Update: Paramount says that no Transformers 2 or GI Joe footage will be shown at the convention.
Paramount won’t be doing any panels at Comic Con this year, but according to IESB, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will still have a presence at the convention. Apparently Paramount/Dreamworks has given Hasbro permission to show some early footage [...]

The full Thursday schedule for Comic Con 2008 has leaked onto the web over on Spout. Rather than repost the whole schedule, I thought I’d take a look at the Film and Television related panels we’re interested in attending:

First (potentially) the actors, and now it looks like Paramount has decided to sit out of this year’s San Diego Comic Con International. A Parmaount spokesman told Anne Thompson that “The timing was off this year.” Most of Paramount’s upcoming geek slate isn’t scheduled to hit theaters until 2009. Paramount might still participate with some [...]

One thing that we haven’t talked much about on /Film is the looming SAG strike (the contract expires on June 30th). And truth is the strike might directly effect your fandom more immediately than the writers strike. Our friends at Collider point out that the strike could mean that any actor with a SAG card [...]

Shock got their mitts on the first one-sheet for director Alexandre Aja’s latest horror film Mirrors. Though the poster’s design and imagery are standard for the genre, at least it doesn’t lack creepiness. We posted the teaser trailer and linked a superior video clip last week, and reader response was justifably mixed. And we should [...]

It’s no secret that the film I’m most anticipating in 2008 is Pixar’s WALL-E. I fell in love with the movie when I saw the first teaser trailer and have been closely following the film ever since.
Andrew Stanton, the Academy Award winning director of Finding Nemo, came across the bridge to San Francisco to premiere [...]

Late breaking news from the floor of WonderCon in San Francisco. The convention program features an interesting tease that features the classic Ghostbusters logo and “something exciting is coming to the neighborhood!” “Look for the big announcement at Comic Con San Diego 2008″.
Could this be an announcement regarding the upcoming Ghostbusters video game? Probably not. [...]

I don’t exactly understand how I missed it, but the trailer for Michel Gondry’s (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep) new comedy Be Kind Rewind premiered at Comic-Con last weekend. Someone taped the screen and uploaded the video to YouTube, but I could never recommend watching a handheld video taped version [...]

Jon Favreau, Robert Downey Jr and Stan Winston were on hand at Comic Con 2007 to unveil the Iron Man Mark 1 armor on the show floor. We were in Hall H for a series movie panels and missed all this madness. But thankfully my new best friend (yeah, right…) Jon Favreau caught all the [...]

Kino-Govno have posted five postcards from the BuyNLarge corporation which were passed out at Comic-Con in promotion of Disney’s WALL-E. We posted extensive coverage of the Saturday afternoon Pixar panel held at the convention, which includes a ton of new plot and character details (you can see the characters in the posters below). WALL-E is [...]

One of the few posters we missed at Comic-Con 2007 is this exclusive Hellboy 2 teaser poster illustrated by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. I definitely would have picked this one up if I  had seen it on the show-floor.
The mythical world starts a rebellion against humanity in order to rule the Earth, so Hellboy and [...]

The Iron Man footage and The Incredible Hulk reveal from Comic Con 2007 have found their way onto YouTube. The Iron Man footage is what everyone at the Con is talking about. Favreau told us that the fan reaction to the clip has convinced Paramount to go full throttle promoting the film. Check them out [...]

At the Marvel Studios panel at Comic Con 2007, it was revealed that The Incredible Hulk star Edward Norton also wrote the script.
“I came into this and I wrote the screenplay,” revealed Norton. “I was the Marvel kid. I had subscriptions to a lot of the marvel comics. I loved Hulk, the early incarnation of [...]

Disney premiered the new movie trailer for National Treasure: Book of Secrets at Comic-Con 2007. The new trailer revealed much more about the film’s plot.
A missing page from John Wilkes Booth’s diary reveals that treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage)’s great grandfather might have actually been the one responsible for Lincoln’s assassination. Gates begins [...]
