If you love all things related to Tim Burton, you're in for a treat with Frankenweenie. The black-and-white stop-motion 3D animated feature was based on his original short film for Disney from 1984, and fans at Comic-Con's Hall H were treated exclusive footage from the movie, including a classroom scene that revealed the town's (New Holland) propensity for lightning and how Victor Frankenstein, the young protagonist, helps his friend, Edgar, bring a dead goldfish back to life.
Beyond: Two Souls cemented its role as one of 2013's most highly anticipated game at Comic-Con this year, with creator David Cage joining Ellen Page and Kadeem Hardison on stage for a special discussion. Moderated by IGN's Greg Miller, the trio talked about the inspiration behind the game, how it all came together and more--all without trying to give away any spoilers of the story. Boo.
The most interesting aspect learned from the panel was how Cage began writing the story of Beyond: Two Souls. Answering a fan's question, he revealed how he was led to creating a new game after a sudden death of a close family member: "It's really a shocking experience. It was so sudden, unfair and cruel and incredible, and I've never been a religious guy, (don't really believe in god) but I needed to find some meaning to this experience."
If you thought the action movie genre was dead, then you clearly weren't at The Expendables 2 panel at Comic-Con 2012. Amidst cheers from a standing audience, Geoff Boucher from the LA Times brought out writer and star Sylvester Stallone with cast members Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren and the Governator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Together, the panel discussed how the first Expendables film was a tribute to the past era of action movie stars and now, Stallone is "just trying to keep it going and bring back some true badness." So what sets the sequel apart from the first movie? Stallone promises us that The Expendables 2 will be even better, especially now that each of their characters and personalities have been established.
Also, this movie would hopefully reignite interest in the old-school action movie genre. Today's stars have what Stallone calls "velcro muscles," where they "don't have to spend their lives pumping iron"--which is totally okay, he reminded us. He was jealous of today's action stars who can do even more with CG help: "Each generation has to create their own heroes. Each generation will come and redefine what they like and who they adore."
Wreck-It Ralph fans were treated to 10 minutes of exclusive footage from the new movie at Comic-Con's Hall H today, which featured a nice homage to classic video games, a glimpse at the various lands of the gaming world, and a look at the overall storyline.
Wreck-It Ralph is the villain of the iconic 1980's video game, Fix-It Felix Jr., who destroys buildings that Felix must fix up in order to save the residents of his skyscraper apartment building. But after 20 years of playing the bad guy, Ralph has, "decided that maybe there's more to life than wrecking." Enter the usual existential mid-life crisis--and I mean usual, because everyone goes through this at least once in their life. Right? And wouldn't that include video game villains? Moore spoke about how the animated film sets Ralph on a journey to "prove that he's more than just a bad guy in an old 8-bit video game."
Epic Games showed off Fortnite at their Comic-Con 2012 panel, marking the first time the game has been seen in action since it was announced last year. Actual gameplay, scenic videos featuring landscapes, and How To Build vignettes were shown at the panel. Sadly, I was forbidden from getting footage of any of it.
The hour-long panel was filled with brand new details about the game, most shocking of which was the announcement that Fortnite would be a PC exclusive as well as the first Unreal Engine 4 based game to be released. But that wasn't the only thing we learned.
Fortnite won't be your typical $60 game. It sounds like Epic plans to roll out this game in waves, first a friends and family beta, then a closed beta, then a public beta, all the while taking in feedback from gamers. We see this model in many free-to-play MMOs, like Firefall. This obviously leads me to speculate Fortnite will be free to play. Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about Fortnite.
Love it or hate it, the Twilight saga is coming to a close, and the cast made one last Hall H appearance during the Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 Panel at Comic-Con 2012.
As the first Hall H panel of 2012, Twilight started off on a bittersweet note as host Eric Moro paid a quick tribute the Twilight fan who was tragically struck down by a car two days ago while camping out in anticipation of the panel.
After a brief moment of silence, however, the crowd began to roar as the lights went down and the Breaking Dawn 2 logo appeared on the screen.
While Comic-Con has grown into a celebrity juggernaut over the past several years, a lot of the rapid growth can be attributed to the crazy fan response when the series first debuted here four years ago in 2008. Since then, the series has stomped the box office, breaking records, but not returning to San Diego. Now, as the series comes to a close, the cast and crew made one last appearance at the show that made them famous.
Moro was joined on stage by Kristen Stewart (Bella Cullen), Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen), Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black), Mackenzie Foy (Renesmee), and author/producer Stephanie Meyer. Unfortunately, Director Bill Condon was absent due to work commitments on the film in London, but he did send a special message and introduced the first seven minutes of the film on video.
Ezio Auditore's epic trilogy comes to a close with Assassin's Creed Revelations from Ubisoft. But if you're not quite ready to say goodbye to the Florentine nobel just yet and want to spend every precious moment with him as possible, you'll definitely want to take note of the Assassin's Creed Revelations Comic-Con panel. Developers will discuss their creation of the AC universe, an intricate world of deception, conspiracy, sci-fi, fantasy, and history all in one.
The panel starts at 3:00 p.m. PST, so don't be late and follow the updates via our live blog feed of the show!
