Oct, 07, 2008 Merav asked:
Q: hi!
first. i must say that i just LOVE this trilogy and megan follows!
is the new movie will also be played with the same cast? thanks!
A: We’re glad you enjoyed the trilogy! Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning has a few actors returning to reprise their roles, but the main characters have been recast. This film takes place before and long after the original trilogy, which results in the original cast being the wrong age.
Screen legend Shirley MacLaine teams up with Barbara Hershey and Rachel Blanchard in the new film. These stars are supplemented by the young Hannah Endicott-Douglas who plays Anne Shirley before she arrives at Green Gables.

Q: How do you pronounce Megan Follows name? Is is Mee-gan or just regular Megan? Is she a true Canadian? Where was the movie filmed?
A: Megan Follows is pronounced Meee-gan, and she is Canadian through and through. Sullivan Entertainment thought it was important to have a Canadian play the iconic role of a young Anne Shirley. Anne of Green Gables was shot both in PEI and around the Toronto area.

Sep, 23, 2008 Annegirlm asked:
Q: Why did Mr. Sullivan decide make a prequal? Why not "add on" to the Anne movies. (aka Anne's House of Dreams, Anne of Ingleside, ect) Because in the last movie (Anne 3) Anne and Gilbert say there are moving to Glen St. Mary.
A: Although Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning is often referred to as a prequel, it in fact is both a sequel and a prequel that bookends the original Anne trilogy. The film features an older Anne Shirley reminiscing about her life before she arrived at Green Gables.

Sep, 23, 2008 Cathy asked:
Q: Hi there,
was wondering what ever happened to the Beyond Green Gables on-line magazine?
thanks :O)
A: The Beyond Green Gables online magazine was full of features, movie reviews, information about actors, games and much more. However, in late 2007 the magazine went on hiatus as Sullivan Entertainment focused on other projects.
Sullivan Entertainment still firmly believes in projects that promote an Anne lifestyle, and will continue to release similar content. Whether that is in the form of a revised online magazine or not remains to be seen.
Sep, 18, 2008 Meg asked:
Q: Why did Kevin Sullivan decide to do a prequel now?
A: The very genesis of Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning evolved from the fact that fans of Sullivan’s original Trilogy of Anne films began contacting him wondering whether he planned a further movie installment for the book’s 100th anniversary.
Aficionados of his movies played a major part in this new story being brought to life. In a recent interview, Sullivan talked about how, “fans of the original three films began submitting story ideas online to me, in hopes of my creating a new film for the landmark year.”
Anne enthusiasts have built a strong online community that holds conventions biannually, called AVCON, which congregate in Toronto to celebrate Sullivan’s Road to Avonlea tv series, the Anne films and other Sullivan productions. The online interest in a new Anne picture became such a phenomenon that Sullivan couldn’t help but take notice.
