London Film & Comic Con Saturday 25th June Meetup by Zol

Hey everyone!! Wow, how fun was that? Me and Beth hung round Adams queue for a while, talking to the guy in charge of it - who it turns out posted that handy thread that Fray has so kindly linked to! And then there was nobody in the queue, so we got to go up and talk to him!! So we were talking to him for about five minutes, and Beth got to meet him, and then he posed for a photo with both of us!

Although, sadly, I'm a little disappointed with my photos, they havent turned out as nice as I'd have liked, cos my cameras poop!

All the photos I wasn't bothered about turned out fine, but all the ones I wanted were a disappointment. Ah well, it was a fantastic day!

But, grr! NO Serenity booth, no new UK trailer, and no freebies! *Bitch!*

But, there was a list with the war of the worlds stuff to sign up for the preview info.

PsychicRiver

"Two by two, hands of blue."

"We'll take care of each other. I'll knit!"

Summer Glau to me - "You are so photogenic."

so i succumbed to it and decided to register! so helloo to everyone i did meet today. loffly to meet you all, but i think it was even more lovely to meet adam. the serenity booth was an optional extra for me, so meeting adam was brilliant. sadly i forgot to change the white balance in my camera, so all my photos look orangey-yellow!

Someone I was chatting to said the people on the War of the worlds desk had told him Universal had experienced a problem and had not been able to make the show.

No one knew whether they would be showing up Sunday.

I think, at very least, the organisers should have set up a preview registration list. Then they could have passed it onto Universal if they did show up on the Sunday.

Hey stranger! Sleepy....trying to made my Charisma photos look even half decent! Hate to admit it but have already changed my photo at The Photo 'Verse!

I think it's pretty definite that there will be more previews - we'll just have to get our tickets another way now!

A couple of people have posted at LFACC about the stall - strangely nothing about Val's no show though!

Hey, just read the bit about the white balance - the guy I was talking too in the JB queue told to do that but needless to say I didn't bother too! So yes, a fair few of my photos are orange too although I've managed to edit most of them. Fortunately the Adam ones are fine (have one of you, well your back(!) about to meet him!)

If the organisers don't even know what went on then I guess it's unlikely there will be any resolutions by tomorrow. Still, I would be so annoyed if the booth did magically appear and I wasn't there for all the shiny things!

Hopefully that mailing list on The War of the Worlds stand might shed some light on how to get hold of tickets for any previews.

Hmmm, I wonder what happened with Val? There were some pretty disappointed faces in the crowd.

LOL! My sister's a bit jealous about the Billy thing - shame it's such a hideous photo of me! Still, the other ones came out OK so can't complain.

If anyone's got a half decent one of Charisma, please let me know! I think 2 of mine are actually in focus and she's looking down in both of them. So mad I didn't think to use the video! (or go back later when she was posing - apparently someone even used a flash!)

Hi to everyone I met today!

I had a good day meeting Adam despite the lack of a Serenity booth.

I think I said that I had been told by one of the con organisers that Universal may have dropped serenity according to what he had heard.

But what he actually said was (possibly paraphrased):

'semi-officially UIP may have dropped Serenity'

UIP are not Universal but united international pictures the UK distributor of Serenity as far as I can tell. I've just reread the londonfilmandcomicon site and it seems Universal were never meant to be at the con, only UIP.

So I don't know if it's true but it's possible the UK distributor may have to be changed?

I don't know how accurate this info is but this is the impression I got off the convention organiser.

heb

edited to add: Serenity is still on the UIP page so this may well be wrong.

Well, I`m back, haven`t time to read through so many posts as I`ve got to be up again tomorrow to drive down to Crawley.

In summary,

Good to meet Adam, friendly guy & more than willing to pose for photos.

NO UIP Serenity Screeening Info or Freebies relating to Firefly/Serenity.

As there wasn`t much in the way of Firefly related stuff, the group didn`t stick together - this isn`t a fault, but spent a bit of time looking for everyone.

Thanks to StevieB & PrettyinPink, after leaving the Con, we went and saw Batman Returns & had an excellent meal in Central London.

And cheers to everyone else of course.

Now, I`ve got to go, still got some packing to do, and I was up at 3.30am this morning.

Glad one of us managed to find Cally! And no worries about not spending much time with us - at least we got to meet up!

Spent way too much money on autographs but don't regret a penny! And of course I did get that freebie photo with Billy Boyd!

OK, my justification is that I did pay for Billy's autograph at LFACC1, it just took another year to get my posed photo! What a sweetie though! And hooray for us for not buying anything (autographs still don't count, right?).

Guess we were lucky in that we didn't go there purely for Adam/Serenity Booth so had plenty of other things to keep us occupied (hence the wandering off...)

No, he didn't. Apparently it's because a known stalker had been spotted at Earls Court.

The new controversy is that people who turned up on Sunday (assuming their ticket was below a certain number) are being offered a free autograph - provided they gave their details whilst at the event yesterday. This has upset the Saturday people who aren't being offered the same.

UIP have NOT dropped Serenity they have agreed to sponsor the fan table at Memorabilia in Birmingham at the NEC. You may recall from myu earlier posts that I mentioned that Showmasters were not dealing with the people at UIP regarding the previews. The rep from UIP knew nothing about the sign up available at LFACC as it was nothing to do with her.

The tour of previews is going ahead in August.

I sent an e-mail to UIP expressing my disappointment, about the missing Serenity stand, and enquiring as to what had occurred. I received this response today:

>>Please accept our sincere apologies for any disappointment caused because
of the lack of material or information available for SERENITY at the London
Film & Comic Con.

We actually did have the international trailer ready to premiere, but due
to lack of communication or information from the organisers we were unable
to deliver it.

