Comic-Con 2010: Del Toro's Don't Be Afraid of the Dark Scares

There are definitely some loyal fans to the horror genre out there who keep turning out for films like Saw, Hostel, Final Destination and all of their sequels. But for every one of those fans, there are also others who find the genre to be in a sad state, with crappy sequels and cheap "horror" films. But thank the maker for a filmmaker like Guillermo Del Toro who not only creates intricate and amazing worlds out of nothing, but brings genuine scares back to the cinema. This time del Toro showed up with first-time director Troy Nixey to tease their remake of the 1973 TV movie Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, and holy sh*t was I afraid of it.

Comic-Con 2010: Jon Favreau's Cowboys & Aliens Kicked Ass

By Alex Billington

One big panel that totally blew everyone away, us included, this year at Comic-Con 2010 was Universal's panel for Cowboys & Aliens, the new Jon Favreau movie that's being shot as we speak. Although they've only been shooting for about four weeks, Favreau made an appearance and brought the entire cast in, and I mean the entire cast: Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell and Adam Beach. And yes, even Harrison Ford made his first ever Comic-Con appearance (we talk more about it in the video below) and as you can tell by my tweets, even I was excited to see him. But of course, we got to see some footage, so how was it?

First Full Trailer for Tokyopop Movie 'Priest' with Paul Bettany

By Alex Billington

Okay, here's a trailer you just have to watch. A few days ago I caught the beginning of ScreenGem's panel for Priest, the new Tokyopop adaptation starring Paul Bettany. Unfortunately this futuristic vampire action-thriller is from the exact same team that brought us Legion, which looked (and was) so terrible that I didn't even care to see it. However, this trailer kicks ass, I'm seriously impressed, I actually really want to see this. I love the futuristic look of it, and the action just looks epic and entertaining. Maybe Legion was a chance for them to gain experience and this is the real movie they wanted to deliver. Who knows? Just check this out!

Super 8 Rocket Poppeteers Ice Cream Truck Lands in San Diego

By Alex Billington

Now this is great surprise. A few days back I started hearing rumblings that an ice cream truck for Rocket Poppeteers was roaming through the streets of San Diego. Wait a minute - who or what or why is Rocket Poppeteers? Well, if you're a hardcore J.J. Abrams fan and love virals, you may remember after the initial debut of the trailer for Super 8, Abrams' new sci-fi movie, a website was discovered that contained a server with media on it. When unlocked, fans discovered a newspaper article that not-so-coincidentally had an ad on it for Rocket Poppeteers. Some predicted this would be the new Slusho, and it definitely looks like it will.

Must Watch: Latest Official Trailer for Matt Reeves' Let Me In

By Alex Billington

Yesterday, Tim and I raved about the footage we saw at Hammer Films' presentation for Matt Reeves' Let Me In, the Let the Right One In remake starring Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass) and Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road). Although the two clips we saw won't be online, the new trailer that they showed at the beginning has officially hit the web courtesy of MTV. Considering this is the very first official US trailer for this movie (that isn't international), I'm sure the MPAA has made sure it isn't too intense (unfortunately). However, this is a great trailer and it does show you the dark, intense nature of this new take on Let the Right One In. Enjoy!

Review: Salt is Full of Stupid Action, Emphasis on the Stupidity

By Jeremy Kirk

There's a flimsiness to Sony's new political action-thriller, Salt, a feeling that, if any of the actors stomped down hard enough on the floor, they would break the screenplay into a million, stupid, little pieces. Well - it's anything but bland. That side effect of Salt seems to have carried over from the mineral. Director Phillip Noyce, when he isn't shooting hand-to-hand combat (we'll get to that in a bit), has a keen eye for action scenery. The quick-paced editing the three editors (yes, three) bring to the table sets the perfect cadence for the brisk film, and you can't ever accuse it of boring you. That and the solidity Angeline Jolie brings to her

Marvel Studios just rocked Comic-Con like never before. In the history of this fine convention, nothing has ever been this incredibly epic and this exciting. At the finale of their otherwise awesome panel highlighting Captain America and Thor, Kevin Feige brought the ENTIRE crew of The Avengers down to San Diego to make an appearance. Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Clark Gregg as Coulson, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner. And at the helm is Joss Whedon.

It's time. The final movie panel of Comic-Con 2010 is about to begin (after a delay due to an incident) and it's a big one - Marvel Studios. It's so huge, that in the Comic-Con guide they wouldn't even list who was showing up or what was going to be happening, we have no clue, but you can follow along as it's all revealed right here in our full live blog of the Marvel Studios panel. We're expecting footage from Kenneth Branagh's Thor and maybe Joe Johnston's Captain America, as well as some major announcements regarding The Avengers movie. We're sitting in Hall H anxiously waiting for the panel to begin. You can follow it below!

Comic-Con 2010: Matt Reeves' Let Me In Continues to Impress

By Alex Billington

We just finished watching Overture/Hammer Films' panel for Matt Reeves' Let Me In at Comic-Con today. In attendance were director Matt Reeves and actors Chloe Moretz, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Richard Jenkins (who was so great to see at Comic-Con). We all know by now that Let Me In is a remake of John Ajvide Lindqvist's incredible vampire tale, or rather vampire love story. "It's an adult story, it's a complex story, yet it falls on two 12-year-old kids to play," Reeves said regarding casting concerns. Although there's been some hesitation, based on the clips and footage today, I really think Reeves might have pulled it off.

Watch: Captain Jack's Pirates of the Caribbean Comic-Con Video

By Alex Billington

Although the Disney panel on Thursday (live blog here) morning was initially only supposed to be focused on Tron Legacy, Disney had a few surprises in store for attendees in Hall H. One of those surprises was the debut of a fun little video for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides featuring Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow chatting about the movie, including making a funny fourth-wall-breaking reference to Penélope Cruz being in the movie. I didn't expect that footage to show up online, but a clean, high quality version has appeared on YouTube (via TheMovieBox) and it looks like it's an official debut. Watch it below!

Comic-Con 2010: Full Live Blog of Warner Brothers' Big Panel

By Alex Billington

Are you ready? We are about to begin this highly anticipated presentation at Comic-Con 2010 for three of Warner Bros' upcoming movies - Green Lantern, Sucker Punch and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This is one we've been waiting for, as it means we'll probably get our first look at some actual real footage from Green Lantern (which will be interesting to see considering the reaction from the first reveal of the costume). We're also looking forward to seeing more Harry Potter footage (I can't wait!) and whatever Zack Snyder decides to show from Sucker Punch, which we recently unveiled sexy posters for a few days ago.
