Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted March 13, 2008 Showmasters Admin Share Posted March 13, 2008 hi all i just want to say even though we are very busy with this weekends con we are still working on Lockdown we are fans of this show and we want to run the best event we can we have had some unexpected difficulties with getting guests for this event, the main one is that J J Abrams has decided to put back the release of Star Trek which allows him to go back to filming Lost and this is now affected us badly, as he wants most of the cast to stay on set even if they are down for filming or not incase he needs them we want this event to be the best event for lost fans in the world but we have been unlucky. we are still working on this Convention we will not give up on it and it will happen it may just not be the big A list event we had hopped for your support of this event insures that it happens and that we will get the chance to grow and run a Lost Convention next year were we can get more A list guests the guests we have coming are looking forward to the event, so you will all get to know them well. one last thing most of the main cast knows who we are now so if we do not get the gusts you want to see this time we will get there in the end well i thought i would put you all in the picture and be honest and up front with you all i hope you all understand we try and still do our best to put on an amazing event thanks for your time jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few questions if pos: Just wondered what this means in regards to Henry? Will it affect his appearance? Also what is happening in regards to a 6th guest? Will we just have the 5 now or are you still looking at side characters for potential guests? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marystat Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thanks for the update, I suspected it was something due to the actors availiability. Hm..so JJ. Abrams is back on Lost..hm...interesting. I still look fwd to this, and hope that HIC still will be able to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfly_Kate Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thanks for the info. It's sad to hear that things aren't working out I wonder why J. J. Abrams is doing that? I hadn't heard he was coming back til now, so that's interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jael001 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 It's very sad that they've not been more accomodating, since events like this are fantastic promotion for the show. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gem-sanders Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Sad to hear that. Relating to the Star Trek, for the Eclipse event would Zachary Quinto had been able to come now? I know there's nothing that can be done now and he won't be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's nothing that can be done now and he won't be there. It's just a question but... Aren't they filming the begining of Heroes volume III ? Since the strike stopped, most of the TV Shows are now filming back... but i have no news about heroes...

sebastianillyria Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) Heroes vol 3 starts filming in May. Thank you very much ! I will stop to look for pictures Why are Sendhil, Noah, Christine who are main cast members coming this weekend ?. When Hayden, Peter, Adrian and Jack were at LFCC in september 2007, I know that Hayden was filming heroes the following week... So it was possible they are filming the volume III since a few days and they can come at Eclipse All they actors are not always filming together. Particularly in heroes, Denis Hammer spok about that and particularly since the second volume. But Bob D answered this question. I think it's more difficult for LOST actors to leave Hawaii only for a 3-days con. Edited March 13, 2008 by sebastianillyria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_mk Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thanks for the reply Jason, to be honest I've not seen anyone criticising on the commitment or work that you guys put into this (or any other) event. I think we've just been expressing the frustration that you are probably feeling and the concern that this event may not be as well attended as any of us would like because of the problems getting guests (and also the fact that there are a lot of events around this time.) I would suggest that perhaps this statement was given perhaps a week or three later than would have been ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Bella Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the update. Truthfully - I thought there would be bigger support for this event from the fans. I know that I'm excited to go. I totally understand all of your (Showmaster's) issues and I'm betting that the strike put a big cramp in your sides regarding getting guests to free up time and sign on. But the strike did happen - and it did screw around with this convention a bit - but maybe from all of this will come a stronger Lost con for next year? I hope that's the case. It's good to get an update that contains no cancellations and to know that the guests already signed on are excited to come. Hoping you get a confirmation on the 6th one soon... we are dying here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. B Edited March 13, 2008 by So Bella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

('Cept I don't know if I could make the same trip next year. This one cost me alot of $$). B I thought like you when i wrote that... Is it possible our support to the con would be awarded I mean I'm sure you do all you can so that Lockdown will be as great as possible. I've just one thing which makes me a little angry because i heard this argument a lot of time It's when we speak about next convention... because all people have not the possibility to attendee all the events, that's why i thought about award I have the exemple about another convention with several actors who canceled and organiser told "we do the best to run another con next year"... Next year is 2008 and in fact some of the canceled actors would be there... but i had money last year for the last event, but not this year for this event... So i just want to say that every event is an independant event, and people who attendee one convention are not the same who will attendee the next. And i don't think speaking about next con is a good idea, sometimes it could make people more angry or sad or what you want... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's putting a cramp in my financial situation. I'm probably giving up some beach days this summer by traveling to England for a Lost con. My husband doesn't get it. LOL. But, I love to travel and I love the show - and when the opportunity presented itself last year - I said "why not?" Jealousy is so not necessary - you Brits (and I say that lovingly) have a much better health care system than we can ever wish for! - I would consider my family at the lower end of the middle class. My health insurance sucks, big time. (I look at it that way because I've got a kid who needs yearly check ups, eye exams, teeth cleanings, etc. - not to mention the same for my hubby and myself). If I had the security of a good job with decent pay in England or France - heck, even Canada - I would move out of this country in a second, just for the health care, among other obvious reasons. But the shopping is good here, I have to say. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayim Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 May I ask why you're so keen to go, Kayim? We have it SO much better here. I honestly dont know :) It's just been a dream of mine for a long, long time. I am fascinated by everything American and I've always hoped to live there. It's not likely to happen though - it costs a lot to emigrate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell me all about the US - I'm desperate to emigrate there, with my hubby and daughter :) Yes!! I would love to meet up and chat!! Seems like we have a lot in common! Do you have a Gold pass? I'll be at the Park in Hotel from Thursday the 3rd until Monday morning after the event is over (Cheaper to travel on the weekdays). Send me an email so we can chat: deelovelee@aol.com I've only met 2 people online here at this forum so I feel like I'm walking into the unknown. LOL. But I've been assured that the people who go to these things are super friendly - and you always make fast friends. I hope that's how it goes. ~Oh, and I agree with the poster (Psychosis) who says you have it so much better there~ You really do. My huband immigrated here 18 years ago and had a rough start. (He's from Montenegro and he lived in London for 6 months prior to moving here). I'd say your best bet is vacationing here is great but coming to live.. hard. OK.. enough babble. Really, send me an email - I can talk your ears off. B Edited March 13, 2008 by So Bella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambourne Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thanks a lot SM. I have to say I actually love this line up, and would go to Lockdown 2 even if it was the exact same guests again. Despite the problems we have awesome guests. Although from the sound of things Henry will probably have to cancel, but that's the way things go I suppose.
