Comic-Con: It Begins With "TMNT," "Saw III," and More!
Geeks from across the world will converge at the San Diego Convention Center today to get their annual fix of comics, movies, and pop culture, and RT will be right there bringing you coverage of the panels, major announcements, interviews, and the daily B.O. levels from the floor (and I don't mean Box Office).
RT's Binh Ngo and Jen Yamato are in town for this year's Comic-Con International, which lasts from Thursday - Sunday, and (as always) promises loads of fun, news, and previews of the most anticipated blockbusters and genre pics of the coming year. This Comic-Con promises gore ("Saw III," "Grudge 2," "Grind House"), fantasy ("Stardust," "Pan's Labyrinth"), and animation ("The Ant Bully," "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"); there's also comic book adaptations ("Ghost Rider," "The Spirit," "Spider-Man 3") and plain-old fun ("DOA: Dead or Alive," "Borat," "Accepted," "SNAKES ON A PLANE")!
Not yer fourth-grade heroes on a half-shell..."TMNT" is coming back!
Thursday's slate includes the much-anticipated "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" panel, a preview of Sony's upcoming animation slate, and Lionsgate's presentation of "Crank," "Skinwalkers," and...ick..."Saw III." Some of the earlybirds who made it to Wednesday's preview night scored freebie "Saw III" posters, and even that was gory. If the poster's scary, how freaky will the clips be???
"Crank" star Jason Statham will ride to Comic-Con in style...and hopefully in this outfit
Keep an eyeball out (ha!) for our panel reports, blog entries, and photos (booths! babes! nerds!) from Comic-Con, and check out our friends at IGN.com, who have dived into the action with their Comic-Con index!
Thanks to their awesome preview day photo gallery, the world can now meet Amazing Lego Batman!

on Jul 20 2006 02:31 PM What about the next Batman???? Begins was incredible and by far the best comic adaptation put to screen. Brilliant cast. Yet news on this movie is either slow to come or very hush hush. I just want some reassurance they're working on it. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 20 2006 02:48 PM In reply to this comment (#840553) www.batman-on-film.com is usually the first to know about anything regarding the new Batman movies. and as far as Warner Bros. is concerned, Batman Begins 2 or whatever it will be called is a top priority for them, and there are several actors vying for the role as The Joker.

on Jul 20 2006 05:54 PM Well, if you believe the crazies over at IGN.com, there may already be a decision regarding Batman Begins 2. I'll let you check it yourself, but if you want a big hint, think about how the Joker can't quit Batman. And I've said too much . . . (Reply to this) |

on Jul 20 2006 06:54 PM The Heath Ledger rumour is not everything you've been hearing about. They say Ledger is already cast as The Joker, yet, Batman-on-Film hasn't even heard a rumour on this, heard about a screen test for Ledger and the other actors, and even the official contract signing. If the story was 100% true, then I guarantee you, that BOF would've heard something about it weeks in advance before th official announcement was made. In my thread on the Untitle Begins sequel board on Rottentomatoes, I believe that Ledger was asked if he would like to screen test for the role, and LatinoReview just blew it way out of proportion and made it out to be a "signed, sealed, and delivered" deal.

on Jul 20 2006 07:21 PM Interesting. Ledger impressed me in brokeback mountain, I wonder though if he's too masculine for the role of the Joker. In the best cartoon and comic depictions, the Joker is a gangly freak. I kind of want to see that on screen. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 20 2006 10:25 PM In reply to this comment (#840558) go watch brother's grim, ledger has potential thats all I have to say (Reply to this) |
on Jul 20 2006 10:39 PM In reply to this comment (#840559) Terrible advise, never, ever see the Brothers Grim. Terrible movie. But I just don't see Ledger as the Joker. I want someone lanky and a little creepy. I'd prefer someone nearly unknown (Reply to this) |
