Eva Mendes: world class beauty, A-list actress, and...cradle robber? She spilled her taste for the younger kind at the panel for The Other Guys here at Hall H at Comic-Con 2010.
Up in the air! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a frequently delayed superhero movie directed by an idiosyncratic arthouse fave and starring a (formerly) pudgy, foul-mouthed, fart-based stoner! Director Michel Gondry and stars Seth Rogen, along with everyone's favorite Nazi, Christopher Waltz, are hitting Comic-Con to explain to everyone that, no, no, Ryan Reynolds is in the Green Lantern.
Fire up the Black Beauty and come join me as I liveblog their Comic-Con panel (and probably constantly accidentally type Green Horny a thousand times) starting NOW.
Michel Gondry is an eccentric choice to direct a superhero movie like the Seth Rogen starrer The Green Hornet, but perhaps the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind helmer can use his left-field sensibility to mine something new in a very crowded genre. In a chat this afternoon with Movieline at Comic-Con, Gondry sounded off on working with Rogen (and his frequent collaborator, Charlie Kaufman), Nicolas Cage's brief flirtation with the film, and why Hornet's post-production conversion to 3D is no gimmick.
Though Katie Holmes couldn't make it to Comic-Con this year (perhaps spooked by the roaming gangs of pillbox hatted Jackie Kennedys), the director and producer of her next spooky thriller Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, Guillermo Del Toro and Troy Nixey, were on hand to tell all about the scary remake. And boy is Del Toro a delightfully foul-mouthed hobbit. Here are some of his swearingiest best quotes.
It's hard to imagine a more volatile, horrifying, videotaped public crisis than that which accompanied last month's G20 summit in Toronto. But where the imagination fails, David Hasselhoff never does.
Welcome to Comic-Con, where even if you aren't tall enough to ride most rides as Six Flags, you can still get dressed up as a bat-wielding psychopath. But still be adorable!
Karl Urban isn't just a featured actor in fanboy classics like Lord of the Rings and Star Trek, but a fanboy himself -- in fact, when I chatted with him just now about his Con movies Priest and Red, he got enthusiastically sidetracked for a minute to rave about The Expendables ("I feel like I'm promoting someone else's movie!"). Still, there was nothing he was more psyched to talk about than Judge Dredd, the comic book reboot he's negotiating to topline, and he spilled the beans on some of the film's brand-new details to Movieline.
Remember how the trailer for Tron Legacy looked an awful lot like a Christopher Nolan movie? Well, you can thank Daft Punk for that since their accompanying music sounded ripped from the mind of Hans Zimmer, Inception-style. The pancake lovers did the highly anticipated score for the highly anticipated sequel and, thanks to the magic of the Internet, parts of it have appeared online. Click ahead to hear the awesome.
Clearly peeved over his disinvitation from Star Wars Celebration V and too humiliated to make the trip to Comic-Con, Darth Vader took his disaffected villain show on the road Thursday by robbing a bank on Long Island. I'm not making this up.
Nope, these aren't the latest cigarette ads from Camel. They're the new character posters for Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch! The cool part is that each recalls a different film: Harry Potter, Kill Bill, Lord of the Rings, Terminator. The bad part -- beyond the sexual exploitation of the young cast -- is the over-the-top retouching, the likes of which hasn't been seen since Sex and the City 2. Click ahead to check them out.
"What's your name, man?" Robert Rodriguez asked.
"Mike." For some reason, at least half of them were named Mike. This one was a little huskier.
"Mike, man. Cool," said the director. "Beef or chicken?"
The Scott Pilgrim vs. the World panel at Comic-Con concluded with director Edgar Wright marching most of the audience over to the Balboa Theater for a secret first screening. Both Dixon and I were there. What did we think of the film?
Other movies may have louder buzz out in the world outside of Comic Con, but here in the rarefied air of comic book geeks, dorks and other strange beasts, there's only one hero that gets their pulse racing. It's Scott Pilgrim. And he's here to kick some ex-boyfriend butt.
Join me NOW and I gain +5 experience points and liveblog Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
We're rounding the clubhouse turn here at Hall H at Comic Con with a huge shot of testosterone. It's a very, very large hall here, but I just don't know if it's equipped to handle this amount of sheer, masculine force. I think the entire building may sprout a gigantic bicep or, failing that, an extra set of balls. Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Sylvester Stallone and the cast from The Expendables.
Hey guys, sorry. I've been busy over here at Comic-Con. Busy doing what? Oh, you know: hanging out with four Jackie Kennedys and four bulging Spartacuses. Do you smell a love connection?
