Movie Petition Update #1

For those of you who have been under a rock for the past near-48 hours, we are delighted to announce that our #ArtemisFowlMovie campaign and our petition absolutely stormed the web, and is over halfway to reaching our target of 10,000 signatures!

Within a few hours of the petition going live, it had reached the Front Page of Reddit, bringing tens-of-thousands of users to AFC, nearly collapsing our web server entirely. We went viral across Facebook & Twitter, with thousands of Likes, Shares, Tweets & Retweets. It was utter magic, and so incredibly heart-warming to see that the Artemis Fowl Fandom is very much alive and kicking across the world. We even made it onto Eoin Colfer’s personal Facebook & Twitter profiles!

Am genuinely touched by fans support to get an #ArtemisFowlFilm made. Petition currently happening @AFConfidential http://t.co/rIKM1leZZL

However, our work is not done yet.

The aim of this campaign is to make our voices head. To tell Disney that we have been waiting for nearly 15 YEARS for a movie.

‘So, what’s next?’ I hear you ask…

Well, the first thing we need to do is show the world that the fandom is very much still alive. Once we hit 10,000 signatures (and we will be pushing hard over the coming days to ensure we reach this goal) we will organise the next step in our campaign for a movie. So, until then, check out some links below on what you can do to help further the cause.
