Over at MTS, bookworm (aka strutsandfrets) was saying how she had emailed Benson Entertainment: Out of curiosity, I wrote Benson Entertainment and asked them how the sales were going. Here is their reply:
forums.morethanspike.com/index.php?s=&act=ST&f=5&t=1322&st=140
******************************* I am very glad they have covered their costs and I'm sure the movie will continue to sell. So if you were dithering about it - shall I, shan't I, it's a lot of money - think of it this way.... Christmas is a-comin'. Stick it on your letter to Santa ;D It could just be the price of a good meal/night out.... but this you can keep forever and enjoy over and again ;D And let's be damn obvious here - James is marvellous in it, and so luverly! How could you resist?!

Seems that some pf the PAL versions of the DVD were faulty - mine wasn't - and so everyone purchasing one has been sent a replacement. As I obviously don't need it I am going to make it the prize in a Festive Fun competition, to begin in a few days here on the board! Of course, it won't be much use to you if you aren't a PAL person, or don't have a multi-regional DVD player, (or you have it already, LMAO!) but you could join in with the competition anyway (And there will be another comp with a completely non-regional prize ;D)

Here's an official chance to win "Chance" - Amber donated two copies of the DVD to the Beeb when she did an interview with them on her current "tour". Easy question, it's worth a go! Interview etc and comp details here

Well, unless you have multi-regional facilities, the DVD wouldn't be much use to you.... Make a nice ornament I guess as it has the pic from the movie poster on it... ;D

A transcript of the movie is up at the Chance website. I'm going to read it... but I'd gone there originally to find out about maybe ordering... If I could buy it at Walmart I'd have bought it a long time ago! Still not sure about ordering stuff online... Okay, I'm thinking this is the script, and not a transcript, as I read this: "The front door opens and a young guy with long dark hair, SIMON, comes in carrying a sack of groceries. " James definitely did not have long dark hair in the movie... and I've barely started reading and James/Simon has already said the f-word twice... I've really got to get this... ;D

The script there isn't exactly how it is in the movie, though. I realise a lot of people have misgivings about ordering online but I have been doing that for two years now and it is fantastic! ;D This just in from Forbidden Planet in the UK: COMING SOON · Pre-order now Chance DVD & Signed Poster Many of you have asked us if we can get the film that Amber Benson made - writing, directing and starring in it - called Chance. Amber and her gang have graciously allowed us to offer it in a pack along with a signed print of the movie poster. So now you can save on international postage and customs. DVD is PAL region free. January. Our Price: £28.99 www.scifiwarehouse.com/

;D Gotta say I liked it.....despite the hideous clothes James wears, and ,I have to say the liberal amount of swearing which detracts from the good dialogue in there. Have to put in a good word for Andy Hallett...it's no wonder J was laughing like a drain in their scene together.....the way he looked our boy up and down as he was sprawled on the park bench....lascivious or what?! Chances mom was a scream....James was so vulnerable/sweet/strange....and so damn sexy at the end I was so busy imagining being swept up in those arms , that i didn't look at the credits properly, but noticed J was only in 1 outtake....and was David Fury the pizza guy? I dunno...guess I'll have to watch it again!!

Yeah, The Furious One was the pizza guy, thankfully a small role. I think the guy has delusions of thespianism I didn't even notice the swearing NN. They speak how I speak, so you are gonna have to deal!

okay I've got my eyes closed while I type so as not to see any spoilers I brought the lovely 'Chance' CD ( PK) into work today (hey come on, I've not stopped working in the past 3 weeks ) but the fecker won't play on my puter will have to wait till tonight, which is probably better as I think I'll buy meself a nice bottle of wine and some snacks on the way home and make a night of it, as I have 2 episodes of Angel to catch up on too! ;D

Wonder if you ever got it to play NL.... Well, maybe we'll be seeing it at the weekend DVD Times have reviewed it, and it is mostly fair comment. I find it hugely enjoyable in a naive way, but if I wasn't so into the actors, would I?! No way of knowing. Anyway, you can read it HERE I do have to take exception with a comment about James though! It sounds pretty schizophrenic to me, love and hate an' all that. I hate that charge of scenery chewing, usually only bandied about by anti-Spikes to be fair. But gah! Simon is riddled with insecurities but in the circumstances he is played so naturally and almost under-statedly by James..... So yes, of course it feels authentic!

I adore this film! Watched it again yesterday at the audience. It is a real love story and also funny. The audience loved it, especially Simon jumping up and down on the bed. I need to get Snow another copy, she had one from the Internet and forgot to take the little black thing off and taped over bits of it! Luckily she says it wasnt James bits, but still. ;D

People I TOTALLY recommend this film, I downloaded it about a year ago and I've watched it so many times it's unreal. ALthough it took me a while to work out that Andy Hallet (SP?) was in it! How dense did I feel when I finally worked it out!

Scenery chewing? If by that he means stealing the show cause he's so gorgeous, then I'll agree. Otherwise . . . In any case, I really liked Chance, and I just wondered, do you think Amber wrote it and cast James just so they could make out? Hey, I would have.

Picked up this little snippet from the Melbourne Q&A, as reported by sandyd at MoZHope this is true. Would prove that persistence pays off.

Silly me forgot to mention that snippet of info. James did say that Amber had found a distributor - which is great I reckon. James seems to think that after we've forgotten all the other BtVS/AtS actors, Amber will still be around. As if we could ever forget James! ;D
