SDCC 2010: ‘Salt’ Panel With Angelina Jolie & Liev Schreiber

Posted: 27 Jul 2010 07:02 PM PDT

Considering that worldwide mega-star Angelina Jolie's new action-spy movie, Salt, was raring up for release this weekend, it seemed a bit strange that they would hold a panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2010.

Nevertheless, the panel was held and Jolie herself was in attendance (to the many dropping jaws of fanboys galore, no doubt) to promote her new venture. She was joined by Liev Schreiber, director Phillip Noyce, and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

The movie tells the story of a CIA agent who's accused of being an undercover Russian spy. The accusations force her to go on the run, trying her best to avoid being captured while also attempting to prove her innocence.

Because Salt was all but out when the panel was held, not much was shared here. It was just a cameo appearance of sorts to say hi to the Comic-Con faithful, show some footage, and answer fan questions. Things started off with trailer for the movie. Surely almost everyone there had seen something from the movie already, but it's always nice for those who are excited about a movie to see something new. [...]

SDCC 2010: Mondo Marvel Reveals Future Books

Posted: 27 Jul 2010 05:17 PM PDT

That's right Marvel Zombies, the Mondo Marvel panel at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con started off with a bang. Marvel's new Senior V.P. Creator and Content Development C.B. Cebulski announced a little over 10 new series and limited series.

This was all followed up by Brian Michael Bendis saying he was excited that the character Killraven was coming back to the mainstream. Jeph Loeb, Marvel's newly appointed Head of Television, talked about the upcoming plans for some Marvel anime project, the first of which is featuring Iron Man.

Well I should probably jump right into it then because what everyone is here for, just like at the panel, was the titles being announced. The first announcement was that a new Loki series starting in October 2010. Not many more details could be announced for this series [...]

SDCC 2010: ‘Resident Evil: Afterlife’ Panel With Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter & More

Posted: 27 Jul 2010 03:50 PM PDT

The panel for Resident Evil: Afterlife was held at Comic-Con 2010 this past weekend. This is a movie with an uphill battle in front of it due to the fact that quality has seemed to go down with each new movie released since the first, and that it's a movie that fully embraces the hostile 3D takeover currently going on.

The panel opens with the introductions of director Paul W.S. Anderson and stars Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter, and Wentworth Miller. They kick things off by premiering the exclusive look at the recently released first trailer in its 3D form. If you've not seen the regular 2D trailer, you can check it out below to see what was shown.

The first topic discussed is of course 3D, and Anderson goes into how he's always liked 3D and always thought it was a great idea. But it wasn't until James Cameron came around with Avatar that the director knew it was something really special, and that he not only needed his new movie in 3D, but he had to use the same cameras that Cameron used. He thinks eventually 3D will be the benchmark in filmmaking and he plans on making all of his movies using it from here on out. [...]

Listen Now: Ryan Reynolds Recites Green Lantern Oath

Posted: 27 Jul 2010 02:27 PM PDT

During the Warner Bros Green Lantern panel at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, the film's star Ryan Reynolds finally publicly recited the Green Lantern oath.

During the Q&A portion of the panel, a cute little very young boy wearing a Green Lantern t-shirt came up to the microphone and asked Reynolds what it felt like to say the Green Lantern oath. In response, Reynolds said he'd show him what it was like and as the crowd fell silent, he recited the oath.

In brightest day, in blackest night
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might
Beware my power... Green Lantern's light

We have it all on audio, so listen to it right here below.

Also, check out the newly released character posters from the film, as well as our extensive coverage of the Green Lantern SDCC 2010 panel, which includes a description of the footage that was shown [...]

SDCC 2010: ‘Let Me In’ Panel & Footage Description

Posted: 27 Jul 2010 01:40 PM PDT

Nothing makes true movie fans more angry than hearing about a brilliant foreign film getting an American remake, sometimes before the original is even released itself. Examples include The Ring (Ringu), The Grudge (Ju-On), Quarantine ([REC]), and the latest title, Let Me In, which is a remake of Swedish hit Let the Right One In.

The thing about Let Me In, however, is that the more people see and hear of it, the more it begins to look like it might become a legit new film. This possibility was elevated to a new level this past weekend during Comic-Con 2010, where the movie and its cast and crew made a lot of people believers.

The panel opens with a new trailer from the movie. The first trailer was decent but this new trailer really shows off how dark this movie will be, and some of the chemistry that the film's two young stars share with one another.

Next up comes the introduction of director Matt Reeves, stars Kodi Smit-McPhee, Richard Jenkins, and Chloe Moretz. [...]

‘Inception’ Infographics Explain The Film’s Levels & Kicks

Posted: 27 Jul 2010 12:21 PM PDT

Christopher Nolan's Inception is still going strong at the box office, coming in on top for the second week since it was released on July 16, 2010, making over $232 million worldwide.

Since its release, Inception has been praised by most and will probably be the most talked about movie of the year, thanks to its multiple layers and intricate plot lines. On the Inception episode of our movie podcast Flix of Doom, we spent nearly two hours analyzing the film, and other sites as well have spent hours discussing the film and writing up in depth articles on just what in the hell is going on in this movie.

What better way to explain what's happening in Inception than with an infographic or two? Two such charts are circulating online, which you can view here below. SPOILERS, of course, if you haven't seen the film. The first chart seeks to illustrate the 'kicks' from the film. The second is a chart explaining the 5 Levels from the film, along with the kicks [...]

‘Green Lantern’ Character Posters

Posted: 27 Jul 2010 10:54 AM PDT

The reaction to Green Lantern footage shown at the San Diego Comic-Con seems to be quite mixed, with some people giving it the thumbs up while others saying it was a fail.

No footage from Green Lantern is online as of yet, but Warner Bros has released four character posters from the film, which you can see here below.

The posters feature the film stars Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan (who becomes Green Lantern), Blake Lively as Carol Ferris, Mark Strong as Sinestro, and Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond, with each poster containing a part from the first half of the Green Lantern Oath.

When the first two posters of Hal Jordan are put together, it forms the green-rimmed Green Lantern insignia; when the other two posters of villains Sinestro and Hammond are put together, the insignia forms again, but this time the rim is tinged with yellow on Hammond's side [...]

Posted: 27 Jul 2010 08:51 AM PDT

The trailer for Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch has been released.

Watch it here below.

Also, six character posters were released, which you can see here below (click images for larger, full view).

The trailer is a shorter version of the footage that Snyder debuted this past weekend at the San Diego Comic-Con, which opened to sequences hauntingly backed by Led Zeppelin's "When The Levee Breaks." [Read SDCC 2010: Zack Snyder's 'Sucker Punch' Panel for description of the extended footage.]

The extended footage was much more captivating than this trailer, which runs about 1 1/2 minutes, so if this doesn't grab you right away, don't give up on it just yet [...]
