Filed under: Action, Sci-Fi he wanted to sell them on another Terminator flick, he wanted to sell them on it being directed by a dude named McG and he wanted to bottle up his enormous energy and sell that too. The guy was amped up to a level just beneath "Okay this is uncomfortable," and the panel audience was virtually high-fiving him the entire time. The Footage I wasn't sure what we'd be seeing as far as footage from the film went, since they were still right in the middle of shooting and, well, you wouldn't expect anything too polished. But to my surprise they managed to throw together an enticing little two-or-so-minute teaser that was gritty, grimy, familiar and --pardon the language -- pretty f**king rad. I was too engulfed to write down every second of the thing, but it basically consisted of a number of quick snippets of gunfire, Anton Yelchin (as a young Kyle Reese) saying stuff like, "Come with me if you want to live," a little of Sam Worthington (who seems like the kind of guy that'd clock you for staring at him for more than three seconds), Moon Bloodgood (hot name for a hottie actress), Common (who I assume plays the obligatory post-apocalyptic black dude) and, of course, those T-600 robots (the film takes place in 2018, 11 years before Arnold's T-800 existed).

Filed under: Horror, Fandom, Exhibition, Movie Marketing, ComicCon All I had to hear was the name Alex Aja and I was immediately interested. The fact that the latest film (Mirrors) from the director of High Tension and The Hills Have Eyes also offers the added bonuses of Kiefer Sutherland, Amy Smart, Paula Patton, and Jason Flemyng got me doubly intrigued. Then I learned that Aja's Mirrors was set to be a seriously harsh R-rated horror thriller -- and I was hooked. So this morning I attended a very cool breakfast / press conference that Fox put together for Mirrors. We were fed fine foods, introduced to Mr. Sutherland, Ms. Smart, and Monsieur Aja, treated to four rather compelling clips from the film, and then the floor was opened to questions. We didn't actually learn all THAT much about the upcoming film -- which I consider a good thing, as I don't want the whole thing spoiled before I see it -- but the room was more or less buzzing after it witnessed a sequence known as "jaw rip." Suffice to say that Ms. Smart suffers through one hellacious bathtub experience, and then we'll just leave it at that. Really nasty stuff, but in a very cool way. Topics covered in the event included: Where Aja thinks horror is going (he's not sure, but he really hopes we're not due for another Scream-style irony session), what Ms. Smart has on the horizon (another horror flick called Seventh Moon and, of course, Crank 2), and why Kiefer chose to do a dark horror flick on his extended hiatus from 24. (He appreciates the fact that horror movies can really "strike" an audience in a way that other genres generally can't.) Mr. Aja also dropped just a few little hints about his remake of Piranha -- but all he did is reassure us that is was going to be "fun gore!" All in all, a very cool Comic-Con event for what certainly looks to be a rough, tough, and challenging horror flick. Mirrors hits theaters on August 15. Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Action, Festival Reports, Fandom, Exhibition, DIY/Filmmaking, Comic/Superhero/Geek, ComicCon Above: Rose McGowan licking blood off a sword The room was packed for the Red Sonja panel today featuring Robert Rodriguez, Rose McGowan and director Doug Aaroniokoski, and images of Rose McGowan in that skimpy metal bikini were everywhere (what you see above was one of around 2,000 t-shirts handed out. Below are easy-to-read notes on this particular panel: -- Red Sonja will hit theaters in the fourth quarter of 2009 (one imagines for Christmas) -- Robert Rodriguez is acting as a "hands on" producer, and will co-direct a good chunk of the flick. Not only is he doing this for Red Sonja, but he's also negotiating to produce a new Conan film. It seems as if they would eventually (if both are popular enough) cross promote between films. -- The tone will be darker, like the book, and when asked if it would be R rated, Rodriguez said, "My name is double 'R'!" --Also on tone and scope, McGowan (who's quite lively and quick-witted in person) said it's "hard, cold, dirty and bloody." And that she's looking forward to "taking a big giant sword and killing a lot of people." -- Training is already underway, and McGowan is working with the same swords experts who helped out on Matrix and Ninja Assassin. -- Rodriguez also admitted that Barbarella is officially off, and that Red Sonja has taken its place. He said financing of $70 million did come through from Germany for a shoot next year, but he's obligated to shoot something else for Miramax. He's negotiating right now to direct a "huge summer movie" -- but he wouldn't say which. -- On the character, Rose McGowan said: "I will not have a mullet!" The crowd cheered. -- Red Sonja will be shot on location (scouting now) and will use some green screen. -- Asked who should star in the new Conan, RR shouted: "Danny Trejo!" -- On Machete becoming a film, RR said they have plans to turn it into a Mexploitation triple feature disc (and somewhere on that disc will be a trailer for a sequel to Planet Terror.) -- On Sin City 2, Frank Miller has finished writing the script, but no one knows whether or not that's going to happen with each working on different projects. P.S. For those who think Rodriguez and McGowan aren't a couple anymore, check out this candid snapshot (taken right before RR kissed RM on the forehead). Gallery from the panel below. My opinion: It looks pretty hot, and while I've bashed McGowan in the past, I'm willing to give her a chance to kick some ass here. This will be her time to shine.

