It's been rumored for months, but we now have confirmation that Marvel will not have a Hall H panel at this year's San Diego Comic-Con International. Marvel has been the star of Hall H for quite a few years now and it's a bit confusing as to why they are skipping this year.
Many are speculating this is due to Marvel's somewhat lackluster panel last year. They had attempted to use the platform to announce all of Phase Three, tease Guardians of the Galaxy, and announce Joaquin Phoenix as Doctor Strange, but his negotiations fell through just prior to the convention. As a result, they didn't reveal much at all.
However, there are a couple options why. Seeing that Marvel is a Disney owned entity now, Kevin Feige might decide to save whatever they have for the D23 Convention in Anaheim. They are Disney owned, after all. Another theory is they just don't have enough to show. Captain America: Civil War just started filming, Spider-Man hasn't begun production yet, and there is no point trying to hype Ant-Man because it's hitting next month.

What we didn't get at SDCC this year
San Diego Comic-Con was full of surprises and footage, as always, but there is still a decent amount of things that fans expected to happen that simply didn't. Here are some of the things I can think of that were absent from SDCC that either should have been there or I assumed would be there and just weren't.
1. We got nothing for Justice League
I understand Justice League is still a few years away, but I honestly expected some kind of teaser for it. A photo, a logo... something. Don't get me wrong, I managed to see a leak of the BvS footage and it looked great but I expected something for Justice League.
2. No information on future DC films
We all saw that "leak" of Warner Bros' schedule for DC films that was leaked as a Comic-Con reveal. The basic fact of it is that it didn't happen. We didn't get any confirmation of release dates, future character movies, or crossovers. It was another thing that was expected but we didn't get it.
3. No footage for Jurassic World
Most of us expected at least a teaser for Jurassic World and it did not happen. The most we got for the fourth installment was the vehicle and the posters. Universal chose to tease test footage for Skull Island and announce Godzilla 2 instead.
4. No information on Marvel's massive schedule
Sure, we got a release date for Guardians of the Galaxy 2, but we didn't get anything else. I was expecting Marvel to reveal some more release dates and do something similar to what we got last year. Marvel didn't close out Hall H with the big bang they usually do.
5. Nothing on Doctor Strange
Along with Marvel's kind of disappointing weekend, we didn't get anything regarding Doctor Strange. The role hasn't been cast yet but we have a release date and a director. I assumed we would at least get a logo.
6. Nothing for Fantastic Four
Yet another thing most people expected to be present at SDCC was completely missing. We got nothing for the reboot of Fantastic Four. I don't see any reasoning seeing that they already have a cast and everything.
Aside from not having panels for things like Mockingjay - Part 1 there were a lot of surprises this year and not all of them were good. I'm a bit disappointed with SDCC this year because it doesn't feel like we got a lot of major announcements. It was mostly panels for stuff we already knew about. There was a serious lack of excitement for the future of franchises.

Just a heads up
With all the big Comic-Con news set to hit this weekend I figured I would just put a warning out there that this blog will be a little delayed with news. I am scheduled to work this weekend into the evenings so I will try and keep up as much as I can, but I will most likely miss some stuff.
What I will probably do is do wrap-up posts for stuff that I missed and save individual posts for the major events. I also want to mention that I have somewhat joined the anti-spoiler movement and will be staying away from some things based on principle. If something seems to revealing or is excessive I will be skipping it and you can read about those things elsewhere.
That also explains my lack of posts recently regarding multiple trailers and clips for Guardians of the Galaxy and other films, like the map and plot leak for Jurassic World, because I simply feel like it spoils the movies a bit too much. Truth be told, I haven't watched or read anything about Guardians of the Galaxy since the second trailer was released. I don't like going into a theater feeling like I have already seen the best parts. I mean, we all saw what Sony did with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 with the five trailers plus photos plus clips that revealed just about every key point in the film. I think studio marketing has reached a point of being too revealing and I'm sure Comic-Con won't be any different. Simple as that.
So yeah, just a heads up on what to expect this weekend regarding SDCC as far as this blog goes. I'm bummed I can't sit glued to the news like I have in previous years, but what can you do.

First poster for Jurassic World
You'll have the first chance to pick up both variants of the poster for Jurassic World at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, but here is a peek at the new poster design by Mark Englert.
Both variants will be available at SDCC. If you text "JURASSIC" to 834567 you will get details on the poster drop. You can also follow @JurassicPark on Twitter or @JurassicWorld on Instagram.

