ukgator

id be up for that one oh and not forgetting ally fraser aka bill paterson I would go with that - Auf Wiedersehen Pet is a classic Try and get BRIGITTE KAHN, LYSETTE ANTHONY, JULIA TOBIN as well plus Barry's tatiana lol

The man or the movie? Or wasnt in the movie, was he? IP Man is an important figure in the history of chinese kung fu methodology and was the master for Bruce Lee. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ip_Man He is a person of extreme high standing in China for his defiance against the Japanese during the occupation. I was talking martial arts and the latest chinese movies with James Pax as he is involved in many projects relative to Chinese history. IP Man and IP Man 2 were directed by Wilson Yip. James was initially a model with Armani before he turned his attention to acting starring in BTILC , Kinjite with Charles Bronson and Bethune with Donald Sutherland. He has directed a number of films like a Bowl of Fish, Passion Fruit and Last Tango. He was involved in a couple of historial film projects as well - Shanghai Junction and The First Emperor - the man who made China.

My experience of meeting James Pax was a positive one. My friend cybernator and myself had the pleasure of talking to James on the Saturday morning. He was approachable and willing to pose for pictures. We discussed IP Man and other martial arts movies along with BTILC. He is now a budding film director out in Beijing and we talked about his material like the First Emperor of China. He was even kind enough to pass me his business card and offer me a warm welcome should I ever visit Beijing. A total gentleman and a pleasure to meet. I personally think both of the storms have been great guests over here. So a big thumps up from me.

Absolutely echo Mr Timelord - reunions = SHARPE: SEAN BEAN ASSUMPTIA SERNA DARAGH O'MALLEY THE CHOSEN MEN LIZ HURLEY ) PETE POSTLEWAITE FLASH GORDON: SAM JONES TIMOTHY DALTON ORNELLA MUTI PETER DUNCAN BRIAN BLESSED MELODY ANDERSON You know it makes sense ..... Shame I am emigrating - lads will have to rig these in my absence

Big thank you to the cosplay characters - they were brilliant. You were fantastic as Jessica Rabbit. I saw you running through your photo poses at the front of the convention hall. Cosplay really makes the event for me along with the guests. Big kudos to the one and only Jessica Rabbit, Wonder Woman, Power Girl, The Flash, Batwoman and Batman, the Cylon, Catwoman, my old fav the Joker and Harley and Quin who were awesome. Cheers guys and girls we salute you!

I echo those sentiments ..... we lost 3 film/movie guests and these were not replaced really but that is how the cookie crumbles ..... ah well there will be other times I am sure.

LALO SCHIFFIRIN - Enter the Dragon and Dirty Harry

He has been in some of my favourite movies: TOMBSTONE, APOLLO 13 et all. Bring in this hero now SM !!!!

Agree - Assumptia Serna is a must too

Michelle Rodriguez would be an awesome addition. She would be a good Avatar replacement for Mr Lang. Make this happen and bring a smile to our faces

I agree with the count .... especially any veterans from the Malaya, Korea conflicts or even some of the guys involved the special forces actions in the Falklands and those involved in hostage situations like the Lufthansa jet. Would be some interesting stories there. Great shows and great actors and actresses. Those guests tick all the boxes for me. Great list ..... I had the pleasure of meeting Eli Wallach at the NFT a few years back when they had Western week and showed the full unedited version of the Good Bad and the Ugly on the big screen. He was a total gent

Thanks Dave I will remain positive and I love the cons for the atmosphere, cosplay, stalls and being with friends. It will still be a great day out. As this one is my last for a while as I am emigrating overseas I was hoping to go out with a bang lol I know you guys work hard trying to get guests in. Would love to be the fly on the wall lol I will miss these events when I am away but I hope to attend some when in town in the future. Keep the cult movie guests coming Dave as I can get my friends to sort my autos

Oh well seeing that the post "Dont worry there will be more guests to announce" has disappeared from the forum and the photoshoot and talk times have been released I can only imagine that is it regarding any future guest additions to this con. I am disappointed with the cancellations of Lang, Dun and Frakes and did not think these were aptly replaced like for like. I guess you cannot please everyone so in regards to this con for me it went from being something to look forward to to oh well Ill show face and see whats up. I live in hope a quality likewise surprise guest is in order.

