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. [...]

Is this another scoop, and possibly large spoiler, for The Dark Knight originating from New York’s Toy Fair? It’s hard to say. A figurine for Deathstroke, a villainous mercenary, member of the Teen Titans (alongside Batgirl) and fan favorite, was recently spotted in a Mattel toy showcase for the Batman Begins sequel. Deathstroke’s figure wasn’t [...]

These photos of a promo statue for The Incredible Hulk popped up over at Cinematical and were apparently snapped at a toy fair. In what’s probably a clear indicator of the Hulk’s size in this June’s reboot starring Edward Norton, note the lady and decked-out Humvee to the statue’s right (as well as a [...]

Our friend Adam at HollywoodChicago just sent us some information about The Dark Knight happenings at Wizard World Chicago this weekend. At the conclusion of the DC Nation panel earlier today, it was announced that there will be a special panel on Saturday at 6:00pm (not 2:00pm as previously reported) in the Dave Cockrum Room. [...]

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 [...]

WALL-E is [...]

The mythical world starts a rebellion against humanity in order to rule the Earth, so Hellboy and [...]
