[Updated 7/11/12]
[Note: I saw "The Amazing Spiderman" on Independence Day but I'm behind with the review since I've been out and about with a guest in town. Hopefully I can whip it up sometime this weekend, if I'm not overloaded with... Comic-Con :-P].
Yep, it's that time of the year again! 2012 COMIC-CON starts a week early, from Wednesday evening, July 11 through Sunday, July 15.
Last year I had a blast watching previews and panels attended by stars such as Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, Kristen Stewart, Collin Farrell, Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale, Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Henry Cavill, Kellan Lutz, Luke Evans, and many more. Directors Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, Francis Ford Coppola and Tarsem Singh were also in attendance, to name a few.
Check out this year's lineup from Marvel, Warner Bros, Disney, Sony, Summit Entertainment, etc. here: http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_prog.php
While I'm not able to attend Thursday and Friday this year due to other work commitments, I will be there most of Saturday and be back with feature film highlights. Of particular interests are "Pacific Rim," Man of Steel," "The Hobbit," Iron Man 3." As well as "Total Recall" and "Looper" (although the "Total Recall" panel was already at 2011 Comic-Con last year and I caught "Looper" at WonderCon earlier in March this year). On the TV pilot shows side, "666 Park Avenue," "Arrow," "The Following," "Revolution."
I'll stop by the halls for exhibits and freebies. Check out some of the fun exhibits from last year: http://themoviemaven.posterous.com/comic-con-2011-as-seen-on-the-exhibition-floo
