nicky Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) In the past cons that SM have had we've had official reunions for; Red Dwarf Blake's 7 Star Wars OT Alien Quadrilogy Star Wars PT What all these have in common is that they are/were all part of an on-going series. The pattern suggests that SM only consider franchises or serials as candidates for reunions. It would seem that SM favours these cos they have a larger fanbase than say just a one-off movie and there is a greater chance of them getting multiple guests spread out over several films/shows rather than from just one film. The bad thing about this is that it limits what reunions (for films anyway) we can have but I still reckon there'll be a Quantum Leap or Battlestar Gallactica one. This is what I suspect...don't take it as truth, it's just what I think and I don't necessarily think it should be this way either.

Moderators DavidB Posted November 24, 2004 Moderators Share Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) Well ... Red Dwarf has been popular for a long time in this country, and a lot of the cast are regulars on the con circuit so it wasn't that hard to put together. Blake's 7 I believe Jason SM is a fan of, and thought it'd be a cool thing to do. And I think the series was first released on dvd around that time too. And when ya come to the last three ... they're all kinda tied in to releases ... SW dvd, A vs P, and SW Ep3. So, perhaps if there's anything happening around LFACC3 time then we'll get something like that ... Edited November 24, 2004 by DavidB6937 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfy_sah Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I wouldn't class Red Dwarf as on going as there's been nothing since s8 a few years back, though plenty of rumours for s9 / movie same for SW OT, how is this on going?! dvd release aye but it's not on going as such lastly SW PT, have I missed the OFFICIAL mention of this?! it doens't mention it on the main CM website and I don't recall seeing it on the flyer from LFACC2.... though when I saw that kid on the front I didn't take one just my thoughts surfy sah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) What all these have in common is that they are/were all part of an on-going series. Sah, it says in the quote that they are/were on-going (at one point or another). By "on-going" I was trying to highlight that they were more than just a one-off or stand-alone thing. And yes the Star Wars PT was on the flyer I think. Edited November 24, 2004 by nicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Black Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 lord of the rings - a trilogy. therefore a series. yet it has been heavily flamed that there should not be a reunion for this, and that it must be forgotten as being history (despite ROTK not having its final release yet, it is considered by some on this forum as being dead and gone already.) does this mean we LOTR fans might get a reunion soon please? :lol: though i hate to think of the crowds... those who think its dead may want to stay away so you aren't truly disillusioned as to public opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes the Star Wars PT was on the flyer I think. i suppose on-going would be easier though to also find a considerable fan-base for - afterall, charachters have to be developed more fully, therefore ppl love/hate charachters more than in a stand-alone... just a thought, of course.

nicky Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 does this mean we LOTR fans might get a reunion soon please? LOTR guests show up quite often anyway and I think it could be a bit soon for an official reunion. SM will probably do this at one stage though I suspect, but will wait until the dust settles some more like a year or so after ROTK extended dvd.

Bohan Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 It's this simple - A reunion is arranged to bring togethor the people who were part of a movie /tv show which has now since ended. I don't think it matters if the reuinion focuses on one movie instead of the whole series. I meen originaly LFACC was only going to have an Aliens reunion, it then turnt into an Alien Quadrilogy reunion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought they changed that cos they couldn't get enough people that were originally on their "get-list". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodas'stuntman Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Ive got the flyer and it doesnt say anything bout a SW Prequel Re union am i going mad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 (edited) You have a flyer. There were two; one for C6 and the other for LFCC3... If you look at the C6 home page you'll see that Temuera Morrison and Daniel Logan are confirmed guests. Obviously this is the one for the PT reunion.

freddyfan Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I'd love a nightmare on elm street reunion. I'd like to meet Lisa Wilcox, the girl who played Alice in The dream master and The dream child. And I'd also like to meet Robert Englund again.

GoldenGreen Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 It would be nice to see something a bit different re-union wise, so perhaps it is time for a Horror one, either the Nightmare on Elm Street films, or the Halloween movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quigon Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I'm not fussy, but can we have something other than a Sci-fi reunion, I'm getting fed up with it. Only Fools and Horses. A few of them have done some events, but I think SM have the power to get all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
