Alright guys, I thought what better way to end the COMIC-CON posts than by telling you about some of my favorite events during the COMIC-CON weekend! Secrets were revealed, unseen footage was finally seen and costumes made appearances!
Anyone else incredibly excited for Tron? I honestly feel like it's the movie I'm MOST looking forward to! COMIC-CON has been anticipating the release of this movie for the past 3 years! Giving us mini clips every year and finally this was the year we got more than just a 20 sec teaser! They revealed a whole new set of unseen footage accompanied by a new extended trailer that revealed looks for many of the gadgets used for the movie as well as the flying vehicles and new lightcycles! Not to mention, we get an exclusive look at Olivia Wilde in her Tron outfit which you can only imagine how amazing she looks! Olivia also let the fans know that although they did use special effects and green screens, a lot of the movie was actually shot in a real jumbo size set which allowed them to see everything visually as suppose to acting in front of nothing (green screen).
Pirates of the Caribbean also made a small guest appearance! Well, not exactly...Johnny Depp or should i say, Jack Sparrow, had pre-recorded a video that was played during the convention inviting fans to come out and support the next film upon its release! Oh yeah and he also mentioned the new leading lady, Penelope Cruz which made the crowd scream in excitement! The movie is set to be release May of next year!
Green Lantern of course, which i covered was a big talk not only because Ryan Reynolds is in the movie (duh!) but because everyone wanted to see the reveal of his costume! Which...didn't exactly happen?! A photo was released with only the top half of the costume visible but was later confirmed that it wasn't 100% sure that it would remain the same! The studio is thinking of changing it here and there so come next year we might see a totally different costume! On the other hand, all eyes were on Blake Lively, not because of her "talent" but because of her "assets".
It wouldn't be right if I didn't talk about Cowboys and Aliens! Of course, the cast was there and of course, Jon Favreau was there! They've only been shooting for a few weeks, but that didn't stop them from attending this year's COMIC-CON!!!!! They came by with an exclusive 8 minute clip and the fans loved it! Not to mention, this was the first time EVER that Harrison Ford has ever made an appearance at COMIC-CON!!! But before all the celebration and footage began,there was drama (ay,ay,ay) apparently two men were arguing about their seats being too close to each other's which resulted in a man being stabbed in the face by a pen! Yeap, by a pen!!!! Anyway, the man was arrested and when it was time for the cast to take their places, Harrison Ford walked out with handcuffs and two police officers escorting him out to his seat which I have to say was pretty funny! Gotta say he has a great sense of humor! Oh and p.s. Olivia Wilde is in this movie too!!!
And last but not least, Avengers!!! Fans got a HUGE surprise when the whole cast made a special appearance during a panel discussion!!! The cast and crew has only been in production for a week and somehow they managed to play a rough cut of a scene in which Hugo Weaving (as Nazi Baddle red Skull) searches for a mysterious item that links Captain America to Marvel's other 2011 property Thor, which was then followed by the cast premiering the first trailer for Thor. The most exciting moment for fans? When Mark Ruffalo joined everyone on stage and was officially declared as the new Bruce Banner/Hulk replacing Ed Norton in the role.
***Video i found from it***
Ahhhhh, so much craziness and exclusive clips happened! Wish i could sit here and tell you about ALL OF THEM! There were tons of shows promoting as well! Glee, The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, Fringe, Leverage, Community, Chuck, V, True Blood and many many more! Not to mention, Smallville of which they promised their fans, this would be "the best season yet". If you guys want to see interviews of footage from your favorite shows just google it or youtube it! I'm sure you can find it!
Had a blast and I can't wait to attend again, next year!
