Latest Guest Announcement WILLIAM SHATNER

[Cher2a]

I just froze of shock with my mouth wide open and virtually cried for ten minutes straight!

Now I have my wits about me, I have one word:

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!

I loved him in the series, the film, AND his music. I simply LOVE his Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds and Common People covers. Pure genious! I hope that he can sign my CD - hehe.

Ps. I can't BELIEVE I missed this announcement - all FRELLING day! Lolz. How dopey is that?! I was frelling awake at 4am, posting on the Forum. HOW and WHY did I miss this?! Gese, that's the stupidest thing I've ever done (well, on the forum, at least)...

He's on MSPG now for £35, just in case anyone hadn't looked.

I already updated my thread

 

It does say on the MSPG site that it's only tentative (and not confirmed by SM) that he'll be £25 at the show though. It could be more!

865068[/snapback]

Just updated TT he is to be £25.

I know some people will say £25 is too much but considering how much he usually charges at your average US convention its a very good price and at 74 years old he might not be back over here again.

[DavidB]

Well seeing as Carrie Fisher was £25, I think Shatner's on the same level so justifiable £25.

"The Cher" isn't excited, but I am! Just a tinch

[Count Fooku]

No doubt before I was not coming now I most certainly am!

 

"I'm a rcok-et man"

 

Aaaaaah the inept hip swivelling!!

[Cathyvicki]

WOW!!! Well done SM! I wasnt gonna come to C8 but I just told my mum (who is an avid trekkie or whatever you call em!) about this and she is hassling me to get an auto for her!

"Whatever it is", is indeed a Trekkie. It's not an isult. It's a way of life Hehe.

Gestern Abend erreichte uns die Mitteilung von William Shatner, dass er dieses Jahr nicht zur Galileo7 kommen kann.

 

Er, wie jeder Schauspieler, den wir einladen, hat in seinem Vertrag eine Klausel, die es ihm ermöglicht, den Vertrag zu kündigen, falls er aus Arbeitsgründen nicht zu uns kommen kann. Bei Mr. Shatner war die Frist, den Vertrag zu kündigen, zwei Wochen vor der Con. Von diesem Recht hat er nun Gebrauch gemacht, da er, wie er sagte, erst wenige Tage vor unserer Con seinen Einsatzplan für "Boston Legal", seine aktuelle Serie, erhalten würde und so, wie es im Moment aussieht, nicht davon ausgehen kann, den Vertrag mit uns zu erfüllen.

 

Mr. Shatner entschied sich dafür, auf einer Convention in England ein flexibles Ein-Tages-Engagement anzunehmen, da er sich dort nicht vertraglich festlegen muß, ob und wann genau er dort erscheinen wird und er die gleiche Gage bekommt, die er bei uns für drei Tage erhalten hätte.

 

Der Versuch von uns, mit ihm eine tragbare Einigung für einen eintägigen Auftritt zu erzielen, schlug leider fehl. Wir wurden daher von ihm gestern davon in Kenntnis gesetzt, das Mr. Shatner dieses Jahr gar nicht nach Deutschland kommen wird.

 

Wir bedauern dies ausserordentlich, aber leider sind dies Dinge, die passieren können und jeder Convention schon passiert sind. Natürlich ist diese Situation äußerst ärgerlich, besonders weil es so kurz vor unserer Convention passiert und wir sehr wenig Zeit haben, für Ersatz zu sorgen. Wenn man Mr. Shatner als Hauptgast überhaupt ersetzen kann.

 

Wir sind mit vielen Agenten und Schauspielern in Kontakt, um diese Problematik zu lösen und werden Euch hier in den nächsten Tagen informieren, was wir als Ersatz auf die Beine stellen können.

 

Wir verstehen, wenn einige von Euch jetzt mehr als enttäucht sind, weil Mr. Shatner nicht kommen kann, auch wir haben uns sehr auf ihn gefreut, aber es gibt Dinge, die sich unserem Einfluß entziehen, Dinge, die wir nicht ändern können, Dinge, mit denen jetzt umgehen müssen.

[MARTYB]

Awesome. Showmasters!

Oops sorry sweetie bit of a faux pas there I know! My Mum doesnt like me dissing the 'Trek either! Sorry!

[dodgytrotter]

this is a fantastic guest SM! I am not a "trekkie," but a fan from afar! I hope i don't get there late and miss out on him! This is gonna be great!!!

