James McLean on Back To Frank Black


Interview by Patrick Munn on Back to Frank Black - the campaign for the return of Millennium's Frank Black.
James McLean, founder and Co-Project Manager for Back To Frank Black, talks to us about the campaign, the support they have received and more.
Shorty after running our series of articles on XFilesNews, I was contacted by one of the two project managers behind the website Back To Frank Black. The site is devoted to seeing the central character of Millennium, Frank Black, resurrected in one form or another. To see if this was possible I spoke with contacts at 20th Century Fox and FX, who stated that a Millennium project was not on their "radars" at the present time. Shortly after that, I wrote a fairly in depth article on the campaign and its history. Just this past week I had the chance to interview James McLean, one of the campaign’s two project managers, about their origins, their upcoming book and more.

So, James, you are one of the two project managers for Back To Frank Black. Can you tell us what that involves? What do you tend to be doing on a day-to-day basis?

A lot of it is planning. There is a lot of planning, some stuff doesn’t work. But there’s a lot of reacting to issues and trying to build on them. We don’t have a big staff, so it’s not really about co-ordinating people; it’s about co-ordinating the direction of the campaign.
