OK ladies and gents the info is still sketchy on all the details but it seems that JumpCon Boston is in major turmoil and is having some money issues. At the time this article is being posted most guest stars have not been paid and also have not received their plane tickets either... Announcement to fans coming to JumpCon Boston:
I regret to announce the cancellation of our Boston event. Many factors that needed to come together
to make it happen simply did not. We tried everything humanly possible and
were unable to overcome the insurmountable obstacles. This is not to say
that I don't take the blame myself, I do. I wanted to see this succeed so
badly that I was blinded to some warning signs that should have been
obvious. If I have learned anything through this process it's that running a
convention business is far more intricate and fraught with peril than it
seemed at the outset. I fully apologize to all the fans who've been
inconvenienced by this late announcement and assure them that we're in the
process of getting you all refunds. I know there are airfare and other
considerations for which you will be liable and for that I am truly sorry.
I wanted to let you know today rather than keep trying to pull this off and
end up like FedCon USA where the fans were already in attendance. Please
accept my humble apology, but I'll understand if you can't.
To all the consultants and industry experts that were brought in to help; I
thank them and hold them blameless as they advised me and tried to do what
they could to help. They should not be held accountable for my actions, they
should be lauded for what they did try to accomplish based on what they had
to work with.
To all of the media guests that were to appear at our events; I want to say
- I am sorry that this has happened and has put some of you into your own
troubles by declining work, saying no to other conventions, and other
issues. My intentions were honorable and I expected to be able to salvage
things but at this point it seems I cannot.
Sincerely,
Shane Senter
Fantasy author K.J. Parker told SCI FI Wire that her latest novel, The Company, is military fantasy but draws on real military history.
Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor have dropped out as the directors of Jonah Hex, the DC Comics property that is expected to star Josh Brolin as a partly disfigured gunslinger and bounty hunter, Variety reported.
Lionsgate has released a new short trailer for The Spirit, director Frank Miller's upcoming film adaptation of Will Eisner's classic comic. The movie opens Christmas Day.
Writer/director Vadim Jean, who directed the upcoming TV adaptation of Terry Pratchett's The Color of Magic, said that the four-hour miniseries is more ambitious than his previous Pratchett adaptation, last year's Hogfather.
Amanda Peet, who plays a character in Roland Emmerich's upcoming apocalyptic film 2012, revealed to SCI FI Wire a bit of the top-secret film's plot structure.
"So there are two stories, so basically I don't know what I'm supposed to give away, but obviously the world is sort of in peril," Peet said
J.J. Abrams and the cast of Star Trek unspooled about 20 minutes of footage from the upcoming reboot movie, and SCI FI Wire watched with a critical eye on Nov. 19 at the Paramount Studios lot in Hollywood. The verdict: mixed, but generally good. More on this in a bit.
