Sydney Supanova 2009
Tweet
Hi everyone! As your Australian Correspondent, part of my duties would be to attend some of Australia’s conventions. This year I plan on attending “Supanova Pop Culture Expo” in Sydney which runs from June 26th until June 28th, however lucky Sydney folks will only see me there on June 27th (Saturday).
Supanova is a convention that features Anime, Cosplay, Gaming, Fantasy, Comics… a whole bunch of stuff really! The last time I went (which was about 2 years ago) they had a WWE show in the middle of the dome. Not that it interested me personally, but it was hard not to take notice with the noises they made and the crowd they had gathered. My point is though, that the next year I believe they didn’t have it at all, so there is always something different at Supanova!
Anyway, after a long wait, they have finally announced their guest list! Here it is:
000000;">Karl Urban – Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings, DOOM, Bourne Supremacy, Chronicles of Riddick
Rachelle Lefevre – Twilight & New Moon
Jake Lloyd – Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Dirk Benedict – Battlestar Galactica, The A-Team
Richard Hatch – Battlestar Galactica – the Original and the Re-Imagined
Herb Jefferson Jr. – Battlestar Galactica, Galactica 1980
Stanislav Ianevski – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Spike Spencer – Neon Genesis Evangelion, Martian Successor Nadesico, MÄR: Märchen Awakens Romance, Alchemy Weapon
Christoper Sabat – DragonBall Z, One Piece, Fullmetal Alchemist, Tsubasa Chronicle, Samurai 7
Yuri Lowenthal – Ben 10: Alien Force, Naruto, Wolverine and the X-Men, Afro Samurai, Legion of Supa Heroes
Tara Platt – Naruto, Paradise Kiss, Alchemy Weapon
Dave Gibbons – The Watchmen, Give Me Liberty, Green Lantern Corps, Supa-Soldier, Dr. Who, The Phantom
Tim Sale – Batman: The Long Halloween, Heroes, Hulk: Grey, Daredevil: Yellow, Superman Confidential
Nicola Scott – Birds of Prey, Secret Six, Star Wars Empire
Christopher Sequeira – Astonishing Tales, Cthulhu, Justice League Adventures
Stewart McKenny – DC Superfriends, Star Wars: Clone War Adventures
W. Chew Chan – Astonishing Tales, Superman Returns
Jan Scherpenhuizen – The Twilight Age
Marianne De Pierres – Dark Space, Chaos Space, Parrish Plessis series
Jennifer Fallon – Tide Lords series, The Hythrun Chronicles, Second Sons series
000000;">Andrew Warrilow – The Familiar’s Tale, The Dream Dimension
000000;">So there we have an impressive list of actors, writers and comic book artists which I hope to meet and interview on that Saturday. Now, I must ask you for your help. Who would you be interested in me interviewing, and what questions would you like me to ask on your behalf?
Hopefully I can bring you lots of pictures and maybe even some video from Supanova, and I will also try to cover the Cosplay Competition that is being run by our friends at Madman! And don’t be afraid to say “Hi” if you see me there!
To be at Sydney Supanova, make sure you get yourself to Olympic Park and head for the Dome by 10am on Saturday and Sunday, or 5:30pm on Friday for those lucky enough to go to Preview Night! Tickets are available from Ticketek, but you can also buy them at the door. Check out the details about purchasing from Ticketek on Supanova’s website though if you are buying yours that way.
Any of those questions you have, you can let me know what they are by either leaving a comment here, or by posting it in the forums! Thanks!

I was looking forward to seeing Tara and Yuri too! I'm so bummed...But apparently they can't make it because they had booked work for this week and even though they tried to reschedule it, the producers (I'm assuming) wouldn't agree to it.SO, Supanova organisers have managed to book Greg Cipes in their place. And for those unfamiliar (like me), he is credited with "Ben 10", "Teen Titans" and "Fast and Furious". Interesting - I might ask him about Vin Diesel and Paul Walker if I can work up the courage... lol, j/k
