Close Encounter.

Richard Dreyfuss, Peter Weller, Karl Urban and Alice Eve To Appear at The Dallas Sci-Fi Expo.

Word of a pretty cool score from the folks at the Dallas Comic-Con's annual Sci-Fi Expo just popped up the ol' inbox: Appearing at this year's event, which goes down on February 8 and 9 at the Irving Convention Center, will be Mr. Holland himself, Richard Dreyfuss.

Thanks to his roles in Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Dreyfuss is essentially a god in the science fiction realm, but he's hardly the only interesting name also slated to appear at this year's deal.

Among the others showing up to Irving: J.J. Abrams' Star Trek cast members Karl Urban and Alice Eve; O.G. RoboCop god and Buckaroo Banzai persona Peter Weller; Doctor Who companion Karen Gillan; and the reunited cast of SyFy's Warehouse 13.

More information on the event can be found here. Just know this: Cosplay good times aside, these affairs are rarely cheap, and tickets do not guarantee meet-and-greet sessions. Single-day passes herestart at $25.
