Comic-Con 08: This Year's Best Panels and Footage

After I returned from the San Diego Comic-Con earlier this week, I kept getting asked countless times over what the best thing I saw was the whole time. So to answer that question for everyone, I thought I'd throw together a quick recap of this year's Comic-Con and list my favorite panels and the best footage. While I generally knew what was coming and had my eye set on a few particular films, not only did they all deliver, but there were certainly a few exciting surprises as well. This year may not go down as the greatest year in Comic-Con history, as Paramount's absence was truly felt, but it certainly will be remembered! Read on for the list of my favorite presentations and the best footage from Comic-Con 2008!

Bob $tencil's Comic-Con Dharma Initiative Video

For as long as I can remember, my fans have been asking me, "Bob, what makes you tick?" Well, to help answer that question, I thought I would document my trip to the Dharma Initiative booth on the floor of the Con, which you can see in this video. They threw everything they had at me, but I handled each question with the grace of an ox and passed with flying colors. They invited me to take the follow up test online (dharmawantsyou.com). They had all these multiple-choice answers that didn't make much sense, So I have included the answers that I would have given to those questions below. One last teaser video to hold you over until the main event early next week. Read on and enjoy this video!

Comic-Con 08: Friday the 13th Poster and Trailer Debut

We've been talking about the upcoming Friday the 13th remake for quite a while but have only recently begun to see the first photos of the new Camp Crystal Lake and its resident serial killer Jason Voorhees. I decided to catch the panel on Sunday afternoon at Comic-Con for the remake just to check out any new footage that they were showing and damn, was I in for a treat. I've never counted myself amongst the Friday the 13th fans, but after watching the trailer they put together for Comic-Con, I'll genuinely admitted that I'm pumped as hell. The way the trailer ends should leave any appreciative horror fan completely riled up for this remake. Not only do we got an early look at the previously mentioned trailer, but we've got the first high resolution look at the teaser poster straight from Comic-Con below.

Comic-Con 08: Frank Miller's The Spirit Panel Recap

Anticipation was only at about medium last week during Lionsgate's panel for The Spirit at the San Diego Comic-Con. Most people really didn't know what to expect. As for me, I found myself unimpressed with the first teaser trailer from a few months back and really needed some reassurance on it, especially from the film's writer and director Frank Miller. While Alex already live blogged the entire panel as it took place on Friday, I thought I'd recap all that took place and give my own opinion on Frank Miller's solo directorial debut. Although I wasn't exactly excited before I arrived at Comic-Con, Frank Miller's presentation has instilled just a bit more confidence in me. I truly hope it delivers!

Bob $tencil's Comic-Con Day 4 Blog!

We're on the last stretch of Bob $tencil coverage, but he's definitely still got quite a few surprises for all of us. We've posted three awesome daily video recaps (see the links below) and have added another blog today and will finish out this week with some additional videos. Bob $tencil will be bringing us a short Comic-Con recap tomorrow, another "Lost" video on Wednesday, and the granddaddy of them all, a final big Comic-Con video later on in the week. Until then, his latest blog can be found below as well as some hilarious photos from his last days on the show floor. We hope you've enjoyed Bob's coverage of the grand Comic-Con so far and hopefully you're excited for the last few updates that we'll be bringing you.

Comic-Con 08: Last Photos From the Final Hours of Geek Heaven

We began our Comic-Con 08 coverage with an extensive photo gallery from the show floor on Wednesday night, and we end our Comic-Con coverage with a set of photos from the final hours of geek heaven. With two hours left until the show floor closed until next July, I ventured back out with a camera in one hand, wallet in the other, to take some last minutes shots and pick up some last minute exclusives. What can I say, I'm a geek and I love Comic-Con as much as the next guy. Although we primarily only cover movies, I thought I'd give fans one last look at what it's like to step into geek heaven here in San Diego. So hopefully these last few photos convince just a few of you to join us next time for one of the best events all year.

Eight New Awesome Watchmen Posters from Comic-Con 08!

We're wrapping up all of our Comic-Con coverage and there's a few things that we've missed but needed to catch up on. Both Watchmen and Terminator Salvation are coming out of Comic-Con with incredible buzz, so it's with great pleasure that I present eight new Watchmen posters from the show floor that were on display at the DC Comics' booth. Thanks to our Brazilian friends at Omelete for uploading some great photos of all eight posters, as they've haven't officially hit online until now. By March next year, all eight of these (and the characters in them) will be ingrained in our minds - because after these presentation at Comic-Con, I'm expecting Watchmen to be a huge hit and a phenomenal movie. The imagery in all of these is fantastic and I commend Warner Brothers for sticking with a classic 80's style instead of going with something modern and sleek, like the posters for 300. Check them out below!

Bob $tencil's Comic-Con Day 3 Video Recap and Blog!

Bob $tencil is back yet again to deliver one of the best videos so far! If you've never been to Comic-Con, you might not know that Bob $tencil's big thing is hassling the celebs in Hall H. And so far we haven't seen much of that in his daily updates. However, here's a video showing Bob at his best, connecting two panels at Hall H with the beer that he was given during the Lost panel. Everyone seemed to love his Day 2 Recap, so check this one out too, I'm sure it'll have you laughing. Bob catches up with the writers of Lost during their panel as well as Seth Rogen from Pineapple Express. And he's relentless yet again - hard-hitting questions for both, even Rogen. They're still working on a full Comic-Con video, but here is the latest recap.

