This year's event will take place August 31st - September 3rd at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Tickets are already available at www.fanexpocanada.com/tickets. This year is set to be one of the best yet with many celebrities from the comics, sci-fi, horror, anime, and gaming genres. The cast of the remake of the Rocky Horror Picture Show will be on site joined by original movie star Tim Curry. The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus will also be on site to sign autographs and meet the fans. Anthony Daniels who plays C3PO in the Star Wars movies will pay us a visit while the world's most famous shark-hunter turned Hollywood icon, Richard Dreyfuss will also attend. Lena Headey who plays Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones will be there this year as well as actress Kathleen Turner from Romancing the Stone, Serial Mom and Californication.
