In what can only be seen as an amazing coup for pop culture fans across Australia, Supanova Pop Culture Expo has announced that the multi Academy Award winning Weta is coming back to exhibit in Australia at the Gold Coast (April 20/21) Supanova Expo.

To enhance the experience of fans to an even greater level, Supanova is hosting three of the dwarfs from THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, actors Graham McTavish (‘Dwalin’), Stephen Hunter (‘Bombur’) and Dean O’Gorman (‘Fili’) with a special appearance, exclusively on the Gold Coast, from ever-green Sylvester McCoy, who featured as the wizard, ‘Radagast’.

Given Sylvester starred as ‘The Doctor’ in DOCTOR WHO, and this being its 50^th Anniversary year, it truly is a special treat!

To lend further depth to the panels, Mark Ferguson will act as host. Recognised as a LORD OF THE RINGS expert, Mark helped launch FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING and stars during the opening sequence as the Elvenking, ‘Gil-galad’.

Yet there’s one more string to the Supanova bow in presenting this stellar cast and experience, the internationally acclaimed, Karl Urban, whose career was launched with his charismatic portrayal as ‘Eomer’ in THE TWO TOWERS and RETURN OF THE KING. His credits since then are a cornucopia of geek wonderland (THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK, DOOM, STAR TREK, RED, PRIEST and DREDD) propelling him to ever greater stardom with STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, due on cinema screens worldwide from mid-May.