Filed under: Action, Animation, Comedy, Horror, Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Thrillers, Mystery & Suspense, Fandom, Movie Marketing, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels, Games and Game Movies, ComicCon I've been to a few conventions before, here in Philly, a couple in New York, and one hazy weekend in legendary Mesquite, Texas. Horror, sci-fi, comic books, and tons of awesome geeks enjoying their own personal flavor of colorful nerd-dom. I enjoy these events, even though my own style of fandom prohibits me from dressing up like Bib Fortuna or Jayne Cobb. (I like to be amicably cynical at these events, so if I happen to make fun of your Buffy costume, please understand it's all in good fun.) So this past weekend I spent a little while perusing through the San Diego Comic-Con schedule, and here's what I've got a red circle on: -- First off, I will try to interview the female lead of Fox's The Day the Earth Stood Still remake. I'll be bringing a pair of defibrillator paddles just in case she smiles while I'm in the room. -- There's an event focusing on the new thriller Mirrors, which I wasn't that psyched for -- until I remembered who the director was. Plus if you don't like Kiefer Sutherland I suspect you're an evil communist robot. -- The Masters of the Web Panel is either going to be hilarious or it's going to devolve into the geekiest bar brawl you've ever seen. Our own Erik Davis will be discussing the state of internet movie nerd-dom with guys from JoBlo's, CHUD, AICN, IESB, Bloody-Dee, The Movie Blog, Movieweb, Latino Review, and (of course!) Dark Horizons. And since I know most of those lunatics, this should be one amusing little discussion panel.Continue reading Comic-Con '08: Scott's Most Geekily Anticipated Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

It's the one convention too big to be contained in one episode! It's part two of the San Diego Comic-Con extravaganza, featuring Adam Hughes (All Star Wonder Woman), Rich Koslowski (The King), Kurt Busiek (Superman), Joss Whedon (Astonishing X-Men), Gene Yang (American Born Chinese), Kieron Gillen (Phonogram), Jamie McKelvie (Phonogram), Dave Stewart (Hellboy), Jeph Loeb (Wolverine), and Joe Casey (Godland). Plus convention survival tips and Gordon the Intern!

The San Diego Comic-Con is a rite of passage that is unrivaled among pop culture experiences. So iFanboy thrust themselves back into its churning masses with a giant-sized show featuring Cecil Castellucci (Plain Janes), Freddie E. Williams II (Robin), Jeffrey Brown (Incredible Change-Bots), Ethan Van Sciver (Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps), Derek McCulloch (Stagger Lee), Adam Beechen (Countdown), Scott Kurtz (PvP), Bill Willingham (Fables), and Jim Lee (All-Star Batman and Robin). Plus, Gordon the Intern on the convention floor, and this is just the first part of our two episode San Diego Comic-Con extravaganza!

No reviews since it's our big San Diego Comic-Con wrap up show. We walk you through each day of the show and tell you the sights and sounds of Nerd Prom. David Baron, DC colorist supreme, and Jason Howard, artist on The Astounding Wolf-Man join us for some quick interviews as well.

There is simply no larger convention in a year than San Diego Comic Con. Even the massive crowds of a Star Wars Celebration pale in comparison to the well over 100,000 people who gather each July in San Diego, and Arnie, Marjorie, and Scott from Tulsa added themselves to the numbers this year chasing after exclusives from Kotobukiya, Gentle Giant, and Hasbro as well as visiting panels and starting minor riots. Listen as they recall their experiences from San Diego Comic Con 2007.

The iFanboy.com Comic Book Podcast is a weekly talk show discussing the best in current comic books. Ron, Conor and Josh will share what they loved and hated about the week's comics. With a deep, sometimes scary knowledge of the depths and intricacies of pop culture and the geek lifestyle, the conversations can spin off in many directions. While comics, graphic novels and trade paperbacks are the center of the iFanboy universe, the discussion often covers the video games, movies and TV shows which will capture the fancy of your regular comic book reader. Fun, intelligent, witty and entertaining, the iFanboy crew are just as likely to agree as argue about what's good and what's bad in superhero comics, indie comics, humorous comics, and important graphic novels as well as the creators, writers and artists behind them. We've even occasionally been in the same room as guys like Brian Michael Bendis, Kurt Busiek, Warren Ellis, Jim Lee, Joe Quesada, Steve Dillon, Kevin Smith, Stan Lee and others. It was a big room, but we were in it. This podcast is so good, you don't even need to read comic books to enjoy it, but it's a lot better if you do.
