Today, Atom.com and Olivia Munn are happy to announce that "Galaxy News" has been crowned the contest winner. Independent producers Randall Coombs, Dash Hawkins and Libby Wells have won a $5,000 development deal from Atom.com and will go into production on "Galaxy News" this fall. Munn will star in "Galaxy News" as the host of this news show set in the Star Wars universe.
Check out the Operation Olivia website to see Olivia's announcement, the winning video pitch, other contest entries (many of them highly entertaining), and a production blog from the "Galaxy News" crew.
"I've been in love with Star Wars from the first time I watched it and ran home to put buns in my hair and make my little brother play R2-D2," said Olivia. "And I'm so excited to make my very first fan film with people who truly love it as much as I do. I just pray for no more Slave Leia outfits... it is not a comfortable slave outfit."
"Operation Olivia gave fans and content creators an incredible opportunity to interact with and even work with one of their idols," said Atom GM Scott Roesch. "We are grateful to Olivia for bringing this contest to life, and we're looking forward to her collaboration with Randall, Dash, and Libby -- 'Galaxy News' should be a Star Wars fan film for the ages!"
