75th Anniversary Of d-Day Landing

On Sunday, March 3^rd, the movie, IMMORTAL WARS RESURGENCE, will premiere at AMC Town Square Theater, 6587 Las Vegas Blvd, So, LV 89119.  This is a sci-fi movie produced in Las Vegas. The “red carpet” will be rolled out at 6:00pm. 

The movie producers will salute the Southern Nevada chapters of the Military Order of the Purple Heart at the premiere and depending on the number of paid attendees, we may receive a nice financial contribution too.  The theater room will seat 430 and they anticipate a nearly full house.  They will also provide us a table at the entrance to the room for MOPH literature at which we may place a donations jar, distribute violas, greet the movie-goers, answer questions, etc.

Today I met with Joe Lujan (Director/Writer/Producer) and Robert Larson (Executive Producer) of Carcass Studios, who advised me the film will only be shown in Las Vegas on March 3rd and then in a few other select cities.  In June, DVDs of the film will be available for purchase at Wal-Mart, Target and other retail outlets.  The DVDs generate the revenue to the film studio; not the premieres, which are for promotion and publicity.  FYI, tickets must be pre-purchased online (no tickets sold at the theater) for $15.  See Carcass Studios on Facebook for more information.  

I would like five patriots from Chapter 711 and five from Chapter 730 inappropriate attire to attend and help at the premiere (comp tickets for these ten).  We will need representation at the MOPH    table, literature for the table, violas, Donation jar (Chap 711), the US and MOPH flags at the table (Chap 711) and a US flag on the stage (Chap 730) for the Pledge of Allegiance prior to the showing. Those ten patriots should be at the AMC Town Square Theater by 5:30 pm to set-up.  Doors open to the public at 6:00 pm, film will be shown from 7:20 pm to 9:20 pm, preceded by Pledge of Allegiance and remarks by the producers and perhaps some of the cast.

Robert Serge, You should be receiving an email or call from the producers with information, artwork and a short preview of the film for Chapter 711 website, facebook page, and your blog. 

Dan Peterson, please contact Robert Serge (702 715-0558, rserge1@outlook.com) if you wish to post on Chapter 730 website, etc.

Joe Lujan will be at Chapter 711’s March 2^nd meeting to tell us more.  

Yours in Patriotism,

Hello Robert, Len ask for me to send artwork and the trailer to our film 'The Immortal Wars: Resurgence” for marketing and promotions. Attached is the film poster and trailer.
