Highlander Remake Will Use Queen Songs from Original Film (thewrap.com)

Heh, I don't actually know. Part of the reason I was grabbed was to handle a bunch of the cosplay stuff at the other side of the Con to enable the Cosplay crew and staff to focus on the WCS part. I was actually helping out with some leatherworking workshops before the shibari tutorial during the WCS events. Then after, everyone was just crashing for the end of the day rather than talking about it. I did want to see Tabitha Lions (ArtyFakes) rush build she'd done as a challenge. Produce a WCS entrance Cosplay in under a month.

Did the MCM London Comic-Con this weekend. Originally with everything going on I didn't think I'd be able to attend, so I didn't volunteer to be a steward. Then last week everything clicked and I realised I could attend Friday and Saturday. Turned up, and was like "Wow, first time in 5 years as a tourist. What do I actually do?", felt weirdly on edge during the Friday. Checked in with the folks I know where I normally steward, catching up and all that with folks. They also had the WCS early rounds starting up (one of the World Cosplay championships), and Emma (the person who runs all of the Cosplay slice of things) saw me and did a "Can you help out tomorrow?" due to all the chaos. I agreed, and ended up doing 10am till some point after 7pm as an off the books steward over the course of Saturday (which I had already paid for a general ticket) Got invited to look into becoming actual Crew for future Cons. So we'll have to see about that. Now had that blah Monday back at work and a bout of the con-crud had me napping earlier.

Also for the trivia, was Anthony Hopkins and Timothy Dalton's first "proper" film. I think they'd both done one "made for tv film" but apart from that had just been theatre guys with a couple of tv appearances.

Sometimes, you do have to revisit the classics...
