Tron: Legacy (Walt Disney Pictures)
During the Tron: Legacy panel, the crowd was treated to eight full
minutes of footage of the upcoming Disney film. In it we got to see
Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), right after he's been thrust into the
cyber word, which is Tron. The visuals are amazing, and the scope of
the digital city is truly epic. I think it's safe to say that Tron:
Legacy is going to be the movie to see this winter.
Tron: Legacy opens on December 17.
New Trailer from Comic Con:
Green Lantern (Warner Bros.)
On the convention floor, Warner Bros. gave Comic-Con goers a
first and up close look at Abin Sur, the alien that passes the ring of
power onto Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds). There will be even more news on
Green Lantern, when they hold their panel on Saturday at 11:45 a.m. in
Hall H. Green Lantern opens on June 17, 2011.
Jackass 3-D (MTV Films)
Finally a movie truly worthy of 3-D!
Here's the first publicity still released at Con:
Predators (20th Century Fox)
Sadly, Robert Rodriguez announced today that 20th Century Fox will be
releasing a sequel to this month's new Predator incarnation. I know,
not everyone disliked the new movie, but let's be honest; it was crap,
and I'm sure Predators: Electric Boogaloo isn't going to be much better.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (Universal Pictures)
At the panel for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, director/co-writer Edgar
Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Spaced) announced that a
surprise secret screening was about to take place. He then lead the
audience from Hall H, and through the streets of San Diego to a
theater not far from the Con. Let me just say, that this is hands down
the best movie of the summer! In the movie Scott Pilgrim (Michael
Cera) must fight and defeat his new girlfriend Ramona's (Mary
Elizabeth Winstead) seven evil exes. It's Superbad meets
Streetfighter! Buy your tickets now! No, really!
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World opens August 13.
And for people in San Diego, don't miss:
