It's just too much for one person

If you have ever been to Comic Con or know someone that has been to Comic Con then you already realize it is impossible to see everything, let alone try and cover it as a single individual. Therefore, you just check out what looks best and what's most topical and you cover it the best you can. That's what I am trying to do, but obviously I have had to miss out on things such as interviews and a few other panels. Luckily there are folks out there that have been on top of it and here are a few news bits from around the Con:

The teaser trailer and a red band clip from Saw VI has debuted:

I haven't finished my write-up on the presentation and footage for James Cameron's Avatar yet, but plenty other have. Here's a few reactions: JoBlo, Dark Horizons, Coming Soon, Hollywood Elsewhere [includes some video], CHUD and Slash Film.

Disney's Head of Production Oren Aviv said, "We're going to shoot Pirates 4 in April and May of next year. We are going to release it hopefully in 2011 is the plan." He said that this time they would only be doing one movie this time that would "hopefully be the first of another trilogy." [Coming Soon]

Tim Burton announced once he's done with Alice in Wonderland, his next project will be Dark Shadows. Johnny Depp is expected to play Barnabas Collins. [Coming Soon]

Paul W.S. Anderson revealed that Resident Evil: Afterlife will be released in 3D and will kick-off a new trilogy! [Shock Til You Drop]

I posted this on my Twitter page, but on August 21 a global audience can see 15 minutes of Avatar in as many IMAX theaters as Fox can get on "Avatar Day."

Yahoo unveiled the following poster for Jonah Hex:

Yahoo also debuted new images from 2012 including the following poster:

    Avatar Day. Wow. This movie is getting so big, it now has it's own holiday.

    We don't need pirates 4

  3. adu

    we need Pirates 4 as long as there is no Orlando Bloom and Knightly to play their repective annoying characters.

    You know 2011 is shaping up to be a huge year for blockbusters I feel. Pirates and Spideman in the summer and The Hobbit coming that december!!…it's gonna be crazy!!

    Any thoughts?

    I'm all for another Pirates, so long as it is more in the spirit of Curse of the Black Pearl. Dead Man's Chest had it's moments, but it started down the path to excess which ultimately led to that meandering mess known as At World's End.

    Jonah Hex is going to be awesome, mark my words.

  6. GregM

    @Bustray: Could… Jonah Hex could be awesome. I'm a little worried about the less-than-canon text used on the poster. Minor detail but this is the first official item we've seen.

    This article makes me Rumor Mill Roundup nostalgic.

    we dont need a sixth saw either

  8. Rob

    I wonder when Green Lantern will start being the talk of Comic Con

  9. Seiko

    Another Pirates Trilogy? Three more Resident Evil movies? I think this may be the best day of movies news in history.

    Dead Man's Chest is the best pirates movie!

  10. I love Johnny Depp. I have his pictures on my wall and rotating among my computer pictures. I even have an album I'm developing concerning him, including pictures, biography, news articles, movies, etc. I have a list of many of the movies Johnny has appeared in and I've see about 80% of them. I didn't know about him when Jumpstreet came out. I started my "lovefest" with Pirates of the Caribbean, Curse of the Black Pearl. I try to keep up with any news concerning Johnny. I would love to see Mr. Depp starr in any movie, especially the Lone Ranger side-kick and as Barnabus Collins in Dark Shadows.

    Here's to Johnny from Ernestine Mask, a 68 year old science teacher who just retired from 45 years of teaching. I have plenty time to watch Johnny. (o _ 0)
