There will be no strike.
No matter what, it will be settled before the deadline.

well, remember that actors AND directors were very vocal during the WRITER’s strike, so who knows? Directors may not even show up if they support the SAG strike.

Now, i would LOVE it if there were no actors at comic-con. It would cut back on people going to the Saturday panels, and i wouldn’t have to wait in a line that wraps around the building to get into a panel that takes place at 3PM later that day. So actors, strike all you want, it makes my SDCC trip a lot easier.

Ruin Comic Con? oh cmon.. the whole point of COMIC-Con is to promote Comics, now its true that there are a few movies that derive from comics but… i sorta hated how last year Jessica alba was there, I mean, dont get me wrong, shes hot and all and i was more than willing to see her movie. But.. she was only there to promote Good Luck Chuck! (not Fantastic Four).. and correct me if im wrong.. but i have not seen nor have heard of any Comic/manga/ anything artistically related, about a guy that has a pretend curse of sleeping with women… seriously.. i go to comic con for 4 glorious days… missing a few panels isnt gonna change a %($* thing…

PS, I was there at the IronMan Panel.. (4 rows from Stan Lee, Robert Downey Jr, and Gweneth.. followed by the hulk Crew) and yeah.. those were Comic Related movies!!

uh, yes the actors being there is awesome. Robert Downey signed my Iron Man art I did last time I was there, was fucking sick.

i think you bring up a big cloud that could be cast over comic con, but then you expell it by stating the people behind the camera usually are more intersting - which i agree for most pictures, as i too would rather hear from a director any day of the week.

there are always exceptions, like the x-files 2 panel at wonder con, it was really fun to see dd & ga -all of em actually - interact with each other.

Star Trek footage!! Ok, I know nothing is confirmed, but JJ/Paramount owes us after pushing the film back to May 2009 and not attaching any new trailers in front of any summer blockbusters.

At the very least I’ll take a Cloverfield 2 teaser…

Actors do tend to seem rather bored at ComicCon, but i was really looking forward to hearing from the whole Watchmen cast, as opposed to just Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Malin Ackerman.

If actors being absent at ComicCon is the only setback for the event, it should be just fine. The movies should be able to still be presented on their content alone and not need a star to promote it. I’m much more excited about hearing what writers and directors have to say about their projects than the actors. It needs to be about the material not the star
