Wizard World Cleveland To Celebrate 20th Anniversary Of ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’

Brendon To Attend March 17-19, Carpenter On Saturday and Sunday, March 18-19, At Huntington Convention Center Of Cleveland

It was 20 years ago (today!) that the cult TV hit “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” first hit the air. Its fandom has grown ever since, and Wizard World is proud to commemorate the occasion by adding two of its most popular and memorable stars, Nicholas Brendon (“Xander Harris”) and Charisma Carpenter (“Cordelia Chase”) to Wizard World Comic Con Cleveland next weekend at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland.

Brendon will appear Friday through Sunday, March 17-19, while Carpenter will attend on Saturday and Sunday. Both will greet fans, sign autographs, pose for dual and solo photo ops and conduct an interactive Q&A panel on Saturday at 3 p.m. on the main stage.

One of the landmark series' most popular personalities, Brendon appeared in films like Psycho Beach Party and Demon Island during hiatuses in the show's run, then had recurring roles in the hit dramas "Criminal Minds" and "Private Practice."

Carpenter, who has more than 50 film and TV credits, reprised "Cordelia" on "Angel" and was a regular on "Veronica Mars" and "The Lying Game." She also played "Lacy" in the blockbuster film The Expendables and its sequel.

They join an All-Star roster that already includes Gene Simmons (Lead Singer, KISS, "Gene Simmons Family Jewels"), Millie Bobby Brown ("Stranger Things"), Anthony Mackie (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron), Jennifer Carpenter ("Dexter," "The Exorcism of Emily Rose") and Loren Lester and Kevin Conroy of "Batman: The Animated Series."

Wizard World Comic Con events bring together thousands of fans of all ages to celebrate the best in pop culture: movies, television, gaming, live entertainment, comics, sci-fi, graphic novels, toys, original art, collectibles, contests and more.

Naked Gun Reboot On It's Way

If you've seen Naked Gun - or The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad ! to give its full title - you'll know that it's a comedic masterpiece that springboards off astonishing levels of silliness and random spoofery. Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce. They’re nice people, but they don’t want to do that style of spoof that I do." One departure
