Like so many have said, is there anyway to get a mark on the guests listed as who have already confirmed for definite attendance next month please? It would be most helpful for us to plan our weekend if we know who has reconfirmed appearing at the event.

Ed Sheeran

Latest addition to my Classic Who collection - Michael Jayston as The Valeyard

The communication has been so awful nobody knows if they are false advertising or not. I'm not sure even SM know. At the moment it'll just be a fun surprise to see who actually turns up. Or not so fun.

Sir Elton John

John Carpenter Apostolica

Sir Alan John!

Pre orders from the recent film fair. Phil Rose, Peter Straker, Brian Croucher and Derek Lyons. Although, Brian has signed surname first.

Which obscure hardcore thrash metal band is he in?

Konrad Sheeham. Rollerskating Punk in the movie The Warriors.

NO TIME TO DIE Speaking as a true Bond fan; I loved it. It had all the wit and suave you'd expect from a Bond movie, bur also great actions sequences. I loved the personal journey Craig's Bond has taken these past years. A worthy finish of the Daniel Craig era. And once again, great music, cool tribute to 'On Her Majesties Secret Service'. I didn't see that coming. Well done again mister Zimmer.

Sir David Attenborough Frazer Hines

Just updating that my Felicity Jones autograph arrived special delivery today, I hope others have received theirs. All good

SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS It was a cool movie, great actions sequences (as we expect from Marvel movies). Great new actors and actresses were introduced to the wider world. It felt a lot like a fantasy movie and not really a superhero movie though.

DUNE I very much enjoyed Dune, great cinematography, beautiful music(Hans Zimmer duh) and great story line. Well done filming, mister Villeneuve. Great acting and also some surprise actors who showed up. Let's hope they're not making 8 movies though.

As we get closer to the events, we start to book flights and work out the logistics for each guest to make their way to join us. It’s at this point that if there is an issue for the guest to attend it comes up. Some things we can change to ensure the guest can still make their appearance, such as flight in from another city or to cut down the days at the event. For some guests, there may be a concern over Covid and we can put practices in place to make them feel safe. These things all tend to come up around two to three weeks before the event and this year it’s no different in that regard, however the concerns over Covid have created some additional challenges. Most guests are fine and travel has been booked, but there are a few that are filming, and as such the production has asked the guest not to travel or go to a public event until filming has finished, which is stopping some of them from attending. We have back up plans in place so if a guest cannot attend, we can reach out to some guests we have begun to plan for 2022 and ask them to attend this year's event. We wanted to let you all know that we are working hard to bring you all of the guests we have contracted and confirmed to attend but this year it is going to affect some of the guests in this way and as such, we will be looking to replace any cancellations or reschedules with a different guest so that we have a full line up of guests that are looking forward to attending. So far, there are a few guests we are either helping to make this year's appearance still possible, or we are negotiating with them attending a future event, so please bear with us as we work through all the options. This allows us to update you all properly with the facts and when the options have been talked over with the guests themselves and, when applicable, their agents. We want to be transparent with you all, we will have an amazing line up for LFCC, regardless if some of the guests have to change or not. We feel that over the next 7 days or so we will be close to our full line up. This year has been tough for everyone, but we will 100% deliver the events you love and expect from us over the past 30 years. There will be some rare and new guests attending, so be sure to keep an eye out for these announcements as we get closer to the dates of the show as we have lots of offers out with some great guests! We are only expecting this to impact a few guests, but we felt it was important to share the facts with you all and to be transparent. There’s not long now until London Film & Comic Con makes it’s return and we are so looking forward to seeing you all and the incredible line up we have in store for you! Jason and the Showmasters team.

So we're getting a copied and pasted response that doesn't really help much in the way of working out who still is/isn't attending. I understand there's a lot of work to do but you guys used to be great at at least responding to people's concerns. I miss that.

I'm sure it was, for the briefest of moments. I wish you'd experienced it yourself.

I thought the same

Remember those couple of weeks when there were some new mods on here to help people? That was nice wasn’t it. I wonder what happened to those guys?

Basically no. They said they will still be honoured though so I'm hoping they have a plan in place for when they are scanned and possibly come up invalid due to the date. Interestingly the entry tickets have updated to show the new dates, but my DP hasn't. I was assuming it's the same for everyone though, or that it was because my DP guest hasn't reconfirmed. It may be that the photo/dp's will update between now and then if SM tell Eventbrite to update them, but that's a guess.

Ain't that the truth. It's been terrible. I've had my issues with showmasters in the past when it comes to how they advertise stuff but at least they did talk to their customers and fan base. Nowadays there's no communication and it's very disappointing. Surely people would be more angry if they spent cash on photo ops, diamond passes etc, only to get told at the event that the guest isn't attending than if they got told weeks or months in advance. Ive got a family member attending her first big con and is absolutely buzzing to meet some of the guests and get photo ops with them (which she's already got booked) if we get to the event and they aren't there she's going to be crushed.

@JamesyD Hi, any updates from the office for this, mate?

Hopefully soon AckAck, the main website hasn't been updated with a new Hitchikers guest who'd been announced last week

Elton's less well known brother

your not alone im in the same boat

No Time To Die was a good addition to the franchise with enough action and Bond moments to please fans. It was much more drawn out than it needed to be but a good finale from Daniel Craig.

Not heard of him confirming elsewhere yet, best send an email through to SM to ask.

Best place to check is probably SM’s FB page, this place is pretty much a tertiary concern nowadays...

Evan Rachel Wood (Westworld, True Blood, The Wrestler, Mildred Pierce & Thirteen) Jack Plotnick (Z Nation, Reno 911, Drawn Together, Buffy, The Mentalist & Joan of Arcadia) Robin Tunney (The Mentalist, Prison Break, The Fix, The Craft & End of Days) Larry Bagby (Hocus Pocus, Young & Restless & Buffy) Lindy Booth (The Librarians, Kick Ass 2, Dawn of the Dead, 4400, Relic Hunter & Cry Wolf) Rachel Bilson (Hart of Dixie, The O.C., Chuck, Jumper, Nashville, Take Two & How I Met Your Mother)

I attended a con in germany 2 weeks ago, only vaccinated or recovered persons/visitors were allowed, and there was no glass. The photoshoots happend in a secured spot on the outside of the con building. Guests were happy, customers were happy, no masks while taking the pic and a few hugs where shared.
