Supanova Nirvana Returns.
Hands on and completely interactive, this year “Supanova” returns to Australia with a cavalcade of familiar faces that have John Doe ready to attack the nearest clone if it sped up the events arrival.
For those of you who have not entered this alternate universe, “Supanova” is essentially a pop-culture expo that spreads through comics, anime, videogames, cult classics and anything else commonly associated with us fantasy obsessed beings.
Bringing a calibre of quality that for a long time was only available in the motherland (ship). These are the stars, creators, animators and other visionaries associated with the creative and imaginative works that have inspired passionate devotion in audiences.
Johnny D missed last year’s event which featured guests including Lando Lando Calrissian himself, Billy Dee Williams, Sam J Jones (Flash Gordon) and Bruce Spence (Mad Max 2).
Scrolling through the latest issue of FilmInk you will find a two page advertisement for the 2008 landing and the schedule is shaping up nicely. It’s hard to say who is the most exciting face to coming down under but, John Rhys Davies (Sala in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Gimli in Lord of the Rings) would surely have a few anecdotes JD would be interested in.
John Rhys Davies and David Harris
For the Melbourne and Brisbane 3 day Extravaganza, The Warriors is an all time classic and the chance to meet David “Cochise” Harris has Mr Doe ready to “come out and pllllaaaayyyaayyy”. (Shame it’s in the wrong state)
Jewel Straite at another Convention
Chronic cutie Jewel Straite (Kaylee on Serenity, Heidi Gotts on Wonderfalls), the real Incredible Hulk Lou Ferrigno, Police Academy’s Michael Winslow and James Kyson Lee (Ando in Heroes) are also due in.
Just don't make him made!
For the Sydney and Perth people there is an impressive line up forming. At the front of the queue is Heroes head cheerleader Hayden Panettiere.
Save the cheerleader...save the world
The Trekkie in Doe finds the prospect of seeing Nichelle Nichols (Nyota Uhura) brings out his inner Starfleet Academy cadet.
Morena Baccarin (Inara from Firefly/Serenity), Mark Sheppard (Bionic Woman) and Daniel Logan (Jnr Bobba Fett) are also invited.
Expect a JDM exclusive report from the Sydney leg of the journey.
