The 38th Annual Comic-Con Event July 28, 2007

This year the 38th Annual Comic-Con Event was held in San Diego, CA. The 2-Day event was sold out and full of lots of teasers, but much to look forward to. Comic Con is everything comic releated with people wearing costumes & all. From Anime comics to cult favorites, like Star Trek & Star Wars. Giving the fans live press conferences on upcoming movies and even a special screening of the 300 movie, with 10 special guests winning a 300 themed X-Box 360. Here’s what I gathered so far:

There was talks about the Get Smart Movie. The Director was quoted saying that he envisioned this movie being a “Parallel Reality” & a “Comedic Bourne Identity”. I loved the Get Smart TV Show when I was little, so I hope they stay true to the humor.

There is another Batman movie being added to the collection-
Dark Knight
Starring Heath Ledger as The Joker & Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dewers

See trailer here
This site has the authentic Gotham City Police Report on the Joker. But there is no set release date.

Another trailer to check out this trailer for the Shoot ‘Em Up movie set to release Sept 7th, 2007. The plot goes as follows: A man named Mr. Smith (Clive Owen) delivers a woman’s baby during a shootout, and is then called upon to protect the newborn from the army of gunmen. And the main bad guy is Paul Giamatti (Sideways, American Splendor, Lady In The Water) as Mr. Hertz.

My favorite bit of news:
The Watchmen Comic will be made into a movie and will be out in theaters on March 6, 2009. Here is the official movie site here you can read the full synopsis and the cast list on the website.
