Balto Source news
Phil Weinstein email! No Balto 4...And other news

Written by steet :



 

It's been quite some time since I updated, so now I have many things to say.Not really good things mainly, unfortunately...

First of all, some of you may probably wonder about a few Balto sites. This is a very sad news for the Balto community, but both Balto Central and Star's Haven sites have closed their doors.

They were two of the most popular and active Balto sites on the web, which makes it even more difficult to bare; but I guess everything has to come to an end one day...(Mmm, does anyone plan to start a site?...)

A better news now : the petition reached the 1.000 signatures limit; maybe we should have waited to get more signatures, but it has been sent by mail to Universal! Now, we can just wait & see. With a little luck, they will read it and take account of it. At least, now, we can say we have done what we could to give a better future for Balto. And maybe we'll get an answer from them, who knows?

But talking about that, this is not directly related to the petition but :

Phil Weinstein, director and producer of Balto 2 & 3, sent an email to the site !!! And here's what he says :


'Hello,
I wanted to thank everyone for their continued support of the Balto
franchise. I enjoy checking in occasionally to read the various posts. I
wish I could give you news on a Balto 4, but I have not heard any plans
as of yet. I also wanted to let everyone know that this summer I will
be directing a low budget family film titled 'Penny's Wish.' You can
follow the production via our weekly podcasts at www.projectnolight.com.
Again, thanks so much for keeping the spirit of Balto going! I hope to
return to Universal someday to continue the franchise!

Sincerely, Phil Weinstein '

This contains both a good and a bad news. The good news is that Phil visits the site, and reads our messages! (yes, yes, I'm very proud of this!)
The bad news is the near-official confirmation here that there is no Balto 4 in development at the moment. And it's always a bad news to hear that Universal does not seem to plan anything for this franchise...But well, this does not mean there will never be a new Balto film. Again, we'll just have to wait (a lot) & see...
If you want to talk about this,

Anyway, thank you VERY much for this email Phil, and we hope the best for your new project!

I'm dissapointed to hear that those other two Balto sites have shut down. I visited them occasionally, and did enjoy them. :( They'll be missed, but I'm glad that there is still such an active Balto webmaster online as you, Steet. Also, it's great to know that important people like Phil Weinstein view this site. Hope that petition generates a response from Universal. Balto forever! :) P.S. I keep forgetting to ask you steet, have you ever considered adding a comment section to the fan videos part of the site? I'd love to be able to comment on some of those great videos, as I'm sure they were all worked very hard on. :) Just a suggestion

Hi Steet, I heard it from a friend of mine who is working on the site with the owner of Balto Central. My friend is gonna be hosting him on his server. He told me they are working as fast as they can to get it back up but they are hopeing to get it back up really soon. He is gonna keep me updated about what is going on with Balto Central and I'll be sure to let you and everyone know what the lastest status is. But for right now Balto Central will be coming back soon.

Wow, this truly is an honor, knowing that Mr. Weinstein visits the site! Awesome. I guess Balto's on a bit of a hiatus for the moment, since it seems that Universal's DTV department has quite a large order of films to fill.

Wow... Phil Weinstein comes here?:o You should be very proud, Steet!!!!! That is AMAZING, and I am feeling quite sorry for those two sites. I know many people appreciated them, even though I have never been to either of them for more than a few minutes. Many thanks to the people who had built them, and had kept balto fans' hearts alive.

Those Balto sites where great:( I wondered why I couldn't get to either... Oh well, things always have to come to and end. I hope this site doesn't no where soon. Too bad a Balto 4 could wrap up the open ends of B2 and B3. And good that Phil visits this place though:)