Comic-Con 08: What Exactly Is Pixar's Up All About?

Earlier today Disney presented a panel at Comic-Con on their two big upcoming animated movies: Bolt and Pixar's Up. We've already seen the trailer for Bolt, which looks absolutely hilarious, but so far we haven't heard a single peep about Up! In fact, the most we've seen is a logo, but no one even knows what it's about. Since Disney decided to break the tradition of attaching the newest trailer in front of each Pixar movie, our first glimpse of anything Up was revealed at Comic-Con this year. And damn was it a tearful introduction! Pixar's own Pete Docter, of Monsters Inc, debut some concept art and a few scenes from Up and it looks just as good as everything else we've seen from them over the years. Read on for more details.

Comic-Con 08: Awesome Terminator Salvation Updates - Rated R?!

"This is not the future my mother told me about."

The one and only big and exciting panel today was for McG's Terminator Salvation. Walking in, I was looking forward to something great, but I definitely wasn't expecting what they showed. McG took control of the crowd and in turn I'm certain this is probably going to be the most buzzed about movie coming out of Comic-Con this year. Not only didn't they show us an extended trailer with lots of awesome footage, but McG told the fans everything they wanted to hear and so much more. The biggest news of the day was that McG apparently convinced the Warner Brothers execs to let them shoot it how they want and thus it could end up being rated R in the end! Additionally, McG hinted that Arnold Schwarzenegger's T-800 model Terminator might make an appearance. I must say, this movie is really starting to look great.

Bob $tencil's Comic-Con Day 2 Video Recap and Blog!

Comic-Con 08: First Look at James McTeigue's Ninja Assassin!

Back on Thursday at Comic-Con, I finally got to see a first look at James McTeigue's Ninja Assassin, a movie I've been following for the longest time. In the film, Rain stars as Raizo, one of the deadliest ninja assassins in the world, who looks to avenge the death of his friend by betraying the clan that trained him. Not only is Rain's involvement quite exciting, but McTeigue's involvement, the same guy who directed V for Vendetta, is really what has me genuinely very excited for this. Not only did I catch up with McTeigue after the panel, but the presentation of footage was phenomenal. I really had no clue what to expect and finally wanted to see some footage and damn it looked awesome. This is every ninja fan's ultimate wet dream - an amazing assassin revenge movie complete with more ninjas that you could ever imagine.

Comic-Con 08 Live: Lionsgate Presents Frank Miller's The Spirit

After an exciting presentation in Hall H earlier in the day on Watchmen, Lionsgate is following up this afternoon with an exciting presentation on Frank Miller's adaptation of Will Eisner's The Spirit. In attendance today: Frank Miller himself, producer Deborah Del Prete, and stars Gabriel Macht, Samuel L. Jackson, and Eva Mendes. I'm excited to follow this panel live because I'm wondering whether it will be any good and hopefully they'll bring some new footage that will change my mind. We've all seen the latest weird trailer and it didn't look bad, but it also didn't really look good. Hopefully Frank Miller will bring us a fantastic adaptation of one of the most beloved comics in history. Its got a strong cast, but is that enough? Follow our live coverage of The Spirit panel below!

Comic-Con 08 Live: Warner Brothers' Watchmen Panel!

This is easily the most highly anticipated panel of all of Comic-Con this year! After Zack Snyder debuted the first amazing footage from 300 at Comic-Con back in 2006, he's back again this year with his adaptation of one of comic's most beloved and legendary works - Watchmen! Snyder will be joined by Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Patrick Wilson today and we can only imagine what kind of goodies they've brought to share with all of us. New poster? Complete scenes? An extended trailer? After watching the first trailer countless times in front of The Dark Knight, this has quickly become the movie I'm most looking forward to and I'm incredibly excited to see what Snyder has cooked up. Stay tuned and follow our live coverage below as it unfolds!

Comic-Con 08: Robert Rodriguez Presents Red Sonja with Rose McGowan!

Earlier today we attended the panel for the upcoming Red Sonja movie, scheduled for a fourth quarter release in 2009, with producer Robert Rodriguez, director Doug Aarniokoski and star Rose McGowan. This was my first ever movie panel at Comic-Con and it truly was exciting. Rodriguez was very entertaining and full of fun comments, some of which you can hear below. McGowan looked amazing and had a very humble feel to her. And director Aarniokoski just seemed real happy to be there. You're probably already familiar with this adaptation of Robert E. Howard's classic work, as it was just announced about a month ago and we published some news about it earlier today. Included below are a few of the details and updates that Rodriguez and company brought about our favorite "she-devil with a sword."

Comic-Con 08: Summit Pictures' Exclusive Look at Push

Upon our arrival here at Comic-Con, we weren't quite sure what to expect from the newly founded Summit Pictures. What I saw during their presentation earlier today, however, made me feel like they have been around for quite a while. Much to Alex's dismay, most of the fans were there for Summit's winter film Twilight. The good stuff was all before Twilight as we found out - Push delivered! Push is directed by Paul McGuigan (of Lucky # Slevin previously, a personal favorite of mine) and stars Chris Evans (Fantastic Four, Sunshine), Dakota Fanning (Man on Fire, War of the Worlds), Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond) and Camilla Belle (10,000 B.C.); all but Fanning were at the panel today. This was the second big panel in the line-up this year at Comic-Con and it surely didn't disappoint with some great footage!
