Comic-Con! 7/25 part one Filed under: stuff — 11:44 am

Hey! Updating from Ballroom 20 at San Diego Comic-Con! Andy and I are having a great but busy time. Right now we’re watching the Stargate Atlantis panel and they’ve shown a clip reel of the fifth season that looks pretty exciting. Lots of enthusiastic fans.

Later this week we will be uploading video of the Summit Entertainment, 20th Century Fox, Dark Castle and Disney panels which we saw on Thursday. The Summit panel was beyond intense (despite the two leads appearing stoned) and from what I’ve seen our recording doesn’t have too much screaming.

There was a small preview of X-Men Origins Wolverine because Hugh Jackman randomly showed up with a reel! The two minutes we saw look fantastic and we got to see some snippets of characters like Gambit! I’d look forward to seeing that small preview on the Internet sometime soon.

Along with Twilight, Summit Entertainment also previewed the movies Push with Dakota Fanning and Chris Evans (the Human Torch from Fantastic Four) which seems to be an exciting action packed sci-fi movie. Dakota did well in the scenes with her that we were shown, but the action seems to be a bit repetitive to the point of annoyance. The other film they showed was Knowing with Nicholas Cage. The basic synopsis of the film is that Cage’s son discovers a number cypher that predicts all major disasters as well as the number of people who died and there’s one date on the list that’s yet to happen. It seems like this movie is just a part of the conspiracy film wave so we’ll see if it’s able to deliver.

News about Stargate Atlantis for those who know about it: The VP of Sci-Fi plans to keep Atlantis no matter what happens with Universe.

I’ll update again when the Joss Whedon panel starts!