You have to love Babel Fish. I haven't cleaned up the grammar so make of it what you will

 

 

Yesterday evening reached us the report of William Shatner that it cannot come this year to the <event name>. It, how each actor, whom we invite, has a clause, which makes it for it possible to quit the contract in his contract if it cannot come from work reasons to us. With Mr. Shatner was the period to quit the contract two weeks before the Con. of this right it now for use made, since he said, as he, only few days before our Con his plan of application for "Boston legal", his current series, one received and, as it looks for the moment, not to assume that in such a way can to fulfill the contract with us. Mr. Shatner decided to accept on a Convention in England a flexible in daily commitment since it does not have to commit itself there contractually whether and when exactly he will appear there and he gets the same fee, which he would have received with us for three days. The attempt of us to obtain with it a portable agreement for an one-day appearance unfortunately failed. We were informed therefore by him yesterday of which will not come at all Mr. Shatner this year to Germany. We regret this extraordinarily, but unfortunately are this things, which can happen and already happened to each Convention. Naturally this situation is extremely annoying, particularly because it so briefly before our Convention happened and we have very little time to provide for replacement. If one can replace Mr. Shatner as a main guest at all. We are with many agents and actors in contact to solve over this problem and you here in the next days will inform, what we as replacement on the legs to place to be able. We understand, if some of you more than are now enttaeucht, because Mr. Shatner cannot come, also we have themselves very much on it been pleased, but it gives things, which our influence to extract itself, things, which we not to change to be able, things, with which now must deal.

Beat me to it Rich! Read it twice!

[Cher2a]

Yesterday evening reached us the communication of William Shatner that it cannot come this year to the GALILEO7. 

 

He, how each actor whom we invite, has in its contract a clause that enables it it to give notice the contract if he cannot come out of working reason to us.  In Mr. Shatner, the time period was, to give notice the contract, two weeks before the Con.  It made would become now use because it said, how it, first a few days before our Con its plan of action for "Boston legal", its current series by this right, received would become and go out can so how it looks in the moment, not therefrom to fulfill the contract with us. 

 

Mr. Shatner decided for that to suppose a flexible on a Convention in England a-day-engagement because he not contractually must determine himself there, whether and when exactly he will appear there and he gets the same salary, that he would have received here for three days. 

 

The attempt of us to obtain a portable unification with it for an one-day entrance, failed unfortunately.  We were set therefore of it therefrom yesterday in knowledge, that will come Mr. Shatner this year not at all to Germany. 

 

We regret are this extraordinarily, but unfortunately this things that can happen and already happened each Convention.  This situation is natural extremely annoying, especially because it happens so shortly before our Convention and we have very little time to worry for replacement.  If one can replace Mr. Shatner as a head guest generally. 

 

We are inform with many agents and actors in contact in order to solve and to become this problematic nature you here in the next days, what we can place as a replacement on the legs. 

 

We do not understand if some of you are now more than an enttäucht, because Mr. Shatner come can, also we looked very forward to it, but give it things that withdraw itself our influence, things that we cannot change, things with which now go around must.

Rearrange a few words, and you get the general gist. ######.

This is a bit worrying tho isnt it! What if he only turns up for like 2 hours on Saturday and then buggers off!

Even worse he could do a Val Kilmer, but I reckon he'll turn up.

Anyone speak German here?

A bit. And between that and babelfish.altvista.com, you basically get something like:

 

Found out last night that Shatner can't make Gallileo7. Every actor has a clause in their contract allowing them to cancel for work reasons. He got his shooting schedule for "Boston Legal" a few days ago and it doesn't look like he can fulfil his obligations with us. Mr. Shatner decided to accept an invite to a Convention in England which is flexible in commitmentterms as he does not have to commit himself there contractually when exactly he will appear there and he gets the same fee, which he would have received with us for three days. We tried to arrange a contract for a one-day appearance but unfortunately that failed. We were therefore informed by him yesterday that he won't be coming to Germany this year. We deeply regret this, but unfortunately these things can and do happen. Naturally this situation is extremely annoying, especially this close to the convention and we have very little time to arrange a replacement, if indeed one can replace Mr. Shatner as a main guest at all. We are in contact with many agents and actors in an attempt to solve this problem and we'll keep you posted. We understand, if some of you are distraught because Mr. Shatner cannot come, because we're rather upset too, but these things happen, and since we can't control them we have to just try to deal with them.

 

 

OK, it ain't precision or anything, but I think you get the gist
