swan Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Well I would steer clear of Elijah Wood, he isn't so reliable these days, having just cancelled Ring Con in Fulda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sazzra Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 It's not a case of being reliable or not, it's a case of work commitments - promoting a film which is ultimately his job and why you'd pay to see him at another show. All of these conventions have the caveat of 'subject to work' on them, including Showmasters, it's just one of those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijah44 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Well I would steer clear of Elijah Wood, he isn't so reliable these days, having just cancelled Ring Con in Fulda. Elijah didnt mean to cancel, he would never mean to upset any fans. he has just finished working of the voice of a penguin in the film happy feet. he is doing another film called paris je t'aime, bobby and day zero. Day zero is out next year and the other two im not sure about. so he has alot of films he is working on thats most probally why he canceled, but im sure he didnt mean any harm by it. And if you live in the uk he will defenatly come back one day as at the end on london film and comic con 06 he said to everyone "i will definatly be back in the uk some time so don't worry" i didnt hear him say that but i read a diary of london film and comic con and it was wrote in there. where as other places around the world he will be aswell:) just though id let you know :) sarah x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of these conventions have the caveat of 'subject to work' on them, including Showmasters, it's just one of those things. Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever! Why be confirmed a year in advance! Oh I know... to get people to book. I've learned my lesson! I can't beleive I'm actually wasting my time to comment on this but as I have said time and time again, if anyone books an event like RING*CON just to see an actor talk on stage or to get an autograph, there's a problem there. Why did we book him a year in advance? So that "WE" could be put on "HIS" schedule ahead of anyone else who wanted to have him for their on puposes. Sounds like smart strategy to me now doesn't it. I've worked with over 500 celebrities, numerous convention organizations and had my own knock down drag out fights with agents over 20 years to have become experienced enough in this business to know how much "people" mean to "people". Disappointment is rampant in life and the best thing to do is to get used to it. If hopes are high, good for you. I wish everyone on this rock felt the same way everyday but reality kicks in and common sense is our co-pilot. Every wonder why WORKING actors do conventions? It "AIN'T" for the money so if any of our guests have to cancel, you can believe it's for a very good reason but not to slight the fans. In fact, you should feel happy that your favorite celeb remains in the limelight furthering his/her career. RING*CON's reputation is DEFINITELY NOT from the actors we get. It's many reasons (too many to name) and we continue to rock the house even after a few cancellations in the past. In fact, I think last year was our best and we had 3 cancellations! Blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda. Why am I wasting my time explaining such common sense issues. I'm sorry swan. I don't mean to be mean but the word "fan" was derived from the term "fanatic". Now look that up. I understand basic disappointments but to be harsh, nasty, critical, or downright out of line towards any convention promoter (our friends at SHOWMASTER included), any actor, or any act of God for the sheer reason that you cannot belly up next to your favorite person in life has been commented on in many medical journals. These celebs love us but they are more than aware of the ones whom day is ruined because of something like a cancellation and believe me, I've heard many comments from a bevy of celebs. Some of those comments you wouldn't like. We try our best, as unappreciative as it is sometimes, and still get the shaft handed to us for things we try to do to make fandom joyous! As a "standing" bulls eye on every RING*CON stage, how do you think I feel having to explain to a mass crowd of why a certain invited guest is not here? Some of them won't beleive it, accept it, tolerate it or understand it. It boggles the mind to know that "I can't make it" translates to "F&*%# You" in the minds of the scarey ones out there! And they DO exist!!! Try to read again what I have written and understand the obvious logic it dictates. I really hope to see you at RING*CON because I'm a lot nicer in person than the exorcism I am experiencing now. Come say hello to me and please allow me to buy you a drink. <rant mode off> Edited September 27, 2006 by FEDCON MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swan Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Hello Mr another show MC Nothing will stop me from going to Ring Con, I have flights booked, hotel booked, tickets booked etc etc. But I have to admit that I did book because Elijah was going, if he hadn't been going then I wouldn't have booked... Germany is a long way away from me. But at the end of the day it's about getting together with my friends... who also booked because Elijah was going. Yes Elijah has that draw for us, and I promise you we are not crazy fanatics, just loyal fans. I guess my previous entry was little harsh because I will be getting together with friends who had booked to see Elijah at ELF and were disappointed when he cancelled, they were relieved that at least they had Ring Con. I myself had a fab time at Comicon in July, so meeting Elijah again has dropped down on my priority list. Like I said... I'm going to be with my friends. It will be my first Ring Con... in a foreign country which freaks the life out of me because I don't speak the language, just getting there is going to be stressfull. Ring Con comes to the UK next year, but be wary that if you do book Elijah, because of his two recent cancellations he may not be as big a draw as in the past, people will be wary to book if they are only going for him. I'm cool about it Mr another show MC... sorry I sent you on a rant, didn't mean to. And I will definitely look out for you in Fulda. All the best.

