[ManaByte]

And that's just Thursday and Friday. They normally save the big guns for Saturday...

This could mean Lucasfilm is revealing the live action Star Wars series on Saturday, since Avatar and Peter Jackson will be out of the way prior to that.

And it'll be the only panel broadcast live on TV. G4 is showing the Star Wars panel live on Saturday.

Someone should see if Gary Whitta will let them cut in line.

Even though I can't go this year, I wouldn't have to cut. My friends always get first in line for Hall H to get front row center seats (well, second or third row back, so you can see the screens better).

Is that because they are super nerds and camp out, or they've got the hook up?

Yeah, I'm pretty excited about seeing what's coming from Comic Con this year. My former boss is going, I might have her give me a text update from the show.

Isn't Eli the first Direct to Video Denzel movie?

Why would you root for someone to fail?

... also, Eli comes out in January - not on DVD!

Taxi Driver would make an awesome RTS, though.

Ryan Reynolds cast as sarcastic super hero

Los Angeles, AP - In a surprise move, some Hollywood studio cast the affable Ryan Reynolds as the main character in their latest superhero film where the costumed vigilante fights justice with a sardonic wit.

"We really had to search long and hard for a handsome actor with chiseled good looks that brought earnest smug to the character," said the studio executive, "And we were astounded to see this test footage with [Ryan] Reynolds acting cocky and sarcastic - it was range we never knew he had."

Reynolds, best known for his roles in The Amityville Horror and The Nines, has struggled against being typecasted as a serious, brooding actor.  The above average director, who will helm this light, adventure picture - in what is sure to be as stretch for him - had initial reservations about casting Reynolds.

"See, this guy isn't like all the other superheroes," said the director, "He's a real cheeky f-----.  And I wasn't sure he was capable of biting sarcasm and deadpan delivery, but he knocked it out of the ballpark."

The fan community, which had been campaigning Reynolds for the role since it was leaked that a script was being written, was notably excited.

"Ryan Reynolds is perfect for this character," wrote one Internet fan on his message board, "He perfectly captures the emotional depth that this character needs - also he is muscular and really sarcastic."

Reynolds will reportedly get into shape for the role by banging his ridiculously hot wife repeatedly, and practicing his acting chops with Dane Cook.

They had to move Avatar due to Twilight distinguished mentally-challenged fellows. I am totally supportive of a Twilight holocaust where all Twilight fans are gassed.
 

Last night I wrote an editorial titled Will Twilight Ruin Comic-Con, which basically shed light on a potential situation which would cause thousands of convention-goers to miss out on the most anticipated panels of Comic-Con 2009. Last year Twilighters began lining up at 3-4pm the previous day for the next day’s panels in Hall H. This caused thousands of convention attendees to miss out on the 20th Century Fox panel which preceded the Summit presentation. It also resulted in a lot of the people who showed up reasonably early (or some people who have never attended comic-con might consider unreasonably early), a few hours, to be stuck in seats at the back of the hall. Either way, I argued that the potential disaster could be prevented by holding the New Moon panel first, or by clearing the room before the New Moon panel to let in the Twilight line. Both seemed like reasonable solutions.

 
It appears that Comic-Con has listened to some of the worried conventioneers on Twitter and the blogs and has responded to the situation (kinda). They have moved the James Cameron’s Avatar panel to 3:00pm, and moved the Summit (aka New Moon) panel to 1:45pm. This will definitely allow more people to see the highly anticipated Avatar panel, as it is expected that most Twilighters will leave Hall H at the conclusion of the Summit panel (as occurred last year). Unfortunately, the Disney 3D panel still opens the con at 11am, which means many will likely be shut out of seeing Tron 2 and Alice in Wonderland as the Twilighters will be camped out early to hold their seats for the New Moon presentation.

The good news is that Comic-Con doesn’t seem to be set in stone. Schedule changes are being made, and hopefully things will continue to get better. I will be making another post with a complete listing of schedule changes, look out for that shortly.

[Joe Molotov]

Comic Con is like a paradise of nerdly splendors.

[ManaByte]

Here's how Twight ruined last years con:

Update: Comic-Con has partly responded to fan concerns by moving the Avatar panel until after the Twilight presentation. Unfortunately, the Disney 3D panel (Tron 2, Burton’s Wonderland) remain before the Summit panel.

I’m not a Twilight hater. We wrote about the first film a few times, and received a ton of extra traffic as a result. But I learned quickly that it just wasn’t my cup of tea. Not only that, but it isn’t something most /Film readers are interested in. That’s why we generally don’t cover the Twilight films (aside from some trailers or page 2 items). Unlike others, I don’t feel threatened by the books, films, or insane fandom. Why should I? Twilighters can do their own thing, and it really doesn’t affect me at all… except for when it does. And the one time it might is at a place called Comic-Con.


