Kelli, you are so cool to be on this page. I saw this movie on the big sceen when it came out, on a first date when I was 17 years old. I realized, that we were not meant to be together because, she didn't get how great this movie was. It total sucks that you do not get compensation for the DVD, back in 1984 who know the big deal DVD's or even VHS's was going to be. There was no way you could have to thought of to put this in your contract. But, if the movie company had any soul, they would know you are the reason they are making more money on this movie. But, since they don't, all they see is the money and don't care about you. I read the IMBD threads all the time and have never posted before, but because you are so open and honest, I felt they need to.

Thanks! It means alot to me to talk to people and it's nice to know that people enjoy your work, of course. It's funny but actors mostly just take the deal that they are offered. Not many actors are able to dictate what gets in their contract. It might seem that way because ya read about big studio deals and stuff.

Had a crush on you then, still do now. Though I'm sure you already have a man who completely adores you. You still look as fantastic now as you did in your NotC Cheerleader uniform (which I'm glad to hear you still have).
I was so happy to read on your MySpace blog, and here, that one of my all-time fave 80's movies; Night of the Comet, is going to be on DVD soon.
Sad that they aren't doing actor's commentaries, at least this time. You've seen how studios do it; they release a movie on DVD, then a few months later, a "Special Edition", then an "Ultimate Edition" and so on. Hopefully, you all (Catherine, Robert, and yourself) can do a commentary and interviews on one of those versions.
I just hope it's in Widescreen format. Viewers lose so much withb68 fullscreen.
Best of luck on your endeavors.

Thank you. I have no idea what the DVD will be like. I hope it's as good as the fans expect it to be, after waiting so long for it. : )
A fan sent me a copy of the DVD cover, on which he had restored the byline, "It was the last thing on Earth they ever expected. " He tells me that the DVD tagline reads " They came, they shopped, they saved the world"
??????? I hope someone over at MGM or Turner Classics actually watched the film. This fan thought, and I agree, that this tagline misses the point of the film. What was so great about it was not that we were "heroes' but that we were just pretty typical Valley kids who found themselves in an incomprehensible situation and managed to come through it in a creative an5b4d entertaining fashion, not that we were Lolita Rambos to begin with!
Anyway, fingers crossed that the release is a huge success so we can do some extras on another DVD, as you said, and a sequel. Not a remake with interchangable kids and super duper CGI and special effects, but back down to the weird situations and characters that the fans liked in the first place.
Thanks for writing! Guess you caught me in a chatty mood!

"They came,they shopped,they saved the world"
What the heck is up with that tagline?
Well Kelli, I definately remember seeing you shopping in the movie:) But I don't remember you saving the world. I mean I remember you saving two kids from blood-thirsty scientists (sounds like Dracula)butthe world was still therehardly any people, but it was still there. So it didn't seem like you were a Wonder Woman character in the film. To me you were just a cute valley girl cheerleader with the harsh reality of the world ending and worse of allNO FOOTBALL TEAM TO CHEER FOR! AHHHHHHHHH!:)
You know something Kelli? I don't think MGM cares about how special Night of the comet is to us fans. They probably just put it out on DVD with no extras or commentaries just to stop hearing us complain about them not putting it on DVD. It's like they're saying "Hear it's on DVD now shut up."
A lot of people don't like the cover of the soon-to-be-released DVD. Personally the part of the cover I like is you being on the cover. Seeing you in that colorful cheerleader outfit and the way you stole the show in NOTC reminds me of why I became one of your fansthis film. -

How could you not be compensated for a DVD release? Didn't contracts include at least some royalty provisions for future video releases, whether in the5b4n current formats like VHS and Beta, or in future formats? Or were you all just paid cash and told to 'go home' at the end of shooting. Sounds like a crappy deal.
I always liked NOTC. The whole 1980s music and look make it an enjoyable film today. -

Funny how they don't have to pay you when they release the DVD, but when I used to buy CD's to replace LP's I have - I have to pay full price (while I should only be paying for the disc, as I already paid for the content). He who has the law firm -
