SDCC 2008: Chuck

Posted by | Jul 26, 2008 | |

If the energy on the panel at this year’s Comic-Con is any indication, then the set of the NBC series, Chuck, is one of the liveliest and friendliest sets around. Because of the writer’s strike, it’s been so long since we last saw our intrepid hero and his assortment of spy and geek type friends. It was like a breath of fresh air to be back in the wacky double life of Chuck Bartowski, secret agent and not-so-secret nerd. Gracing us with their presence on the panel were producers Josh Schwartz, Chris Fedak as well as cast members Zachary Levi (Chuck), Adam Baldwin (John Casey), Yvonne Strahovski (Sarah), Joshua Gomez (Morgan), Sarah Lancaster (Ellie), and the "Awesome" Ryan McPartlin ("Captain Awesome", real name Devon). Even "Big Mike", played by Mark Christopher Lawrence, got a shout out as he sat with the NBC and WB studio folks in the audience.

Two Days, Two Joss: Comic-Con 2008 Blog Entry

Posted by | Jul 26, 2008 | , , |

Joss not singing at the Dr. Horrible panel was followed by Joss still not singing at the Dollhouse panel. There he appeared with Eliza Dushku and Tahmoh Penikett. Dollhouse looks intriguing, about the loss of memory and the search for souls, but without vampires, demons or spaceships. However, glass-covered coffin-like cryo-units are definitely involved.

Joss Whedon, Not Singing: Comic-Con 2008 Blog Entry

Posted by | Jul 25, 2008 | , , |

Despite having made something with the word "singalong" in the title, there was no singing to be had by either him or the panel that accompanied him on the Dr. Horrible stage. The cast of Dr. Horrible and the creators were there, and a DVD – plus extras, like commentary and send-in video contest – is in the near future. Joss and his cast and co-creators of this "alternative to studio financing experiment" will be there for the big-screen debut of the three acts of Dr. Horrible tonight in in Room 6B. More Dr. Horrible was hinted at, Captain Hammer comics and Sugar Shock in print form.

In the aisles of Ballroom 20, Rincewind was spotted. With the Luggage.

SDCC 2008: Spaced

Posted by | Jul 25, 2008 | |

The Comic-Con British invasion continued on Friday with a panel and screening for Spaced. What is Spaced, you may ask? It’s a UK television series from about a decade ago written by and starring Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson) and directed by Edgar Wright. The show is about Tim and Daisy, two slacker twentysomethings, who pretend to be a couple in order to rent a flat in London. There is also the militant Mike, who is Tim’s best friend, ditzy Twist, who is Daisy’s best friend, Brian the artist neighbor downstairs, and Marsha the alcoholic landlady upstairs. The series is full of the same type of pop culture references later seen in the films Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Since Simon Pegg is part of the Abrams-verse, appearing in the films Mission Impossible III and the upcoming Star Trek, and JJ Abrams is connected to the Whedon-verse via Drew Goddard and David Fury among others (not to mention yours truly being a fan of the series), we decided to cover the panel and screening.
