Please bring back Premiere Magazine!!

I know a few years ago, Premiere magazine started going downhill, but before its subsequent end last year, it had gotten much better. In its prime it was a great movie magazine, the preeminent in the industry. I really notice its absence now more then ever for purely sentimental reasons (I used to watch the Oscars and check off all the winners in the nominations list that was included in the Oscar issue of Premiere.) They should bring this magazine back (they still have it other countries, just not the US - so it wouldn't be difficult to do.) are you listening Hachette Filipacchi?

I miss the print version, but at least there is some semblance of the magazine with the online version--as long as I can read Glenn Kenny's film reviews, I'm quite content (his blog is one of the finest erudite and entertaining discussions of film anywhere on the Internet).

Print magazines are having a very hard time nowadays, with reduced readership (especially subscriptions) and low ad revenue, so I've seen many a magazine resort to going online only.

Re: Please bring back Premiere Magazine!!

I read premiere from 1987-1997, and it was a good magazine, but in terms of widespread appeal, it will never match something like EW, which is much more accessible.

Premiere should have been (and when it was at its best was striving to be) the movie version of Rolling Stone. It never quite got there. It needed to cover culture, politics and the industry, but often concentrated on stories of power and deal-making. Also, its reviews were few and far between and were often out of date by the time of publication - at least in the magazine's first 10 years.
