Out here at Comic-Con 2011 bringing you a live blog of the press conference for Twilight Breaking Dawn, out this November. While fans still wait in line, a rather large group of press get to speak to them first and find out what to expect from their upcoming shoot and in Hall H. We should be starting any minute, we’ll keep you posted…
This is an exciting year for both ScreenCrave and myself as both a journalist and a filmmaker as I’ll be attempting to cover the festival from both angles (as if one position wasn’t hard enough already!). As always, ScreenCrave will be down there with their team to bring you breaking news and live blogs out of Hall H, videos of filmmakers and fans alike, interviews with everyone you could ever want interviews with at Comic-Con and of course photos of many of the outrageous things that go on down when adults relive their teenage years.
But! This year will also be a bit different because this year will be the first ever Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival (CCI-IFF) and by the luck of the draw and me stumbling into a group of ridiculously talented filmmakers, I will actually be in the film, The Price playing at the festival.
Like the Saturday before it, and not at all like the awesome Friday schedule, Sunday’s events at this year’s Comic-Con are a little… meh. That said, hey, there’s an It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia panel that I would kill my own grandma to attend (what? I like the show, ok?) and the annual Buffy screening, but still—looks like Friday’s the day to go. Check out the full schedule below.
The Saturday spread at this year’s Comic-Con isn’t nearly as impressive as that of the past—it’s beginning to look like the Con brought out most of the big guns for Friday’s schedule. That said, the Saturday schedule has a preview of Francis Ford Coppola’s hyper-mysterious TWIXT and, of course, the ever-present Kevin Smith has his own panel, so there’s that. Still, it’s a surprisingly underwhelming day for the mega-event, especially when one considers that Saturday has previously been the strongest day of the Con in the past. Oh, well—always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Dig the schedule below, via the official website.
Friday’s schedule is here, and it promises a number of stars. From the latest Underworld sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man, to a Tintin presentation (TBA guests), it’s one of the biggest days of the con, with names like Jeff Bridges, Colin Farrell, and Chris Elliot in attendance. The Comic-con site updates regularly. but check out the current schedule…
Geeks, start your engines, and Slave Leia’s, get to waxing! San Diego Comic Con is mere days away, and – as with tradition – their schedule is being dropped daily. Thursday is Twilight day at comic-con, as Hall H will be taken over by the Twi-hards for what should promise some new footage from Breaking Dawn. As with all comic-con announcements, there are treasures to be gleaned from the schedule.
Are you still waiting to get your badges for 2011 San Diego Comic-Con? Originally, the tickets went on sale on November 1st but due to overwhelming activity on the convention website the sale was shut down (the servers crashed). We later learned that they would announce a new date on November 8th, and here it is! Tickets will once again be available for purchase on November 22, 2010 at 6 am.
Update: Tickets for San Diego Comic-Con 2011 have been delayed. So many people stormed the official site to buy tickets that the system crashed. Ticket sales have been suspended and a new date will be announced on November 8th.
They’re here! The tickets for next summer’s San Diego Comic-Con 2011 have arrived. If you’ve never gone to the event you should know that the earlier you get your passes the better. 2010 was the fourth straight year that the San Diego Convention center reached full capacity for the event, which means everybody and their mother wants a piece! Today the tickets became available for purchase online starting at 9 am this morning.
This past weekend Comic-Con hit the big apple aka New York, and just like in San Diego, a lot of announcements were made. Everyone was there and people were getting exclusives for some of the huge projects including Harry Potter, Green Lantern, “The Vampire Diaries” and much, much more. Here’s our round-up of what went down…
