Comic-Con 2010 Interview: Seth Rogen from The Green Hornet

Seth Rogen

I think it's becoming my biennial Comic-Con tradition to interview Seth Rogen at the Con. He's a big comic book fan which means he loves coming down here for the Con anyway, but it's always great to catch up with him. The first time I interviewed him was in 2008 for Pineapple Express, which was a great experience, and now he's back again for The Green Hornet, which Sony featured at their panel last night. I caught up with Seth before the panel at a hotel and chatted with him about working on The Green Hornet, now that we've actually seen the trailer for it. It's a very quick 6-minute chat with Rogen that I think is worth checking out!

Watch: First Quick Teaser for Nicolas Cage's Drive Angry 3D!

Drive Angry 3D Teaser Trailer

Yesterday, Summit Entertainment unleashed their first look at Drive Angry 3D at Comic-Con, another new Nicolas Cage movie this time all about Cage on the run driving all kinds of badass vehicles in hopes of avenging his daughter's death. Ethan covered the presentation yesterday and seemed to mostly enjoy all of the footage (despite the unnecessary 3D) and thankfully we have a bit of footage to feature today (found via Bloody-Disgusting). It's a very short 30-second long teaser trailer that only gives us a quick look at some of the scenes and action and explosions that we'll find in Drive Angry 3D, but it looks pretty good. Fire it up!

Comic-Con 2010: Rainn Wilson & Ellen Page are Gunn's 'Super'

Super

By now plenty of movie-goers are familiar with most superheroes like Superman, Spider-Man and Iron Man, and some are even familiar with other heroes that aren't that "super" like Kick-Ass or maybe Defendor. Now director James Gunn (Slither) is bringing us even lesser of a hero with Super, the story of a guy down-on-his-luck (Rainn Wilson) who attempts to win his drug addicted wife (Liv Tyler) back from a glamorous drug dealer by teaming up with a psychopathic teen (Ellen Page) and becoming costumed crimefighters. Gunn brought a scene and a special trailer cut together exclusively for Comic-Con. So what is the verdict?

Comic-Con 2010: Fincher and Giamatti Rock The Goon Panel

The Goon

After watching that badass short teaser for The Goon that debuted earlier this week, I made it a priority to stop by the panel held at Comic-Con today for the upcoming animated comic book adaptation based on Eric Powell's comics. It was a very good choice as not only was the panel thoroughly entertaining (thanks to Reno 911's Ben Garant as the moderator), but on top of that, producer David Fincher and actor Paul Giamatti showed up as well to support the indie project, which is still searching for a studio to finance and distribute the movie. They also debuted an awesome extended version of that same test footage from earlier this week.

Crazy Violent New Red Band Trailer for Danny Trejo's Machete

Machete Red Band Trailer

Although we've seen an "illegal" trailer and a very badass official trailer for the Robert Rodriguez produced grindhouse movie Machete, starring Danny Trejo as well as Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Cheech Marin, and Michelle Rodriguez, this newest red band trailer is frickin' off the hook! Just wait until you see what Machete does with some guy's intestines, holy f**kin' crap! This is one crazy, awesome, insane trailer, that only makes me want to see this movie even more. I'm sure The Expendables will also be wild, but this looks totally badass, too. There's plenty of nudity, violence, gore and so much more, so be prepared & have fun!

Comic-Con 2010: Impressive First Look at Universal's Skyline

Skyline

Sure, the thousands of Comic-Con attendees are familiar with movies like Tron Legacy, Green Hornet and Marvel's Thor. We've even featured the alien invasion movie Battle: Los Angeles, which premiered its first trailer and footage yesterday, along with the start of a viral campaign. On the opposite end of the spectrum is another alien invasion fueled flick that we haven't heard or seen much about aside from a building-size ad outside the convention center. That movie is Skyline and filmmakers/visual effects wizards Greg and Colin Strause (of Alien vs Predator: Requiem) brought one hell of a first look with a trailer that gave me chills.

Must Watch: First Teaser Trailer for Gareth Edwards' Monsters

Monsters Trailer

Magnolia has debuted the first teaser trailer (on IGN) for Gareth Edwards' Monsters, the super low-budget sci-fi alien indie film that we fell in love with at Cannes. This is the first footage from this buzzed about indie film that you've all been waiting to see, but make sure you know going in that this is actually a more intimate film about the relationship between these two people. It's not an epic sci-fi flick, there's not many fights with the aliens in it, but it's still a brilliant, fantastic film that I hope a lot of people go see later this year (starting October 29th!), as I think filmmaker Gareth Edwards accomplished some amazing things. Watch below!

Del Toro Update: NOT Directing Mansion, More Horror Next

Guillermo del Toro

So the news yesterday that Guillermo del Toro was directing The Haunted Mansion reboot for Disney got a bit screwed up. Apparently del Toro is not actually directing that movie, he's only writing/producing it for Disney. So if you're wondering what else he is doing (in place of The Hobbit), I just watched his panel for Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (another horror project he's producing) and he confirmed that coming up next is a horror movie that he will begin shooting next May, but he wouldn't reveal details (he said it would be announced sometime in the next few months). Disney confirmed the HM news with another press release.

Comic-Con 2010: Nicolas Cage Hits the Gas on Drive Angry 3D

Nicolas Cage - Drive Angry 3D

Earlier this year, the eclectic Nicolas Cage rocked audienes as the gun-toting Big Daddy in Kick-Ass which swept through Comic-Con in 2009. But this year Cage is rocking the convention by putting the pedal to the metal with Drive Angry, Patrick Lussier's 3D action follow up which is shot entirely in 3D rather than being converted in post. Comic-Con attendees were treated to a first look at the high speed extravaganza as Lussier gave us a first look at the trailer and brought along Cage, the lovely Amber Heard, as well as the commanding William Fichtner for the ride. So should you buckle up for an angry ride with Nicolas Cage?

Flynn's Arcade 2010 Leads to Tron Legacy's End of Line Club!

Tron Legacy End of Line Club

Disney has done it again. This truly is ComiTRON 2010. You may remember that at last year's Comic-Con, a viral hunt eventually lead to a vintage Flynn's Arcade, full of tons of working arcade machines and a real lightcycle on display. This year, Flynn's Arcade has returned, but not in the same way. This time, when you enter Flynn's, it's circa 2010 (e.g. from the movie) and all of the machines have been covered up with tarps. But when the hole in the wall opens, it leads to Kevin Flynn's secret work room with the laser, where we're derezed and taken inside the Tron world to the new End of Line club - which is absolutely breathtaking!

Comic-Con 2010: Danny Trejo Serves Up Machete Truck Tacos

Machete Taco Truck

This had to be one of the coolest promos I've ever seen at Comic-Con, in a very badass and fun way. Instead of doing anything for Robert Rodriguez's Machete actually at the Con, Fox decided to promote the movie off-site with a taco truck they had custom painted for the movie. On top of rolling that down here, Machete himself - Danny Trejo - was serving up tacos from the truck most of the night. When I stopped by early in the evening, I actually got my own taco served by Trejo, and it was quite delicious. I snapped a few photos of Trejo serving and the Machete truck (both sides of it painted by a local LA artist) for you to check out below.

In anticipation of the upcoming panel early on Saturday morning at Comic-Con for Snyder's Sucker Punch, Warner Bros has debuted these six sexy character banners for the movie, introducing you to the cast of badass girls and giving you a tease at the different worlds we'll be visiting in the movie (look in the background). Looks great so far!
