    Cullen keeps telling people he'll be there, so we'll see.

    I would be very surprised to see Speilberg, Bay, Murphy, De Santo, or any of the "official" variety type, as they've skipped the last two shows (De Santo did show up at 2004 in Pasadena). Keep in mind this is the OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE COUNTRY for most of these people (they live in Cali), so it's not a cheap flight, so to speak.

    I actually wouldn't be suprised if none of the actors show up. VA's maybe. But not any of the actual actors. They'd probably be all in Hollywood promoting at the time.

    When's the premiere?

    Premiere is Monday, the 25th in Hollywood. I believe. There is premieres the entire week of Botcon, it's going to be a headache to keep up with it all. Thankfully, I'll be in Philly on the 24th, drinking Tony's beer and stealing his cat Starbucks.

    The 25th? Plus a bunch of the actors will be doing the usual rounds on TV as well promoting on talk shows and such.

    Yeah, I'd be surprised if any of the actors showed up at BOTCON.

    He's a really nice guy.
    Personally, I hope that Hugo Weaving shows up; not just because I'd love to meet him, but also to see the look on Tricky's face when she meets him.

    I'm looking forward to meeting David Kaye again, met him very briefly at Auto Assembly last year and he just managed to sign stuff for me before he had to go do something, it'd be nice to actually be able to ask him some stuff this time!

    Even though most of the actors live in Cali. There is the chance they'll be doing promotions and talk shows which some are in New York. I can't imagine a flight from NY to RI would be quite as expensive as one from Cali to RI. On the other hand they could tie it into the media blitz that will be happening. I can see a story on some entertainment show, talking about a Transformers convention celebrating the new movie. Given all the buzz around this movie, I really wouldn't be surprised if there isn't at least some media people there doing a story (newspapers, television or even footage for the DVD) We'll have to wait and see.

    Or the elevator. :wink:  And I don't mean stalking the elevator. We just happened into the same one he was in.

    And he was at his best when Mr. Wildman was with him. I remember them joining a couple of us at our bar table back at one of the OTFCC's... Good times, good times (and how often can you say that about an OTFCC?!?)
