RingCon is a fantasy convention held in Germany. This year, it’s happening on October 15 – 17, and two of the confirmed guest stars are Bruce Spence (Zedd) and Craig Parker (Darken Rahl). If you’re anywhere near there in October, go go go!

“Syfy Tells Seeker Fans (Again): No, and Stop Bothering Us”
From About.com:
After persistent pressure from fans of the canceled series, Syfy has again confirmed that it won’t be picking up Legend of the Seeker.
The message came in a slightly exasperated-sounding Twitter post from Craig Engler, Syfy’s head of digital media: “Dear #LegendoftheSeeker fans. I appreciate your passion, but the Twitter not so much
I’m sorry but we’re unable to pick LOTS up.”

She posted this photo on Twitter today. Her caption: “So funny – got my honey’s friend Kev to be an extra. He did a great job! Look for him… ”
See it in HQ in the Galleries by clicking on the pic below.
A long-overdue update…
I’ve added a new category to the Galleries: “Costumes and Props” – pics of authentic costumes and props from Seeker.
As a costume re-creator, I couldn’t pass these up, thinking there might be others out there looking for details in re-creating costumes from LotS themselves. Most pictures were lifted from eBay auctions.

It’s really well done. Nice work, everyone!!
Exclusive interview with Craig Parker over at AUSXIP…
Craig Parker plays Richard’s nemesis, Darken Rahl. Here’s a snippet:
We read that you’ve done some musical theatre. Are you very musical person? Is it something you enjoy?
I sing like a dog and have an absolute dread of doing it in public. The last musical thing I did my friend, Joel, stood behind me and punched me in the back whenever it was my turn to sing. Even then, I’d be half a beat out and several ‘whatevers’ off key.
You have done a lot of sci-fi or fantasy work, what do you enjoy about these kinds of projects?
I’ve never done anything sci-fi but with fantasy shows, I still get such a kick out of walking onto a set that looks just like the world I imagined when I was a kid playing dressups… and you get to do cool magic spell casting!
What kind of research did you do to prepare for these roles?
If the project is based on an existing book then so much of the detective work is done for you, especially the inner world of the character. If not, I curl up with the script and read and reread and work backwards to come up with reasons why the character does and says what they do. Oh yeah, and practice cool magic spell casting in the mirror.