Probably the most anticipated film at Comic-Con this year is James Cameron’s Avatar. But only second to Tron 2, a film almost 30 years in the making which was the surprise sensation of last years con. For those who don’t know, they have retrofitted the main hall at the San Diego Convention Center, Hall H, for 3D presentations this year — a Comic-Con first. What this means is that the first two panels in Hall H on Thursday are in 3D (Disney 3D and Avatar). I assume they did this so that they could easily pass out 3D glasses to those entering the hall in the morning. If they had held the 3D presentations later in the day, distribution of 3D glasses could have been complicated. Sounds logical, right? But not when you add Twilight into the mix.

Summit Entertainment’s panel takes place 15 minutes after the close of the Avatar presentation. Anyone who attended last year’s Comic-Con can attest to how much of a cluster-fuck was caused by Twilight’s presentation in Hall H. Hundreds of tweens and Twilight Moms/Dads camped overnight to be the first ones into Hall H. By the time the “normal people” began to line up hours before doors were set to open, thousands of Twilighters were already in line.

Hall H fits 6,000-6,500 people , yet many people were shut out of the opening 20th Century Fox panel, and when the Summit panel began you couldn’t even hear yourself think as four or five thousand Twilight fans screamed in unison. It was a bit sad seeing a 50-year-old Twilight Mom asking a 22-year old Robert Pattinson if he wears boxers or briefs, but Im not writing today to talk about that. When the Summit panel ended, Hall H rapidly emptied, as more than 80% of the people exited the building. The rest of the day/weekend became a lot less stressful. But a lot of the people that wanted to attend the early morning panel missed out.

 
By placing the Summit panel (AKA The Twilight Saga: New Moon panel) as the third panel of the day, they are forcing thousands of movie fanatics out of Hall H. Unless you’re willing to brave the crowds and show up 4-5 hours before HALL-H opens, the seats will be taken by Twilight fans. Twilight fans who probably aren’t interested in Avatar. Many of those people who want to see previews of A Christmas Carol, Alice In Wonderland, Tron 2 and Avatar will be left out. A huge chunk of the audience that Disney and Fox had hoped would attend their 3D presentations will be unable to enter the Hall.

Even Industry trade newspaper The Hollywood Reporter recognizes the potential problem:

Apart from the high-level interest in Avatar and Tron, Hall H might also see a repeat of last year’s female fan frenzy with Summit’s presentation of New Moon. In the program lineup unveiled Thursday by Comic-Con International, the “Twilight” sequel panel takes place after the “Avatar” session.

I’m not complaining for myself (I might be able to get into Hall H through industry connections or what-not). I’m complaining for the 4,000-6,000 people that will likely be shut out of these awesome Hall H presentations in order for Twilighters to save their seats for the Summit panel.

What could be done to avoid this potentially disastrous situation? I would suggest that they move the Twilight panel to the beginning of the day and clear out the hall afterwards. If Comic-Con did this, it would solve everything. But we’re only two weeks away from show-time. The event schedule is live on the official Comic-Con website, and I’m sure the programs have already printed, so I’m not sure any schedule shifts would be possible.

Another potential solution would be to publicly announce that Hall H would be cleared out following the Avatar presentation. This would create a separate Twilight line for the Summit presentation, which would allow the non-Twilighters to see the two 3D panels.

Studios spend tens of thousands of dollars flying out talent for panels and preparing breathtaking clips for these massive presentations, which are specifically designed to get the positive word out on upcoming films. It would be a shame for Disney and Fox if their failure to anticipate Twilight madness cost them a precious opportunity to reach their target audience. Then again, similar oversights have happened before.

I'm not sure why people even go to Comic-Con anymore, as  it sounds like it is nothing but a massive clusterfuck.  Yes you get to see some big stars and big directors, but it's not like they are signing autographs or doing anything other than promoting their most recent project for about 45 minutes.  And apparently you have to wait in line for literally hours to get into any of the panels anyway.

I am surprised and aghast to learn that Comic Con does not, as a matter of policy, clear out the audience of every single panel after it is over.  I go to DragonCon and it probably gets about half the attendance of the San Diego show, but even they have common sense not to let people crash an early panel just because they want good seats for a later panel.

12:45-2:00pm: "Avatar"
The first public screening of footage in 3D. James Cameron, Jon Landau, Sigourney Weaver and Zoe Saldana will appear for a Q&A. Hall H.

Must...have...TRON...details.

[ManaByte]

Comic-Con 2009 officially (and I stress officially) starts with Disney’s 3-D panel with the promise of TRON, ALICE IN WONDERLAND and A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Upon entering the hall the first thing that happened to me was a trampling as Twilight Moms physically pushed me aside in their dash to the front of the hall. I guess the call of Edward and Jacob was strong. That was all forgiven when I was handed a pair of 3-D glasses a FLYNN’S ARCADE Token. Awesome. On the back is says “Home of Tron.” I love you Comic-Con!

