2014 DWcon Manchester - The Grand Exhibition!
- Thread starter Jan Van Quirm
- Start date
Jan: I'll have to correct you - it won't be the finished Troll Bridge being screened, rather an almost complete work-in-progress. The official premiere has to take place at a film festival (as many film festivals have this as a qualification of entry) and we're not entirely sure where that will be. However, Daniel does intend to show us congoers as complete a version as possible... I expect several SFX shots won't be complete, but we can expect all the live action stuff to be edited and cut together as per the final version.
It's a great pity he won't be there but as been said above Terry's health (and the the prospect of another book) is more important than another convention appearance. It will be sad for those people making their first convention hoping to meet the great man at last but it is fully understandable.
The extra note that Stephen Baxter will also be missing is also unfortunate but on a plus, at least for me that will mean that my luggage will be considerably lighter as I can leave all those books behind I was hoping to get signed.

Just seen this on Twitter.

News about the play
We are sorry to announce that the Feet of Clay play to be performed at the Convention has has to be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. We know this is a shame for all involved and this was not a decision taken lightly but we promise there will be a replacement programme item of a theatrical nature which will be revealed at the Convention. We would like to publicly thank all those in the cast and crew who were working on Feet of Clay for their time and effort.

That's a shame but I'm sure a decent replacement will be done.
I was just wondering who else from here will be arriving a bit early (Thursday 7th) as I will be having a crack at the quiz this time around and was wondering about getting a forum team together? It was quite good fun last time, although I was only a spectator.
