The Dark Knight Teaser Trailer

The Dark Knight returns in this sequel to Batman Begins. You can check out the brief teaser here, converted to an embeddable format for your enjoyment. It was released to coincide with a gathering of the Joker’s henchmen at the San Diego Comic-Con (Joker’s promo site).

Comic-Con: Pictures

I put up a web album with pictures from my visit to San Diego and Comic-Con 2006. You can check them out here. Hopefully this will tide you over until I can get a few posts up on Monday detailing Heroes, Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny, Snakes on a Plane, and a generic post or two with everything else I encountered. I have some more pictures that I may put up later on from the trip, but they are of a more personal nature.

Comic-Con: What I Would Have Seen

Plans for Saturday have been up in the air for a while, and just when it seemed I would be going it turns out that Comic-Con has closed both onsite and online registration for today. But if I had gone here’s what I would have seen:

1. Kevin Smith discussing Clerks 2. Although I’ve already seen him before and I plan to see Clerks 2 in a few days anyway. I’m a fan of the original Clerks and other Kevin Smith films, namely Chasing Amy and Dogma, and I will let you know what I think of it when I see it.
2. Marvel talking about upcoming movies based on their franchises, including Iron Man which I am eagerly anticipating. I would have found out from Jon Favreau that the villain in Iron Man will be Madarin, the man with the powerful rings. So be prepared for May 2, 2008. (Sources: 1, 2, 3) Each source says the same thing and I have no idea which one it came from first, or if it was another source entirely. I try my best folks.
3. The latest news on The 4400, including Jordan Collier return. And if I could have also gotten a press pass I would have been able to ask them questions for an hour before their public panel. I’ll print up some business cards and rectify that in the future.
4. Spider-Man 3 news and promos with special guests Tobey Maquire, and Kirsten Dunst. Venom was confirmed as the third villain in Spider-Man 3. Bruce Campbell was also confirmed as having a cameo with a new character (though that character’s name was not released). And check out the two press roundtables online: Tobey, Kirsten and Sam, Topher, Thomas and Bryce.(Source: FirstShowing.net)
5. Ghost Rider goodness with Nicholas Cage and Eva Mendes. This is something I am upset about missing and a movie I am waiting for. Wizard Universe has some good coverage of the Ghost Rider panel at Comic-Con so check it out here. SuperHeroHype also has this great post that details the two scenes shown to Comic-Con attendees. The movie opens February 16, 2007.
6. And lastly, but certainly not least, that the voice of Optimus Prime in the forthcoming live-action Transformers movie will indeed be that of the original Optimus Prime voice actor Peter Cullen. (Source)

I will be posting Sunday and Monday like I mentioned before, and I will put up a gallery with my pictures from Comic-Con. The things I do for my adoring public. I couldn’t make it to Comic-Con today but I hunted down the details so you don’t have to, but you can if you want. Peace out.

Comic-Con: Initial Experience

As my inaugural Comic-Con experience draws to a close I wanted to recap a bit of what I saw today. The exclusive 72-minute Heroes pilot was amazing. I saw a short clip/trailer for Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny and it was awesome. Attendees were blessed with an exclusive 10-minute clip from Snakes on a Plane that will not be seen anywhere else until the movie comes out. And Samuel L. Jackson is still one bad ass mother f-er.

A few full-er length posts will be coming within the next few days, along with plenty of pictures. Each point I made above will be expanded upon, along with a few other random details from The Con. Oh, and Ali Larter is as hot as ever.

Comic-Con Here I Come

It appears that I will be attending Comic-Con in a few days. I plan to take plenty of pictures and notes to write up some posts. The key areas I plan to cover are The 4400, KyleXY, Fallen, Spiderman 3, and finding any celebrities I can. If I am able to make it there on Friday I would also be covering the new show Heroes and possibly Snakes on a Plane with special guest Samuel L. Jackson. It should be very exciting and I hope to have some good stuff to report here.

Feel free to send me any questions to ask or information to find out.

Update (7/20): It looks like Friday is a definite and Saturday is a possibility. I will be attending as many events and booths as I can.
