There’s a lot that’s going to happen before The Avengers, and the movie itself will be jam-packed with story and action. Before we got a look at The Avengers when they assembled on-stage at Comic-Con 2010, the audience was treated to a short teaser for the upcoming team-up flick. Narrated briefly by Samuel L. Jackson [...]

Comic-Con: Best and Worst of 2010 SDCC
The 2010 San Diego Comic-Con has came and gone and we all made it out alive. Every over 100,000 fans of movies, television, video games, and comic books descend upon San Diego for four days of insanity. Comic-Con is an exhausting experience because there is SO much going on at any given time. Movie panels [...]
Comic-Con: RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE Fails to Impress
Saturday at Comic-Con was a roller coaster day full of ups and downs. The day started out strong and ended strong, but after 9+ hours in Hall H we were looking for something to excite and stimulate our minds. Unfortunately we had to sit through a panel for Resident Evil: Afterlife movie that hits theaters [...]
Comic-Con Video: Sunday Wrap Up
Ah, the last day of Comic-Con. You think it’ll be the best time to hit up the convention floor, but then you remember the schedule and how nothing huge is going on, and you walk onto the floor and immediately get accosted by a man wearing an outfit covered in spray-painted cardboard. We got some [...]
Comic-Con Video: Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting
One of my favorite days at Comic-Con was Saturday. It had everything from original stories (Zach Snyder’s Sucker Punch) to the big comic book adaptations. We spent the whole day in Hall H, and it was worth it. There were some surprises including unannounced celebrity appearances and a fight between two convention attendees resulting in [...]
Comic-Con: The Look of Comic-Con
Depending on who you are, one of the great things about San Diego Comic- Con is that fact that you can dress up as your favorite character from fiction without being judged. Some people take this liberty too far, while others actually spend their free time creating some pretty impressive costumes. I often find myself [...]
Comic-Con: Teaser Trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
After the Disney panel for Tron: Legacy this past Thursday, a special teaser trailer was shown for the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Featuring Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) the teaser was just for Comic-Con audiences. In the clip, which is just under two minutes, Captiain Jack is recruiting pirates for a voyage to [...]
Cover of the Week: SDCC Steve Rogers: Super Soldier #1 Variant
Along with action figure exclusive, San Diego Comic- Con also does some comic books as well. The offerings range from each publisher and most times the covers are pretty good. The fact that we are in San Diego has caused me to choose the SDCC Steve Rogers: Super Soldier #1 sketch variant. It shows a [...]
Comic-Con: Alien Comedy PAUL Lands in San Diego
The cast of the film Paul is quite the ensemble of comedic talent. First, there’s the writers/stars of the film, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Their last two films together (Shaun of the Dead & Hot Fuzz) are hugely popular in humor circles. They wanted to write a movie about being in America and finding [...]
Comic-Con: Jon Favreau’s COWBOYS & ALIENS Panel Featuring Harrison Ford!
One of the last star-studded panels on Saturday was for Jon Favreau’s new project Cowboys and Aliens. The Iron Man director walked out on stage, without an introduction, grabbed the mic, and got the audience of over 6,000 people really excited. Favreau knows how to command a crowd, and his energy was exactly what everyone [...]
Comic-Con: Marvel Steals the Show with Captain America, Thor, and The Avengers
About an hour has passed since I left the Marvel Studios panel at San Diego Comic- Con and my heart is still racing. After a day that started out strong and had a horrible six hour lull, Kevin Feige the President of Marvel Studios, put a rush in me that I will not soon forget. [...]
Comic-Con Video Interviews: Tron: Legacy Filmmakers
During the press junket for Tron: Legacy, Fanboyz had the opportunity to speak with some of the filmmakers from the movie. Speaking to actors about their film is interesting and insightful, but it’s only one piece of the project. The other piece is the production crew, who help bring the world of Tron to life. [...]
Comic-Con: THE AVENGERS Movie Confirmed; Mark Ruffalo to play Hulk; Whedon to Direct!
The big news of the day at San Diego Comic-Con waited until the last moment of the night during Marvel’s panel. Featuring Captain America and Thor footage, Marvel surprised the audience at the end of the panel with a special announcement. The lights went dark and on screen came a logo for The Avengers. We [...]
Comic-Con: Zack Snyder’s SUCKER PUNCH
It seems nearly impossible to describe Sucker Punch. The upcoming film, written and directed by Zack Snyder, is his first Hollywood feature based on his original content. Snyder has geek-cred for his adaptations of 300, Dawn of the Dead and Watchmen, so a new movie based on his own material is foreign territory. The panel [...]
Comic-Con: Green Lantern’s Light at Waner Brothers Panel
Hall H was ablaze today with more comic book rich film panels. First on the docket was the highly anticipated Warner Brosthers panel. Headlining this was DC Comics movie adaptation of the Green Lantern. With Entertainment Weekly’s debut of Ryan Reynolds, playing Hal Jordan, in the GL costume last week, I was a little skeptical. [...]
Comic-Con: LET ME IN Doesn’t Look Like it’ll Suck
In my opinion, the 2008 film Let the Right One In is both the best vampire movie of all time as well as the best thing to come out of Sweden. It showed that vampire movies don’t have to be vampire movies, a genre filled with sub-standard film making and shinning pretty boy wimps. Let [...]
Comic-Con: Warner Brothers Presents Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Warner Brothers always put on a great panel for San Diego Comic-Con. This year they featured the movies Green Lantern and Sucker Punch along with the seventh installment in the Harry Potter franchise titled Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The Harry Potter panel had a different format because like most other panels that feature [...]
Comic-Con: Sony Presents PRIEST, THE OTHER GUYS, AND GREEN HORNET
On Friday we attended a panel for Sony Pictures that featured their upcoming releases of Priest, The Other Guys, and Green Hornet, all of which showed us never before seen footage. Priest and Green Hornet had 3D footage and The Other Guys gave us an exclusive look at an extended trailer for the comedy which [...]
Joss Whedon Confirms Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye in THE AVENGERS
Everyone more than likely already saw this coming, but it has now been confirmed that actor Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) has been cast as Hawkeye in the upcoming movie The Avengers. There had been speculation for months that Renner would play the comic book hero, but it wasn’t until Avengers director Joss Whedon confirmed [...]
Comic-Con Video Interviews: TRON: LEGACY’s Bruce Boxleitner & Beau Garrett
Tron: Legacy has quickly become one of the most marketed and awesomely intriguing projects at Comic-Con. First, we sat in on the panel and got to see some awesome footage and the new trailer. Then, we got to be apart of the film by recording audience sounds to edit into the movie during the gladiator [...]