The organisers had also offered us a booth - but only last week - and given
the short turnaround time to produce sufficient good materials for display,
we decided to decline. I'd rather do something properly, or not at all.

The information about registering on a data base for forthcoming screenings
has never come from this office. No such screenings are yet confirmed, but
please feel free to stay in touch and I will advise if/when there's any
news. If they do go ahead, then I can assure you that all fans will have
a fair chance to secure tickets.<<

I feel that this event, has almost dealt with people fraudulantly - If Adam had also not been there, I would have been extremly angry and demanded my money back for getting me to an event on false pretences

The european trailer will be available soon, which is good news for those who don`t mind seeing more bits from the finished product, maybe not for those who want to remain spoiler free (but you can`t win with some people)

August will be a great time to be a fan, with the Fantable at Memorabelia with a Fantastic Shindig in the evening (August 13th/14th - see www.browncoatevents.com for more details) and then of course there will be these screenings planned, what more could you ask for?

See everyone sooner rather than later, I`ll bring the rope so everybody has to stick together rather than beeing picked off one by one by Startrek fans

I have sent an email back to UIP to ask when they turned down the booth. If SM had advanced notice, and didn't bother to tell us, then I am not going to be a happy browncoat.

Zol - AtomicJumbo, ILoveSummer, Scud and I are attending Memorabilia on the Saturday. Unfortunatly it is highly unlikely that we will be able to attend the Shindig

. We would be happy to help out on the stall or wander around handing out flyers. I will have a rummage around and see if I have any items to donate to the stall.

Sorry for those people who literally went to see Adam & the Booth and weren't interested in anything else. But for some of us there were plenty of other interesting guests to go meet - so that's what we did.

Just this once, the Star Trek fans are innocent!

but the thing is there are disclaimers saying that sometimes guests can't attend, and honestly you can't really hold organisers responsible. sure they should announce earlier if someone can't come etc etc, especially in the val kilmer case, but if it's just a random one off, something sudden, no i wouldn't blame anyone. besides only a tenner for entry.

There was loads of other things to do, and anyway if there wasn't there was a lovely air conditioned bar with over priced coke to drink ;) and then stare at the poor unfortunate stall holder who had one of the worst comb overs i've ever seen.

Fray, I wasn`t getting at anyone inparticular, but it was just a case of everybody going their separate ways and not always mentioning to the others what was going on. These places are pretty busy at the best of times. After searching a while, I had to do my own thing for a while, and met Jeff Wayne (War of the Worlds) & bought the new re-mixed collectors album etc.

I thought that we were all going to have lunch together as was suggested by StevieB & then a meal later.

Still, I had a reasonable time, I won`t say great due to the problems of non-serenity turnout (& what appears to be false advertising by Showmasters)

Zol - you lie! You were quite definitely having a go at Star Trek fans...! Who, to be honest, seem to be in the minority these days.

Considering how busy it was, and with people arriving at different times, I was actually impressed how many of us managed to meet up all - Cally, glad to hear you bumped into Matt but am shocked you didn't recognise the Official Summer Glau Poster Boy.

BTW, whilst everyone's frustrated by the missing Serenity booth, we might all want to watch potentially libelous comments...

If what UIP has said is true then they are guilty of false advertising with regard to the Serenity screenings and that is illegal.

Hi all,

Sorry it's taken me this long to post, real life has been hectic, LFCC was great even with a raging hangover, it was great to meet up with people (Hi PR) and even tho' we never managed to actually meet it was great talking to you on the phone Fray.

Adam was the sweetest guy I've ever met, I had 3 hours sleep the night before and by the time I got round to him I been on my feet for 5 hours! To say I was tired was an understatement, the stupid assed grin I had on my face in my photo was 1/2 because I was so tired. Adam looks at me and says you look like you need a week's sleep at which I said yeah I really do, at that point he leapfrogs across the table and pulls me into the biggest bear hug (this man has massive arms) and says 'sleep'!!! I could've, really I could!
Also I had a vest on that says 'Whedon's Bitch and proud of it' across it and he says to me, from one Whedon's Bitch to another..... thank you so much for coming!

I will confess however to having a new obsession, John Barrowman is the sweetest most down to earth guy I've ever met! And rather gorgeous to boot!

I don't know if this is going to work but i'm going to try and post a link to my photo's so here goes -

I'm new here but thought I should post that I was there and the event was fab. A tad dissapointing about the trailer not being present but as was mentioned at the talk nobody really knows why for sure.

I was crewing at the event on the Saturday working on the ticket booth on the front door. Was on my feet all day but all I could think about was meeting Adam and John Barrowman the next day.

When I met Adam I was blown away by his tallness to begin with....I'm a shorty. But he was real nice chatting with me and everything. Really made my day

Hey Cally! First of all, can't agree enough with the John Barrowman thing - just so friendly! And the rest...Jeez, and I thought I'd taken a lot of photos of him! Sadly I was at the back for the talk.

Where the heck did you see Chitty? I was happy with KITT but now I'm a bit upset...

Ooh, you met Adrian Paul...I so fancied him in The Colbys! I only got some distant shots of him (the money had gone by then!)

However, I do have an email from the person at UIP charged with promoting the BDM, dated just after Showmasters' announcement about signing up to preview screenings which states that she knew nothing about what they had announced back then so I am inclined to side with the people who's job it is to get the message out about the film not to attract attendees to a signing event. Anyhow, let's not share the bitterness, I agree with you entirely let's just move on nothing can be done eh? Let's promote the hell out of our movie instead!

BTW (for anyone not directed at Muffin)the event at Birmingham in August is likely to attract at least 10,000 attendees going on conservative estimates and I am guessing that the trailer may start to do the rounds with War of the Worlds.
