Eventbrite has the tickets listed for the "big announcement guest" - it IS who many people were expecting lol
-
For me, an American 'of a certain age,' this is a great announcement
Just like Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead is now, watching ER every Thursday was a MUST!-

Can I get a Gold Pass?
Lol, how much are entry tickets!!screw this...
im going on minecraft to make my own convention!!!!!!!!
entry is free, autographs will vary depending on the guest.
gold passes (which include 3 free autographs OR 3 free photoshoots of your choice) cost £200 but allow you to join any queue instead of having to have a virtual ticket. you also get access to the executive bathrooms and the VIP lounge.
Where have you gotten the idea that entry is free?

I was just saying on FB it may not be an actor but a director or even an author then:
STEPHEN KING popped into my head, but I don't imagine he'll be a world first signer. I'd love to meet him though!
Oh that would be brilliant, but he has signed in the past.....
-
I was thinking, we had Mike Tyson the other year. What if this big announcement isn't an actor. How about Mohamed Ali?
I think this is one of the best guesses so far - it fits in so many ways.....However, I think he's done signings.......The guy is seriously ill and can't walk or talk,and needs 24 hour care, you really think he'd be doing a convention
Same thing with Macnee or Curry.......
Would love to have had a chance to meet Tim Curry......

Harrison Ford was involved in a plane crash recently and is still rehabilitating - that hasn't stopped half a hundred people from guessing he'll be announced lol
I still think, based on what Jason said in the original post, that it was a really good guess. Other than the 'you'd be able to get a multi-signed item completed' bit, Ali fits the criteria (plus, he has the connection to Parkinsons, which this con is raising money for). It won't be Ali, due to his health issues, but at least he fits the profile, unlike several of the names that have been thrown out over the last 44 pages

I don't think they have responded since making the announcement.....I agree. I also agree that yes it is annoying sseeing the same names being suggested page after page but when a thread is as active as ones like this you can't hope to keep up. I haven't even seen SM's replies because I don't have the time to read through it all.
They have only responded to confirm that the price would be released at the same time as the guest announcement and to reiterate that this really is a one time opportunity
Oh yeah......I can't tell who is "Showmasters" and who is a forum moderator lol
Jason has posted a few times since his first post :)
To be honest, I tend to just look at what the response is, not who makes it lol
-
I think as this is a world's first signing, it is going to be a British actor. Maybe Iain Mckellen?
He's attended some cons; not sure if it's just been as a panel guest or if he's actually done signings.

That being said I do think it is someone of an elder generation and these are just some of the list I would sell my left kidney to meet:
(Though I have no knowledge of their signing history and I have read the whole thread, gladfully and having been greatfully entertained so apologise if I've forgotten some have been mentioned again..)
Morgan Freeman,
Max von Sydow,
Angela Lansbury,
James Earl Jones,
Sidney Poitier,
Christopher Plummer &
Gene Hackman.
There are a tonne of others and we only have just over a day left to find out... lets get a countdown clock going.
Sadly, although we might consider these actors "legends" and "A-list" guests, there are many on the forum who wouldn't have a clue who they are
...Then again, when the Power Ranger announcements were made, I was like, "Who?" 
Guess it's a generational thing lol -
I agree. This is a huge post that would take ages to read from start to finish.That's a tiny bit harsh Robert. This thread is really too long now to read from the first to last post.
Some people are saying it's annoying when guests are suggested who don't fit or have been mentioned a few times since someone has already said they've done signings. These people say it's a waste of their time having to read the same guest's name over and over again.
However, I say just either ignore them or be considerate of the fact that some people don't have time to sit and scroll through hundreds of posts. Also, some people aren't familiar with the signing histories of every celebrity.
In actual fact, reading 'Harrison Ford?' takes a lot less time than reading the responses of people saying how annoying it is, that it's a waste of their time and that everyone should read through the hundreds of posts before posting themselves. The blunt, inconsiderate responses are an even greater waste of time, and they are just adding to the problem.
I don't mean to start anything, I just think people could/should be more considerate towards others.
Interesting how my remark seems to be the rudest thing ever said, while saying something like: "I don't feel like reading what everyone else says" is not.
If you aren't interested in what other people say, why should we be interested in what you say? That seems inconsiderate to me.
But, from the responses here, I must be wrong. So I deeply apologise to anyone who feels offended in some way.
You aren't wrong; you were blunt and to the point, but it wasn't rude. Some people have chosen to interpret it that way, but you can't control how other people react. After 40 pages of comments, it would be nice to see a few "new" names being mentioned lol
-
I can't be bothered to read through again so these might have been mentioned before:
Ryan Reynolds
Chris Hemsworth
Tom Hiddleston
Old school:
Warren Beatty
Faye Dunaway
I'm just throwing names around now
1 day, 6 hours and counting ........Please be Ford, Eastwood or Neeson
Ooooh, Hiddleston....... :::

People are free to guess whoever they want. It really doesn't matter if it's been said before. It's not going to kill people to read the same guess again.
None of it is worth arguing over so please let's just keep things civil on here. It's just a guest announcement.
If it was 'just a guest announcement,' people wouldn't be getting so wound up about it...