Goldentree Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Like I said... I'm going to be with my friends. It will be my first Ring Con... in a foreign country which freaks the life out of me because I don't speak the language, just getting there is going to be stressfull. Hi Swan, don't worry, most Germans speak English, as our MC can attest. The very same MC who is constantly teased that even after 111 years he won't be able to communicate in German. Be prepared for a wild journey to Middle-earth. Ring*Con doesn't has the likes of it, believe me. You'll soon forget that Elijah won't come, trust me! And as the Lexi*Con is also linked on www.ringconuk.co.uk, I suggest you'll have a look at it, read the interviews, the reports, and feel free to ask whatever question comes to mind. You'll find the Lexi*Con in English here: Lexi*Con We're not finished with the translation of the encyclopedia itself, but our translators are working on it, and a good part of the terms are already online. Hope that'll help Goldentree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it - all those girlies screaming for him would simply destroy Ring*Con. In addition, I don't think that he's financiable. I would love to see Viggo, but I he hasn't done any cons so far, so I don't think he's interested. I would like to see a good mixture of guests. As we have experienced at another show, it's almost always the "small" guests who are great on stage. Lori Dungey and Thomas Robins, Mana Hira Davis and Jonathan Harding, or Mana, Shane Rangi and Jed Brophy. Mark Fergusons's shows are fantastic, and the Parkers are always worth inviting. Though, to me, not absolutely necessary, but there'll be quite a couple of people with a different point of view. All in all, I hope there'll be a good mixture of guests. And personally, I think that it's always very interesting to get a couple of guests who filmed lots of scenes together, because their interaction, on and off stage, is always terrific.

I'll agree with you on the Orli front, he's way too pretty er... big at the moment ...Viggo, not as sure as you are about how unaccessable he might be, but would be a great guest notheless ( better than Orli in my opinion). The Parkers... great at TFF, they were obviously the MCs for the show, since you already have that role filled at Ring Con, I can see your point, but Everyone loved the Parkers at TFF, so why not :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandinsChick Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 (edited) It's just no good getting "big" names because it brings the wrong sort of people to an event. Don't get me wrong here but I am a die hard Tolkien fan, so far as I go to say that I am a fan of the books and the films are just a bonus, and you get all sorts of "fangirlies" turning up who don't even know that there are books!! And as for our dear Mr Bloom, I live near enough to Canterbury to do without any more hype thank you lol Ring*Con shouldn't be about which "film" stars they can book, cos to be honest with a fantastic reputation like Ring*Con has, I think anyone who's anyone would say yes lol, but it should be about the whole essence that is Lord of the Rings. The books, the movies, the films, the mead...need I say more?? To be quite honest even if there wasn't any actors attending it's still well worth the flight, the hotel and the entrance ticket without them. Until you have experienced Ring*Con you haven't lived. Maybe it's because i've met so many of the stars that I feel this way, but that's a good thing. It makes me want to go deeper in to this wonderful world and know all I can. I loved Ring*Con last year in Fluda and I'm sure I'll love it even more this time. We are taking the kids with us again so they will steal the show - yet again. but I am sorry, they are not for higher so you will have to find your own way of scoring your way to the fron bwahahahahahaha Bring on Ring*Con Uk is all I can say! L x P.S Goldentree, you are such a star!!! Just wanted to put that cos you helped us out mega last year and this year we've been able to sort things out ourselves cos for once we know what we are doing lol x x Edited October 15, 2006 by BrandinsChick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
