I'm tempted to just cut the questions out of this roundtable with Ridley Scott. At times he'll just go off on his own and answer his own question. You'll notice that several times here, not that it makes the answers any less valuable. In fact, it's amazing to… Continue reading
Recently I posted a piece detailing how George Romero and Stuart Gordon would be at Toronto this year with their new films. (Romero, In Toronto, At Midnight) Experienced TIFF attendees might have noticed that there were two films too few to fill out the… Continue reading
Robert Downey, Jr. is one of those interview subjects whose essence is somewhat lost in transcription. His diction is as nuanced as a performance, and he conveys meaning though gesture, expression and intonation…you know, the way a really good actor… Continue reading
If I ever had a moment of doubt that Jon Favreau was the man for Iron Man, I'll never feel that way again. After watching the flat-out fantastic footage he brought to Comic Con and listening to him discuss not only the character and his aims for him, but his… Continue reading
While I'm transcribing the Iron Man interviews, I thought there was a small tidbit worth passing along quickly. In several statements, Terrence Howard was discussed as the lead for a possible War Machine spin-off (no surprise), and the actor himself… Continue reading
I'm vaguely shocked to see so little talk of Pixar's upcoming Wall-E after the Disney/Pixar panel showing on Saturday. It's easy to get overshadowed by Iron Man, but with so little genuinely good film present at the con, I'd expect people to be all over this.… Continue reading
Just finished the Iron Man roundtables – full transcriptions will be up soon – but I wanted to quickly clarify what's up with Ed Norton writing The Hulk. The dirt paraphrased from Marvel Studios producer Kevin Feige goes like this: Zack Penn wrote a few… Continue reading
This is going quick so I'm going to keep the intro short. But this is the place for Hulk and Iron Man news, so here we go. 4:20 Eric Morrow from IGN takes the podium to introduce, as he says, the first ever Marvel Studios panel in Hall H. 4:22 Gale Anne Hurd.… Continue reading
I'm camping in hall H today, and while I wasn't sure it was going to be worth it, things got going fast with Neil Gaiman's announcement of Coraline details and some unexpected comedy from Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon.12:23 Neil Gaiman, Henry Selick. You can… Continue reading
I'm sold. That's all I really have to say. I'm not liveblogging this Blade Runner panel because I've just had over an hour of roudtables with guys like Syd Mead, DVD producer Charlie de Lauzirika and Ridley Scott. There's some good stuff in there (including… Continue reading
It was disappointing to sit through the entire Warner Brothers panel this morning to find not a smidgen of Dark Knight material after all. It was more frustrating to realize that the oddball Joker-oriented viral marketing campaign was continuing right outside… Continue reading
I can't let Jeremy be the only sweaty liveblogger here at the Con this year. So while there's little chance that Warner's is going to surprise us with any info today, I'm typing live from Hall H. There's a pretty pathetic Batman and Robin sitting nearby, but… Continue reading
