London Film and Comic Con Preview

It's nearly London Film and Comic Con time, and here's a preview of who you can meet this weekend.

From the team behind the legendary Collectormania conventions, Showmasters take over Earls Court 2 on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th July for two days of talks, signing sessions, photo shoots, hoards of merchandise and some exclusive props on display.

In recent years, LFCC has brought you the likes of the Alien/Aliens cast, Simon Pegg & Nick Frost, Christopher Lloyd, Patrick Stewart, Burt Reynolds, John Hurt and hundreds more.

This time you've got the exclusive first UK signing from Mike Tyson - if you're not interested in his boxing career at least he counts as a film star now, with his part in last year's The Hangover.

Blade Runner star Sean Young makes a rare appearance; X-Files' William B. Davis, aka the Cigarette Smoking Man; Star Trek legend William Shatner; Battlestar Galactica favourite Katee Sackhoff; and Sean Pertwee (Dog Soldiers). Genre fans are also treated to character actor Tom Noonan (Manhunter, Robocop 2, Damages) and Hellraiser and Star Trek: DS9 star Andrew Robinson. This is just a fraction of the many stars from cult TV and film who'll you'll be able to meet - head over to www.londonfilmandcomiccon.com for the full list.

Fan of Being Human? Well you can get a unique photo opportunity with all three stars - Aidan Turner (Mitchell), Lenora Crichlow (Annie) and Russell Tovey (George). Director Colin Teague (who's also worked on Torchwood and Doctor Who) will be on hand to talk about the show, and his an Aiden's new project Resonance.

The best bit will be Warner Bros. and DC Comics bringing the Tumbler Batmobile from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight to the show. There'll also be an exhibition of DC Comics cover art from the Golden Age of Comics through to current day, featuring popular DC Super Heroes; Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the Green Lantern. All visitors to the exhibition will receive a free Green Lantern poster by legendary comic book artist Alex Ross.
