SDCC 2007: Torchwood

BBC America was present on the first day of Comic-Con 2007 to give audiences a sneak preview of the new TV show Torchwood, a spin-off of the Doctor Who series, that will start airing in America on September 8th at 9PM. Torchwood is already shooting its second season in the UK and it’ll feature a special appearance by our very own James Marsters, as he widely discussed during his panels at Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors in New Jersey, as did writers Noel Clarke and Chris Chibnall in our exclusive interview. Well, up to a point anyway – it’d be no fun if they revealed everything now, would it?

Comic-Con Day One

It was a literal stampede when the doors open to the Warner Brothers “tower”, as they were handing out bright red-and-yellow “Smallville” bags made of a mylar weave and about the size of a Mini Cooper. They were also handing out cool cardboard shields to promote the DVD release of ‘300’ and giving out tickets to a special screening of the movie at Petco Park for 10,000 people. Fighting into the fray, I managed to snag both the bag and the shield, although when the rush began, small children and people in wheelchairs were immediately lost in the surge.

Comic-Con Wrapup – Day 1

Comic-Con started officially today with a bang. There are already a lot of people pullulating around the San Diego Convention Center, some in their civvies, some proudly wearing their colors (be those Star Trek, Firefly, Star Wars, Harry Potter… well, you get the idea) and then… and then there’s the costumes.
