 This amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A (“8-K/A”) is being filed to amend the Report on Form 8-K regarding a change in certifying accountant filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 4, 2008 (“Original 8-K”), to include that there were no disagreements, resolved or not, between Stratus Media Group, Inc. (“Company”) and Gruber & Company, LLC (“Gruber”) on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or audit scope and procedures between January 1, 2008 and July 30, 2008, which was the date of Gruber’s dismissal as the principal independent accountant for the Company. Gruber was replaced by Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin LLP.

Except for the added disclosure that there were no disputes with Gruber through the date of their dismissal and the attached letter from Gruber reflecting the same, this 8-K/A does not amend or update any other information contained in the Original 8-K.

The Company provided Gruber with a copy of this 8-K/A prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and requested that they furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether they agree with the statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and if not, stating the aspects with which they do not agree. A copy of the letter provided from Gruber, dated October 6, 2008, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
