'Mad Men' Season 7 Spoilers: Will Jon Hamm, Elisabeth Moss, John Slattery Discover "Fan Cut?" [WATCH]
AMC is asking viewers to put something special together ahead of the Season 7 premiere of Mad Men. Before audiences countdown to the series finale, will fans be able to re-create the magic of Don Draper (Jon Hamm), Peggy Olson (Elizabeth Moss), and Roger Sterling (John Slattery) in their "fan cut" trailer?
As we previously mentioned, in the first half of Mad Men's final season, the just-fired Don Draper (Hamm) was trying to get his job back. As Don faced struggles with his failing marriage with Megan (Jessica Paré) and opposition at work from Peggy (Moss) and Joan (Christina Hendricks), he doubts if the hard work is really what he actually wants. It took the death of Bertram Cooper (Robert Morse) to shake things and wake up Roger Sterling (Slattery) to save his failing ad agency.
According to Rolling Stone, AMC is letting fans recreate the original pilot. To celebrate the final episdoes, viewers will be able to shoot new versions of individual scenes, which will be compiled into a full episode. Aspiring filmmakers will have have 30 days to shoot and upload their video onto YouTube.
In the pilot, Peggy arrives to her first day as secretary at the advertising agency, Sterling Cooper. Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser) takes one look at Peggy and insults the way she looks. Little do they know, their boss, Don, is secretly having an affair from his wife and kids.
A group of judges will select the winners and announce their decision on May 6th. The winning entry will air this spring during the critically acclaimed period drama's seventh season.
