid email addresses? :twisted:

So I wonder if they will publish what won at the original deadline and if the final result was different?

I suppose I could email back and ask if votes polled AFTER the given deadline will actually count or if this is just a marketing/PR stunt? Although I suspect I won't get an answer! ;-)

Her message is a little ambiguous in places but whether that is intentional or not who can say?

Hi Gunner,
on the 25th I sent the following by email to Lyndsay the customer services contact

Quote:
Hi Lyndsay,
It’s now the 25th a month before the showing is due to take place. For those of us who live outside London and the Home Counties planning a trip to London can take a little time so it would be nice to know when the result is likely to be announced. So that the requisite tickets can be ordered, time off work booked etc.

Many thanks for any help you can offer.

Kind Regards

Alan Dawson aka "Winch"

and I received the following day at about 22.30.

Quote:
Hi Alan,

I have forwarded your email on to George, our managing director so he can understand the timeline you are working with. I am still not privy to the leader of the vote.

Kind Regards,

Lyndsay

Since then I've heard nothing! :roll:

Of course we could all try emailing "George" directly!

WOOOOOHOOOOOO!

This just in!

Hi Alan,

In the last couple of minutes I've had the news you have been waiting for! Aliens is confirmed as the chosen film for Pinewood Studios. After over 3000 votes across the website and social media platforms, Aliens has emerged victorious and as such is the film chosen as "the greatest ever made at Pinewood Studios" and will be exclusively screened in the gardens of Pinewood on our giant screen on the 25th July!

I hope it isnt too late for the fans of this film to come along. Thank you all for your patience, I know its been a long time coming.

Kind Regards

Lyndsay



Anyone up for a UKCM Group buy on tickets if there is more than 10 of us we can save quid each on tickets! ;-)

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this, Winch. Group buy sounds good, but I'm gonna also try to approach it from a UKCM-corporate view too... ;)

I've started a drop thread here: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=13301
