Hi I'm Dianne Hasse and I am the owner and creator of Weirdly Obsessive Gerard Butler Fans. Thank you so much for the shout out. I was hoping if perhaps you can provide us with a little inside information about shooting news if that's allowed or other little benign tidbits. Gerry's fans would be so thrilled and so would I.
Again, thank you for the shout out.
Warmest regards,
Dianne aka Webmistress Dianne

I just started a thread promoting your facebook page to Gerard Butler Fans and I thought I would include my contact information. I live in the Detroit area
I want to thank you so much, the fans are so excited to have this little bit of contact with Gerry. He has the most dedicated fans in the world. Really lovely people.

No problem. He is here in Shreveport at the moment as he is actually a producer as well. The film as you probably already know is called "White House Fallen" We will keep in touch with you!

Dianne , if you are interested which I sure you are, I will be getting either a photo, or memorbilia from Olympus and have Gerry sign it. I think you should start a contest through your board and I will mail it out to the winner. What do you think?

Dianne Hasse
That sounds absolutely awesome. Do you have an idea for the contest theme? What I will do is contact my team and we will throw around some ideas. Maybe a silent auction to go to Gerry's fave charity.... I'll write you back in a day or so. Meanwhile, I will talk to my girls and if we put our heads together we can come up with something really good.

I would like your input. we are discussing it and so far what we've come up with is a raffle with all the proceeds going to Kids Kicking Cancer. In the past the fans who are wealthy have bid on these items and gotten them. We want all the fans to be able to participate. So what we've decided to do is sell raffle tickets for $20.00 per ticket. Each person will be allowed one ticket so we will have tons of entries. If you have five items (lets say) we will draw five tickets.
That way everybody will have the same chance . One ticket per person so there will be a different winner for each prize.
I was wondering, you'll have to clear this through Amy (Gerry's assistant) and Gerry, but I was thinking of flying down to Shreveport for an on set visit, if you can arrange it.Could you inquire about it and get back to me? Thank you.

That sounds like a great idea Dianne. And btw my name is Wade Marshall if I havn't told you already. I run the production services for Millennium Studios. I will get this info to Amy and see what we can do! Gerry would have no problem with it I'm sure. Will talk soon!

Hi Wade, I'm busy nailing down the details. I've contacted the charity and I will wait to hear from them. They are a Detroit based charity that Gerry supported will he was here making Machine Gun Preacher. It makes it fairly easy for me because I live in the Detroit area. I will contact you when I have all the details straightened out.
Thank you Wade my people are going to be so excited.

Hi Wade, It's me again. I am motivated. I just talked to Rabbi Goldberg on the phone and he is founder and director of Kids Kicking Cancer. He told me that he knows Gerry very well and just had lunch yesterday with Gerry's Manager. He also said that Alan, Gerry's agent and business partner is on the board for the charity.
He told me to go down to Shreveport and get as many items as I can. He joked and said that if Gerry sweated on them it would be all the better. The reason he wants me to get them is, in the past they have had some crossed wires and trouble getting items out in a timely fashion.
Rabbi Goldberg's office is at Wayne State University School of Medicine and that is only a twenty minute drive from my house. I can personally deliver the items to him. He told me that he would be happy to help me raffle the items off to my members and and other Gerry fans interested. I am very excited.
My scheduled is this: The second week of July I am visiting family out of state. On July 21st is my daughter's Graduation Party and you can imagine how busy I will be for that. After the 21st my schedule opens up. I can fly down any time after that.

Well sounds like your way more connected than I am Dianne! I have yet to speak with Amy or Gerry because they are super busy with getting ready to film in two weeks. But I will start putting together some ideas of things to sign. Some ideas are a soccer ball (playing the field) , movie poster , soccer jersey , and whatever I can get from Olympus as well.

Awesome, absolutely awesome. I am now thinking about a date to come down to Shreveport. I'm thinking of the second week of August. If possible I would like an on set visit. I was an extra in Gerry's movie Machine Gun Preacher and I met Gerry briefly while he was in Detroit filming. I am a hopeless scrapbooker and I made a scrapbook from my experience and would dearly love to meet Gerry again and have him autograph it. I also would like to meet you. I will let you know when I have all the details arranged.

Hi Wade,
I would like to come to the set to see Gerry and pick up the Memorilbia August 2nd or 3rd. Do either of those days work?

Sounds good! Not sure of what the shooting schedule is yet this far ahead but I will try to find out. Did you make it down during Playing the Field?

No I didn't unfortunately... OK... then I will begin planning the trip.

Hi Wade, any inside information for my site. You still seeing Lolita in the office? Really looking forward to coming down.

Millennium Studios Production Services
Hey Dianne nothing yet really. I did speak with Amy and she asked me to get your contact info and the dates you would be visiting so she could set something up with Gerry! I will try to get some more inside info for u!
..
July 19
Dianne Hasse
Ok, I am coming with my daughter, August 1st to August 4th. I will be free August 2nd, or 3rd. Me and my daughter love little Lolita's pictures and we are really hoping we could some how see her too if that is possible? My daughter volunteers at Adopt a Pet at a local pet rescue.

Wade, I will be coming on set with JUST MY DAUGHTER but there are other gals coming from my web site. It is common for fans to wait a distance from the shooting hoping to catch a glimpse of Gerry and Gerry is usually nice enough to go out and sign autographs for them. Would it be possible for me to get a heads up (once I'm in Shreveport) so I can tell them where the set will be those 2 days we are there? The favor is actually for my members who I will be meeting in Shreveport. I only intend to come to the set the one day I'm invited and I will not be hanging around the set on the day I am not invited. I'd rather do some sight seeing and hang by the pool, but I know they will want to go to the shoot both days.

I will do my best Dianne. There have been strict rules put into place here lately I'm not exactly sure why , but visitors must now be cleared to be on set. I'm sure that Amy will be able to pull some strings for you. I will keep you posted!!
..
July 19
Dianne Hasse
Remember, it's just me and my daughter. The rest of the girls will be watching from a distance.
..
July 19
Millennium Studios Production Services
Yes I informed Amy it would be you and your daughter. Depending on where the set is that day will depend on where on lookers can be. I would say the best way to see him up close for the locals here would be to sign up to be an extra and then catch him at lunch break.

You know I saw the call for extras I'll let them know. Thanks Wade, great idea.

Great! Did you and Amy set something up?

Dianne Hasse
No not yet. She may be waiting until I get there. If you run into her ask her for me. I here the schedule for filming has been really tight and a lot of times they don't know whats going on until 24 hours before. That's the reason I gave the place I'm staying at. I figured she can always get me at the hotel as well.

I will try to get ahold of Alan today. I am usually at our property which is not the actual studios so I don't make it to set much.

Well it's almost 5:00 and I'm assuming that's about the time you go home for the day. I will try to check my facebook from my phone if you write me tomorrow. My plane leaves at 6:30 AM tomorrow and again my cell is ******* I should be at the hotel by at least 1:00 or 2:00 PM. Thanks Wade.