Another movie guest bites the dust. Luckilly I have Kristanna Loken to see and like Cybernators comment it is not the end of the world. I do hope however that maybe some more cult movie guests are announced to compensate for the loss of Lang, Dun and Frakes. Saw Dolph Lundgren was in town on BBC Breakfast talking about the Expendibles. He would be an awesome guest. How about bringing back Carl Weathers as well.

I just hope SM are able to bring in someone to replace the calibre of the guests who cancelled (Frakes and Lang). Get in Ornella Muti !!!! At the moment as I am more of a movie buff the only guests I am seeing is Kristanna Loken. I will not be about for CML so I was gutted when Lang cancelled as I love the films he was in (TOMBSTONE, GETTYSBURG and GODS AND GENERALS). When I go to cons I like to meet the cult film guests and some of the TV too and any of the major guests who will be interesting to meet so I hope we get some more of these. Looking positively at it all - If not it will be a cheap one for me.

Andrew Robinson is a total gent and an interesting guy. His first ever film was Dirty Harry in which he starred as the Scorpio Killer. I remember meeting him at Collectormania MK last year and we had a good discussion about that movie. Tell you what I am tempted to get a photoshoot with Andrew. Dirty Harry is one of my favourite movies of all time.

If you want to meet Brian Blessed, this link might be of interest. Thanks mate will check that out.

How about Nana Visitor, jerri Ryan in place of Frakes Kurt Russell for Stephen Lang Ornella Muti please please please Timothy Dalton, Sam Jones, Brian Blessed. Get some classic Flash Gordon - absolute cult absolute classic material

Good to hear this Jason )))) I will keep my eye out for further announcements on here.

You e-mailed info@showmasters.com? I'm sorry, but then the reason you got no reply is that this is the wrong e-mail address. Kind of surprised you didn't get an error message. The office e-mail is info@showmastersonline.com, although this would be a question for the store. The store e-mail is info@collectormania.com Sorry I misquoted the email address. The one I used was info@showmastersonline.com. I know refunds are supposed to be automatic but my Temuera Morrison one did not show up on my last cc statement.

The transaction company take a cut of the money though, so to refund you the full amount costs Showmasters more. Transfering it to a different date avoids this charge. If 75% would then rebook anyway, money has been wasted. I have just forwarded SM an email advising them to refund me as I am one of the 25% who cannot make CM London !!!!

I have yet to receive a response from SM regarding refunding my CC for Temuera Morrisons cancelled photoshoot at Collectormania MK and now another cancellation to deal with. Please refund my cc as I will not be attending Collectormania London. I leave the UK to live in the US before this event. I agree with the previous message. SM should just refund everyone and if people want to book another Stephen Lang photoshoot for CM London they can do so via the online shop or at the event. I am disappointed by Stephen not being able to attend but understand this happens. I just want a response to my emails to info@showmasters.com regarding refunding these photoshoot cancellations on my card!!!!

Ohh and Hugo Weaving as I like him in many films from Bodyline right up to the Matrix and LOTR..... plus Mirando Otto and Cate Blanchet - bring it on SM ))))))

LOTR for me would have to be: Viggo Mortenssen, Sean Bean, Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Liv Tyler, Christopher Lee and Ian McKellen.

I think there are some interesting guests there ..... Viggo Mortenssen is a definate and also Sam Neill would be great. I loved that scene in Jurassic Park when he was discussing the talon of the velocelraptor lol Also would love to meet Ornella Mutti, Pheobe Cates, Charlotte Lewis, Loren Avendon, Jean Reno, Timothy Dalton, Tom Berenger, Cynthia Rothrock, Matthias Hues and Michael Quissi (Tong Po) from Kick Boxer
