SDCC: First image from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

We got our first image of Caesar from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Such a tongue twister.

Director Matt Reeves warned guests at Comic-Con that the footage of the apes was limited due to the fact that it takes 10-12 weeks to render a single ape, but we do have enough to see Caesar wearing some war paint. I still think the apes look ridiculously real. I am excited for this one.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes starts on July 18, 2014.

SDCC: Catching Fire Comic-Con trailer premieres

The new Comic-Con trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is upon us!



 I honestly think it's better than the first trailer we got. I want to see more of the other victors, but at the same time I like that they focused on Katniss and Peeta. I still highly encourage everyone to read the books prior to seeing the movie.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire hits theaters on November 22nd.

SDCC: The Walking Dead returns October 13; Season 4 trailer debuts

Today we had the panel and Q&A for AMC's The Walking Dead at Comic-Con. We not only learned that season 4 will premiere on October 13th, but we also have the first trailer for the season. It looks like things heat up quite a bit.

A lot of people, including myself, were a bit disappointed about how Season 3 ended but by the looks of this trailer... Season 4 is going to kick some serious ass.

SDCC: Kick-Ass 2: Extended NSFW Trailer Premieres

We have a new, extended trailer for Kick-Ass 2 straight from Comic-Con in San Diego. It is branded NSFW primarily due to violence and language, but other than that it's good to go. I personally think it is a bit too long and it probably showed a majority of cool stuff in the movie, but that is pretty much what trailers do these days.

Comic-Con banner for Carrie is pretty solid

From what I understand, there isn't going to be a panel for Carrie seeing that it had a presence at 2012's Comic-Con because the original release date was this past March, but it looks as though they are still going to use the promotional opportunity.

Carrie opens on October 18 and stars Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore.

Catching Fire panel for Comic-Con announced

There have been some questions about who exactly will attend Comic-Con for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire panel. We now have the answer.

The cast members attending will be Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss), Josh Hutcherson (Peeta), Liam Hemsworth (Gale), Lenny Kravitz (Cinna), Jena Malone (Johanna), Jeffrey Wright (Beetee), and Willow Shields (Primrose). Also set to attend is director Francis Lawrence. Along with the panel there will be a new trailer premiering and many websites are saying immediately after it shows at Comic-Con it will be online to watch as much as you want.

Catching Fire will have the panel in Hall H on Saturday, July 20th. Lionsgate's presentations begin at 1:45pm. The film is in theaters November 22nd.

New image for Carrie in time for Comic-Con

Thanks to Comic-Con we are getting tons of new images from movies and television. One movie that is rolling out some new stuff is Carrie starring Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore.

Carrie is due out on October 18th and will have a panel on Saturday, July 20th at San Diego Comic-Con.

New image for The Walking Dead season 4

Either someone is trying to stay anonymous or it smells awful outside. This new image from the upcoming fourth season of The Walking Dead shows Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) in a curious situation.

Season 4 will premiere on AMC this October and the show will have a panel at San Diego Comic-Con next Friday, July 19th.

Insidious: Chapter Two invites fans into The Further

Fans will have the opportunity at Comic-Con in San Diego to explore the Insidious: Chapter Two dream world, The Further.

The invitation only event will allow fans to explore the world using props, movie imagery, music, and more to create the atmosphere. The event will take place in a haunted loft on Thursday, July 18th and will have three installations between 9pm and 1am. Leigh Whannell, Jason Blum, and Angus Sampson will be in attendance to help fans uncover the secrets and enjoy the party.

Tickets will be given away only through the Insidious Facebook page. Good luck!

Back in 2011 while promoting the first Amazing Spider-Man film, Andrew Garfield shocked the audience when he appeared dressed as Spider-Man and gave a speech about his love for the character.

Other news regarding Sony's plans for Comic-Con include a detailed peek and panel for Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 along with a panel for the upcoming remake of Robocop. The panel for the animated film will feature Anna Faris, Terry Crews, and directors Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn. The panel for Robocop will feature Joel Kinnaman, Abbie Cornish, and Samuel L. Jackson.

Catching Fire set for Comic-Con International 2013

[UPDATE] Catching Fire will be in Hall H on Saturday directly after the Warner Bros. and Legendary Presentations at 1:35pm. Here is the schedule for Saturday.

 
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire has been set to appear at Comic-Con International in San Diego. There will be a panel along with a new trailer that will premiere on July 20th. You are able to visit the official Facebook page and submit questions (using the hashtag #CatchingFireComicCon)to be asked to the unannounced cast members that will attend. The panel will be moderated by Fandango correspondent Dave Karger. Catching Fire has been voted on Fandango as the most anticipated movie of 2013. It opens on November 22, 2013.

The powers that be are predicting Lionsgate will be setting up shop in Hall H and that Marvel will be holding panels the same day, so get your tents and sleeping bags ready to go. San Diego Comic-Con International is celebrating their 44th year and will be running from the evening of July 17th to July 21st.
