Haven't really been there, but have been an ardent follower of the now cult event. Here is some of the really good stuff revealed at this year's Comic Con:
- The next Batman movie starts filming in 2010. Gary Oldman slipped this in, but David Goyer the writer of the last 2 and supposedly the third one disagrees. But hey... I am a glass half full guy...
- Edward James Olomos of Battlestar Galactica admits that there is one loose thread to the show... "Who left Odama the letter?"... No idea what this means... Am still stuck on the second season.
- Peter Jackson giving a sneak preview of District 9... I must admit... The trailer looks bloody awesome and the movie is up for launch on the 13th of August woldwide.... Doesn't look like India might get to see it anytime soon, because its a "low budget B-grade flick".... Trust me the trailer puts all the movies spending millions of dollars on their CGI (read all Harry Potters and the unncessary post Cameron Terminators) to shame. Check it out for yourself..
- Peter Jackson also revealed that the Hobbit script is gonna be ready in a couple of weeks. In addition, if the studio approved (like hell they wouldn't... Peter Jackson and Del Toro together = scripting heaven) casting would begin soon after. (Please God no Daniel Radcliffe... not even as a spot boy on set)
- James Cameron's Avatar presentation, which from what Matt Goldberg says.. does not live up to the impossible hype, does not redefine cinema as we know it and does not cure all the disease of the world and does not give us 1000 years of peace and prosperity. However its still pretty damn good.
- Timur Bekambetov confirmed that Wanted 2 is well on its way.
- Trailer for 2012 looks amazing... Nobody destroys humanity like Roland Emmerich
- New images of Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow and Mickey Rourke as Whiplash.