I understand what you're saying. But if you, for whatever reason, haven't read a thread and come up with a suggestion then I think you should be prepared for someone to tell you that this has been suggested and debunked already. I do agree that there have been some rude and unnecessary responses, but if you're not putting the effort into reading everything you should expect a response.

What you're saying is it's fine to annoy the people who have read this thread but not those who've just joined and ignored what's come before. There needs to be a balance, that's why a simple "they have been suggested, and have signed somewhere before" is all that is needed.
Let's play nice people!
Also, using the Google to at least try to find out if the person you are suggesting has attended / signed at a con wouldn't really take much time and would cut down on the number of repeat guesses......

It's definitely JJ Abrams, it says if you have a multi signed item now is your only chance, meaning now you can add his autograph to your starwars posters
Forgive me if I step on toes here, but I'm curious as to why someone would want to add JJ Abrams's signature to Star Wars posters that have already been signed by other cast members? I can understand if it was Star Trek, but not Star Wars, as JJ wasn't connected to Eps I-VI. That would be like me wanting Frank Oz to sign my Ep IV poster when Yoda wasn't in A New Hope. If I were a 'poster purist,' I would only want signatures on it from people who were connected to that film.....
Maybe I've missed something and some teaser posters for Ep VII have been released? Pinhead1987 could be suggesting that JJ could be the first signature on a potentially multi-signed item?

If people are sick of this thread I would suggest staying out of it? SM aren't going to announce a guest early just because people are getting stressed out over nothing. I'll never understand what the big deal is.
It's all the hype connected to this announcement: it happens every time SM says that a 'huge announcement' is forthcoming. Days upon days, page upon page of guesses, some logical and considered, others not so much......I'm sure those of us who have been around for awhile know that SM will do things in their own time.....

Show masters should have held a fun little comp. Every one has a guess at the guest. Then, if a person is right when the say on Thursday, they could get a free pass, autograph or some thing.
Who ever it will be, it's going to please a lot of people. I know hope it's not micheal j fox as I have just spent my last money on a car. X
I can see an easy way to get around "paying out" if someone guesses correctly..... lol

It is impossible to guarantee a personalisation, even with a guest signing very limited numbers. Yes, it would be nice to have certainty. I totally agree with you there. But in this case it's not possible.
What should be done if something happens and the guest has to stop personalising? For example there was one guest one show who was absent half day because of a family emergency. Or what if the guest doesn't make it through even the limited number cause they are chatty? "Oh, please leave your posters with us, we'll get them returned to you later." That would be an option people wouldn't like either.
This can still happen. And it works the other way round too. Perhaps the guest wants to personalize everything, because he doesn't want stuff to end up on eBay. That would disappoint a lot of people as well.
I know this is all common practice at events like this, but it is still strange. Imagine buying a car and asking if a radio is included, only to hear: "We don't know yet. It all depends on whether there's time on the assembly line to put one in. You'll just have to wait upon delivery to be sure."
I prefer to get things personalised if possible; I have no intention of selling the autographs on Ebay because the ones I get are meaningful to me in some way. If a guest doesn't do personalisations, no biggie....

To follow up from Stan Lee's appearance last year, what about Steve Ditko? Co-creator of Spider-Man & Doctor Strange?
-
Frank Oz would be good 😀
-
This may sound crazy, but I'm guessing Lady Gaga: she's starring in American Horror Story next series, and Naomi and Erika are already attending; she's definitely NOT someone we'd be expecting; she hasn't done a con before so far as I know; she would be considered an "A-lister" in some circles; and, even if someone isn't a fan, they will have heard of her. 😀

But she has done cons; Jason has said it's someone who's not done a signing before.I'm guessing Amy Jo Johnson ( the original Pink Power ranger) ... think about it ..... JDF finally comes so now they've got Amy .... as shge very rearly does cons...
warning everyone Very BIG guest announcement on Thursday the 16th
in London Film and Comic Con 2015
Posted
They let us spend a week speculating who it could be, because they said it wouldn't be who we would expect it to be.......Did they really need to wait a week to make this announcement?