There’s a new movie-theater sized screen above the panel now and all the square screens hanging from the ceiling for the cheap seats are new as well, silver-backed and 3-D.

The presentation started with a “Put on your 3-D glasses now” and gave us a Dolby 3D countdown which got massive cheers from the audience.

I'll flesh this out after the panel ends (still continuing) but I wanted to start with this, straight from Robert Zemeckis' mouth:

He couldn't confirm or deny ROGER RABBIT 2... BUT he said if it DID happen that all the 2D toons would REMAIN 2D. That doesn't mean there wouldn't be 3-D animation (Pixar characters maybe?), but he wanted us to know that he's not upgrading the characters.

Stay tuned for pics and further panel details... Burton's talking now... TRON up next!

 

[ManaByte]

I have a music midterm due, and I can't even concentrate until I hear about Tron. Fuck everything else at Comic Con. I must know about Tron.

Music midterm?

Yes, you know for school. Just a general ed requirement.

TRON: LEGACY

TRON: LEGACY the official title of the sequel. From Jeff Bridges: "It's basically a story about a son's search for his father. The first TRON... when we made that in '81 there was no internet. Cell phones were these big things you carried around in a suitcase! So what you saw was so new and fresh... I can guarantee you'll get the same kind of pop with this one!"

OMG THE DUDE WAS THERE. FLYNN LIVES!

Hedlund as Flynn's son pulls up to his father's condemned arcade, and the scene milks some genuine - and surprising - tension using, wait for it, a Journey song.

Flynn's son enters an arcade full of old arcade games sporting dust covers. He moves further into the room, as Journey's "Separate Ways" blares from a stiil-functioning jukebox. (You were expecting Guitar Hero?).

The son explores further, past arcade games draped in plastic, to a game in the back that is still on, a game under a neon sign that reads TRON. We glimpse the young Flynn playing the original TRON arcade we pumped quarters into growing up. Flynn's son tries to drop a quarter into the slot and the game refuses it, spitting out his quarter to the floor.

Journey is still blaring from the jukebox, and the tension is really pounding. Flynn's son picks up his quarter and sees that the game conceals a secret passage behind the wall. He pushes aside the game, opens the passage, and enters - as the song continues, as the game closes in over the passage, locking Flynn inside before cutting to titles.

The panel also showed the teaser trailer from last year's SDCC, but now in 3-effin'-D. The trailer features a new Light Cycle chased by an old one of sorts, its rider sporting black and yellow grid attire as the yellow rider's light wake destroys our new rider's bike. The rider is knocked into the air and lands on the ground, stalked by the yellow rider on foot - as an older Flynn (Bridges) watches from a cliff-face lair. "You've one, alright?!" begs the new rider, as the Yellow Rider readies a disc.

"It's just a game," the new rider insists - inches from death. The yellow rider's face shield then flickers to life, revealing a digital visage of a young Flynn - before he answers "Not anymore" - and brings the disc down for a killing stroke as we cut to black.

Rounding out the panel was a sneak peek at the new world of Legacy via concept art, which blends the worlds of Blade Runner and A.I. with that of the original Tron.

Expect scenes off the grid to play a significant role in the new movie, as the panel revealed a new look for Tron City, one surrounded by very black, very rocky terrain a la the wasteland outside Zion in the Matrix movies.

Disc Wars were up next, and they get a huge evolution. We saw a rendering of a new arena for the games, which feature 16 combatants on various platforms that recombine as the matches widdle down to 2 players. The goal now for players is two-fold - strike down your opponent with the disc or score a knock out into de-res for the win.

Footage shot of an athlete engaging in awesome, beyond wire-fu Disc War moves concluded the behind-the-scenes showcase. The coolest thing about this part, aside from the guy spinning 360 in mid-air, was that he did it without the aid of wires. Without the aid of CG or a springboard. This athlete is a human Neo, apparently, which he reminded us by finishing a spin move and tossing the disc in John Woo slow motion.

TRON: Legacy was arguably the best presentation from the Disney panel, right after Johnny Depp's surprise appearance. No one knew quite what to expect, but everyone wants this movie ASAP. We all left with mouths wide in awe at a sequel that promises to make its mark in the competitive 3D landscape.

Final Destination 4 sounds AWESOME:

Following our heroes dodging death at a NASCAR event that goes wrong...ish, a spinning car tire goes airborne and lands on - and then through - the head of the movie's resident bitchy girl, who clearly doesn't complain for long.

The murderousness continues: One kid is impaled by a malfunctioning oxygen tank, which propels him into a fence, which then proceeds to dice his chest in a grid pattern. Bonus points for killing a girl via a stone caught in a lawnmower and another gold star for killing a random dude with a busted bleacher seat, which ends up stabbing the guy through his talk hole.