SDCC implementing a wristband system for Hall H
San Diego Comic-Con is coming up, hence the lack of movie news lately, and it seems they have finally realized just how many people attend each year. Apparently organizers will be using a new wristband system for Hall H events this year which is hoping to give guests a more realistic idea of how likely they are to get in.
Hall H is notorious for the high scale of guests and information that is in that room. It is where the first footage for films like Man of Steel and The Avengers along with announcements for projects like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Superstar panels for superhero films, comedies, and just about everything under the sun happens in Hall H, too.
Guests have been steadily getting more irritated with the amount of people trying to enter Hall H all at once and how organizers just flood people through the doors. Last year people were camped out in line to enter on Friday afternoon and evening. SDCC organizers are saying this new system, deemed the Toucan Tracker, will give guests wristbands when they arrive in line. When Hall H is at capacity for that panel or time there will be no more wristbands distributed and whoever arrives after then won't be able to attend that panel or event. They will also be color coded based upon which number you are in line. For example, the color for the first 50 people is green. After that the color morphs to yellow. Let's say the last bundle of bands is red. By that color code you know that if you have a red wristband you are near the back of the line and will most likely be sitting in the back of the room if you can get in at all. There will be a total of four colors, but they have not revealed which colors will represent which place in line.
There is also a clause stating that if you obtain a wristband but leave the line, you are then forfeiting your spot. The only way to get around this is if you have a group and take turns leaving. As long as you have someone with the same color wristband holding your spot you can re-enter the line.
Now... this still doesn't guarantee you getting in even if you have a wristband. I will repeat that, they are not guaranteed entrance bands. Why? Well, there are those people who will stay in Hall H if they're lucky enough to get in. If you have three people who obtain the first round of wristbands for the first event in the morning and they decide to stay all day, that takes three seats away from the group of people in line for the next event and the one after that, etc. Also, there is still hope if you don't have a wristband. As soon as the last color runs out they will begin admitting non-banded guests into Hall H if space is available.
San Diego Comic-Con International kicks off next week and goes from July 24th through the 26th at the San Diego Convention Center. Schedules have been posted on their official website (here) along with a PDF of the program.

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.

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.

Entertainment Weekly reveals Comic-Con issue
We have some pretty cool covers for the upcoming Comic-Con issue of Entertainment Weekly. The magazine will feature a cover for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 along with inside covers featuring Carrie, Ender's Game, and Orphan Black.
Take a look!
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 cover features Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man and Jamie Foxx as Electro. The film comes out on May 2, 2014.
The cover for Carrie features Chloe Grace Moretz who is playing the title role. The film comes out on October 18. 2013. It was originally supposed to be released this past March, but it was delayed so it was closer to the Halloween season.
Ender's Game features Asa Butterfield as Ender and Harrison Ford as Col. Hyrum Graff. The film will be released on November 1, 2013. It is based off Orson Scott Card's 1985 novel.
Orphan Black features Tatiana Maslany for BBC America's sci-fi television series. The series premiere aired in March 2013 and was recently renewed for a second season.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 headed to Comic-Con
Hall H is starting to get pretty full. We now have confirmation that Sony is presenting The Amazing Spider-Man 2 at San Diego Comic-Con. There will be a panel consisting of Andrew Garfield, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, director Marc Webb, and producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmec.
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.

Thor and Captain America confirmed for Comic-Con
[UPDATE] Thor and Captain America will be in Hall H on Saturday, July 20th at 6pm. Here is the schedule for Saturday.
Marvel's choices for the big Hall H panels for this year's San Diego Comic-Con have been announced. Marvel will bring Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier to Hall H, and along with both panels there will be a deeper look into the ever expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Some are guessing that with Marvel announcing release dates for untitled films set for 2016 and 2017 that this special presentation will be a full Phase Three lineup that will accompany Ant-Man. Edgar Wright teased test footage for Ant-Man at last year's Comic-Con and will be present for a panel for The World's End, but there is no word yet on if he will participate in what Marvel has planned.
We also have had Kevin Feige confirm that a Doctor Strange film is next up after Ant-Man, so there could be some sort of announcement regarding that one. This could also be confirmation that The Avengers 3 will cap off Phase Three like The Avengers capped off Phase One and The Avengers 2 is rounding out Phase Two.
We shall see! No panelists have been announced for the panels but it's pretty safe to assume the cast members will show up. If I remember correctly the panel for Thor in 2011 had Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, and Kat Dennings present. I would expect this time around to be similar. Same goes for Captain America.

The Devil's Carnival back out on the road
The road show for the newest film collaboration between Terrance Zdunich and Darren Bousman is headed back on the road for another tour. The tour will begin at San Diego Comic-Con 2012 on July 13th and will end in Vancouver on August 18th.
As I have mentioned before I went to The Devil's Carnival road show in May and it was pretty worth it. Not as good as Repo! The Genetic Opera but it wasn't a total loss. If you get a chance to see it this time around I suggest going.

The Devil's Carnival to be screened at Comic Con 2012
The Devil's Carnival has been announced for Comic Con International 2012 in San Diego, CA. The itinerary looks similar to that of the road shows that took place this spring (movie screening, cast Q&A, costume contests, etc.).
I went to the road show in Denver this past May (my review of the night is here) and I think it's a fun time for any horror fan, especially those who liked Repo! The Genetic Opera. I felt a bit out of place but I did enjoy myself. Also bear in mind that this is only chapter one of this installment of The Devil's Carnival. They are working on more material for future chapters so anyone going to SD Comic Con who is interested and wants to see what it's like should check it out. Never know, the future installments might gain a little more press and popularity. I think the road tour was a success. Denver was close to a sell out and I heard other cities had packed theaters as well.

They are working on more material for future chapters so anyone going to SD Comic Con who is interested and wants to see what it's like should check it out. Never know, the future installments might gain a little more press and popularity. I think the road tour was a success. Denver was close to a sell out and I heard other cities had packed theaters as well.
