Supanova
Pop Culture Expo Hits Sydney, Australia - 16th June
2012
The
Supanova pop culture expo has returned to Sydney,
Australia, and has warmly embraced the pop culture
phenom which is taking place at Olympic Park, Homebush,
in Sydney's west.
It's
a 3 day pop culture mania bringing together fans,
actors, game players, information and tons of merchandise
and collectibles. Make no mistake - this is big business,
but also lots of fun. It brings out the kid lurking
inside all of us, no matter what our age.
Witnessing
the general public dress up as their favourite hero,
heroine or monster was just as much fun as the official
exhibitions.
Coming
to the expo to join in the fun (and big business)
are over 40 international stars from various shows,
films, franchises and worlds including Christopher
Lloyd (Back To The Future’s Doc Brown), Yvonne
Craig (the original Batgirl), Natalia Tena (Nymphadora
Tonks in the Harry Potter series, Osha in Game Of
Thrones) and Verne Troyer (Mini-Me from the Austin
Powers films).
Even
our favorite real life superheroes of Australian pro
wrestling - AWF Wrestling turned up and put on some
very solid chain wrestling and brawling to the delight
of the crowd. The wrestlers were also a big favorite
with the media and the brawlers got somewhat crowd
mobbed with famed actor Verne Troyer (Mini-Me) from
'Austin Powers' fame joining in the fun and games.
The
Christopher Lloyd question and answer session was
very entertaining and educational, and was a much
sought after attraction for both news media and fans.
Lloyd shared stories from his illustrious acting and
show business career, much of which has been pop culture
included such as 'Back To The Future' franchise, where
he portrayed Dr. Emmett Brown. Lloyd even talked about
the cult film fav 'Suburban Commando', which also
featured pro wrestling living legend, Hulk Hogan (not
known for great acting), but a very entertaining showman,
none the less. Lloyd told the crowd of 500 plus that
he enjoyed working with Hulk and that he was a really
nice guy and didn't pretend to be a great actor. One
lucky fan asked Lloyd if he could have a "high
five", and the actor obliged, which got a nice
reaction from the jam packed crowd.

Buffy
Star also at Supernova Sydney...
Star
of Buffy, Mercedes McNab, has come Down Under for
Supernova and is loving it.
The
blonde is in Sydney for the Supanova Pop Culture Expo
at Sydney Showground, Olympic Park.
Best
known for playing mean girl Harmony Kendall on 'Buffy
The Vampire Slayer', McNab has enjoyed a successful
career as a modern day scream queen.
From
the popular Hatchet horror movie franchise to spooky
shows such as Buffy and Angel, the 32-year-old says
she has come to feel comfortable within the genre
and loves "a good death scene".
"It’s
hilarious. I never thought I’d be considered
a scream queen, but I guess I’ll take it.
"I
think I gravitate more towards comedy and comedy can
sometimes be in a darker vein, like sarcasm."
The
edgy stuff started early for McNab, with her big screen
debut opposite Christina Ricci's Wednesday Addams
in The Addams Family movie and its sequel.
At
the age of 16 she auditioned for a supporting role
on Joss Whedon's Buffy The Vampire Slayer, a move
that would change her life.
"We
were on a brand new network and the show was based
off a B-movie," she says.
"No
one expected a spin-off to come of it or such a great
fan reaction. No one could anticipate how welcomed
and received the show was.
"In
the beginning we never knew whether if we were going
to get killed off.
"You’d
get the script and skip to the end to make sure you
weren’t going to die."
McNab
experienced quite a character turn on Buffy when her
superficial character was transformed into a vampire
and eventually went on to join the spin-off series
Angel.
"I
was flattered".
"To
have Joss call you and have him ask you to be a part
of anything he does is pretty awesome."
Now
that Whedon has found mainstream and box-office success
with the hit of the year - 'The Avengers' - McNab
says his loyal friends couldn't be happier.
"He’s
such a genius. He's just proved to the industry what
he can do."
Supanova
Pop Culture Expo is on today and Sunday at Sydney
Showground, Olympic Park.

Our
Hero is no longer Expendable. Eric Roberts is “The
Master” of Supanova!
In
a career spanning five decades, Eric Roberts has become
recognisable to millions of film and TV fans. He has
appeared in almost 200 movies and in countless TV
shows including Heroes, The Drew Carey Show, Frasier,
Oz, Touched By An Angel, Law & Order: SVU and
even in a Doctor Who telemovie as the Doctor’s
nemesis, The Master.
He
has filmed in over 17 countries, including Australia
(in The Coca-Cola Kid), and received critical acclaim
for his performances in Star 80, It’s My Party
and Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. In 2008, Eric
joined the cast of Batman: The Dark Knight as Gotham
gangster Sal Marone; in 2010 he appeared alongside
Stallone, Lundgren, Statham and Li in The Expendables.
Fans
of comics and animation know him as the voice of Mongul
in the Justice League cartoons. He’s such a familiar
face that he has appeared as himself in 63 productions,
often making light of his notoriously chequered movie-star
lifestyle. Brother to Julia Roberts and father of
teen actress Emma Roberts, Eric is a true Hollywood
veteran.
He’s
therefore also the perfect guest to kick off festivities
for Supanova’s TENTH ANNIVERSARY at the Sydney
expo, in addition to the Perth expo the following
weekend, with an exclusive Q&A and special appearance
at each of our Friday evening Preview Nights which
are exclusively for full weekend ticket holders (SUPA
FAN PASS), in helping us celebrate a decade of successful
Supanova Expos; something we couldn’t have done
without your wonderful support.
Eric
will then spend the weekends meeting fans, signing
autographs and posing for studio portraits. (Supernova)

the heroic angel Pit. With the aid of Palutena, goddess
of light and guardian of the human race, Pit must
