2009 San Diego Comic Con - the 40th Anniversary

Never know where to put this as it really encompasses the Hollywood influence now with films, tv and video games... especially with panels. So hopefully this stays here unless a mod deems otherwise. There's just too much information to spread this over 4 forums.

btw, you are shit out of luck if you haven't gotten a pass yet. I know some of you here attend, so I hope to see you at the usual spot on preview night before the madness starts.

Anyways... the programming schedule is out for Thursday, July 23.

Some Thursday highlights:
Spoiler:

11:00-12:30 Disney: 3D Panel— Walt Disney Pictures presents key filmmakers, select cast members and previously unseen footage from its upcoming slate, including Disney’s A Christmas Carol, Alice In Wonderland and Tron.

12:45-2:00 20th Century Fox and James Cameron present Avatar— In this first public screening of footage in 3D from his much-anticipated action/adventure/fantasy, James Cameron, producer Jon Landau, and cast members take you to a spectacular new world beyond imagination. Conceived 14 years ago and over four years in the making, Avatar breaks new ground in delivering a fully immersive, emotional story and reinvents the movie-going experience. Hall H

2:00-3:00 Sony Pictures Animation: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs— In 2009, Columbia Pictures' and Sony Pictures Animation's Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs will be the most delicious event since macaroni met cheese.

Thompson, and directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord. Room 6BCF

Surprise members of the cast will answer your questions about the second film in the series and debut never-before-seen footage from the new film. Hall H

2:30-3:30 USA Network's Burn Notice— Bruce Campbell (Sam Axe), Matt Nix (creator and executive producer) and Alfredo Barrios, Jr. (co-executive producer) host a panel discussion and answer questions about the creative process of evolving an embryonic idea into a finished episode of cable's #1 hit show.

Basically: a discussion with women who kick ass. Ballroom 20

4:45-5:45 Legend of the Seeker— A sneak peek at the highly anticipated second season of the action-adventure series Legend of the Seeker from executive producers Ken Biller (Star Trek: Voyager), Sam Raimi (Spider-Man), Rob Tapert (Xena), Ned Nalle (Hercules), and Josh Donen (Drag Me to Hell) and starring Craig Horner, Bridget Regan and Bruce Spence.

6:30-7:00 Focus Features: Thirst— Focus Features and Comic-Con present a rare U.S. appearance by acclaimed Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook, whose "scandalous vampire melodrama" Thirst just won the Prix du Jury (Jury Prize) at the 2009 Cannes International Film Festival.

I'll try to update this post when more information comes...

I always want to go, but once I'm reminded of how much of a clusterfuck the entire thing is I end up passing.

Maybe next year...

I'm going on Friday and Saturday this year, so no preview night for me. I really want to see the Avatar footage.

Re: 2009 San Diego Comic Con - the 40th Anniversary

Hope you have better luck with this thread than I had last year.

Due to smaller staff, I can't take Wed-Fri off this year. I have Weds off and I get off work at 10am on Thurs/Fri. That means no getting in line early for Hall H. Hopefully Saturday will be great and I can camp out again

It always gets exciting once the programming schedules start to roll out. btw, there are 2 Facebook groups and 1 MySpace group. We're organizing a MySpace meet-up on Preview Night at 9:30pm at The Neighborhood.

devilshalo, if you're interested, I think the usual gang is going to meet at the usual spot after badge pick-up.

I bet you have a hard time getting into the Avatar and EW panels. I'm iffy on the amount of people that go to that Burn Notice panel, but then again it is CC and Bruce Campbell so it will probably be full.

Yeah, I'll be going to that. I won't even be in San Diego till Friday, so if I found someone with a pass they're not using it still wouldn't do me any good.

Looks like other than Coraline and Mighty Boosh, I'll be in Hall H all day Friday.

Is there going to be another Otter meet? I so want to get into the Avatar screening, but I fear the Twilight fanatics may clog up Hall H in anticipation for the next panel...

Re: 2009 San Diego Comic Con - the 40th Anniversary

The exclusives this year seem pretty weak. The only one I want is the alternate Enterprise-D replica, which I found is available on the dealer's website bundled with a replica regular Enterprise-D for savings, so I ordered that. Better to have it shipped to me than have to lug that around the con all day.

Only if you're shooting for EW and I can hang or help you set up equipment.

In the past, a few of us have met at a designated eating establishment after we've picked up our 4-day badges. Suprmallet can't make it this year, devilshalo hasn't said ya or nay yet but I think Mboyd will be there.

Due to varying interests, and sudden changes to the programming schedules, it's very difficult to schedule a meet once Con starts.

I don't see much reason to go Saturday or Sunday. Is Scarlett Johansson enough of a reason?

Wish I planned better for this. This year's Comic Con is around my birthday and it would've been great to go with my girlfriend.

Oh well, there's always next year. We would've loved to check out that Dexter Panel.
