aliens trilogy is the only one that stands out for me...

 

the rest I'm just not interested at all...

 

seen enough of the others the last few years at conventions..

 

seems to be more Sci-Fi than anything else....

 

would like to see more of a mix to be honest....

 

think thats the reason I love MK and London....

Out of the choices available, I am only interested in Harry Potter so that was the only one that got my vote. It was said before but I do like the Alien films but not sure I'm a big enough fan to attend an entire convention based on them. Harry Potter on the other hand would be an excellent idea and I would imagine it to be very successful.

Any con connected to a film series is going to be risky, unless they are still being made IMO. There are lots of people that love a particular film or a series of films, but as the years roll on, they become more memories of a time and are consigned to the "wasn't xxxxx good" Students do it a lot with fond memories of kids they watched growing up such as Thundercats, Press Gang etc when it comes to TV. Nostalgia is fine and fun, but a bit of a risk for cons. Give it a few years and will people still want to go to a Twilight con?

 

For this reason I think financially series such as

 

Resident Evil, Underworld, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Superhero movies are the best candidates owing to the sheer numbers of potential guests, assuming you aren't going to get the massive big names. Johnny Depp would be good, but Kevin McNally or McKenzie Crook are more realistic. With new films being made regularly every couple of years they stay in the public eye and thus are easier to promote themselves too.

Having voted for;

Secret Circle, Star Wars & Supernatural, i would also like to add Harry Potter and Rd dwarf to my votes, haha

i'm kind of greddy that way.

 

How about a Batman event, featuring stars from a the films, tv series, voice actors from animated shows and games as well as

Writers, artists and such from the comics.

 

That would be awesome :thumbup:
