Australia’s home grown comic-con, Supernova Pop Culture Expo, has announced a superstar line-up for Brisbane and Adelaide this year. The 2016 line-up will see exciting guest appearances from stars of our most beloved geeky films and television shows including, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Suicide Squad and Back to The Future.
Natalia Tena (Game of Thrones, Harry Potter), Lucy Hale (Pretty Little Liars), Claudia Wells (Back to the Future), Ian Bohen (Teen Wolf), Karen Fukuhara (Suicide Squad), and Michelle Gomez (Doctor Who) are just some of the stars joining Supanova’s Brisbane and Adelaide line-up this year.
The Brisbane and Adelaide expo will also see appearances from Australian horror icon John Jarratt (Wolf Creek) who will be promoting his new film Boar, as well as Aussie Director and Actor Scott A. Brewer who will be promoting his new sci-fi action film, Garrison 7: Universe, which is set to begin production in 2017.
While both the Brisbane and Adelaide expo have a killer line-up, Adelaide’s Supanova Expo has an extra surprise in store. The event will see an exclusive guest appearance from Game of Throne’s Dutch actress Carice van Houten, who plays Melisandre in the hit HBO series.
Alongside exciting guest appearances, Supanova has a ton of workshops including New Zealand’s Weta Workshop showcasing special effects, with special guests senior conceptual designer Johnny Fraser-Allen, hair and makeup and special effects artists Dion Smith, and author and designer Daniel Falconer. The Expo will also see World of Warcraft composer Jason Hayes lead a symphonic rock concert.
