SDCC 2007: Lost

Posted by | Aug 1, 2007 | , |

LOST co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof and executive producer Carlton Cuse were at San Diego’s Comic-Con on Thursday to unveil the new LOST video game and to answer fan questions about upcoming seasons of the show. The capacity crowd was first treated to a short video clip entitled “Exploring the World of Others” which showed several cast and production team members talking about the show. It looked very much like a DVD extra (the season 3 DVD set comes out on December 11th). The men of the hour came out afterwards and found that their microphones didn’t work. Once that was sorted, they showed some rough cuts of the upcoming LOST video game from Ubisoft. Despite the fact that these scenes were supposed to be early renderings, characters and locations from the show were easily identifiable. The producers were eager to get to the questions, but first they explained their system for preventing inadvertent spoilers at the panel. They each had a bell that one would ring if he felt that the other was giving too much away.

SDCC 2007: Torchwood

Posted by | Jul 31, 2007 | |

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?

Posted by | Jul 31, 2007 | , |

The pressroom for the new horror movie “Hatchet” was a whirlwind of activity, and we were lucky enough to steal a few minutes with both Mercedes McNab (Harmony on “Angel” and Misty on “Hatchet”) and Tony Todd (Vyasa on the “Angel” episode “The Shroud of Rahmon”, Steve on “Shadow Puppets,” with James Marsters, and Clive “Rev. Zombie” Washington on “Hatchet”) to discuss their characters in the movie as well as reminisce about their past participation in the Whedonverse and give us the skinny on what’s next for them.

Comic-Con Day One

Posted by | Jul 28, 2007 | , |

It might be considered a good morning’s work to have snagged some much-coveted swag at the Warner Brothers booth at Comic Con, but the day was merely beginning. 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.
