keithporter23 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/06/movies/06jackson.html?_r=3 As reported in the NY Times, Peter Jackson wil be making his first convention appearance in the US San Diego comic con. As Showmasters is the UK's largest and best convention organiser, how about putting in a call now that we know he's willing to attend these things?

Moderators DavidB Posted June 10, 2009 Moderators Share Posted June 10, 2009 As much as I'd love to meet the man, SDCC gets people far easier because they're simply there to promote their work. So it's probably not any likelier now than it was before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithporter23 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 At least we know he isnt against the idea of appearing at a con, and whats wrong with him using a UK convention to promote his film over here?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted June 10, 2009 Moderators Share Posted June 10, 2009 I wouldn't be against it I just don't let myself get my hopes up based on who they get, as they get sh!tloads that would never do a normal signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Fooku Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Damnit when I saw this on the front page of the forum I thought it was going to be an announcement from SM that he was appearing! Did you do this deliberately Keith, just because I disagreed with your burning desire to have the same guests again for the next Autographica?!

keithporter23 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 DavidB - youve got to think and aim higher, don't be a realist - you never know what could happen!! Did you ever expect the likes of Christopher Lloyd or Scott Bakula were ever gonna attend a convention over here? Over the past few years Showmasters have pulled some amazing guests out of the bag, so anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Fooku Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Remember David as William Shakespeare wrote in Richard III act 3 scene 5 "Reach for the stars Climb every mountain higher Reach for the stars Follow your heart's desire Reach for the stars And when that rainbow's shining over you That's when your dreams will all come true" I think its very hard not to feel humbled by such written genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeDonovan Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) how about putting in a call now that we know he's willing to attend these things? It's a bit more realistic than asking for George Kennedy to come back for Autographica 14 Remember David as William Shakespeare wrote in Richard III act 3 scene 5 "Reach for the stars Climb every mountain higher Reach for the stars Follow your heart's desire Reach for the stars And when that rainbow's shining over you That's when your dreams will all come true" I think its very hard not to feel humbled by such written genius If I had managed to remember that famous quote in my A level English exam - I might have got that A.
