Watch the WonderCon ‘Thundercats’ Footage

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Over the past couple months we’ve started to hear bits and pieces about the new Thundercats series that will soon run on the Cartoon Network. The basic designs look pretty good — changed a bit, updated a bit, but still the same characters. And while I’ve never had nostalgia for the show, some of the details that are starting to trickle out suggest that the show isn’t just a nostalgia grab, but an… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : /Film Discovery Date : 04/04/2011 07:15 Number of articles : 2

Is Immortals Helmer Tarsem the Honey Badger of Directors? A Movieline Investigation

Posted on April 3, 2011 by | Leave a comment

New theory: Immortals director Tarsem Singh (excuse us, visionary director Tarsem ) is the honey badger of film directors. In an unprecedented move Saturday in San Francisco, the filmmaker behind such films as The Cell and The Fall stole the hearts and minds of WonderCon attendees away from Cowboys & Aliens helmer Jon Favreau — and mind you, Favreau is so popular that he has his own entrance music (“Back in Black,” natch). So how did visionary director Tarsem bring the house down during the panel for The Immortals , a 300 -styled movie he described as “Caravaggio meets Fight Club ?” Hit the jump for highlights from TarsemCon.

Despite it being about as fun as a tracheotomy, the Easter Bunny exposé Hop won the top spot this Friday night, sending the wibbley-wobbly timey-wimey Source Code to second place. If only you could crap candy too, Jake! And right behind dear ol’ Jake was the haunted house antics of Insidious , scoring a close number three. Your Friday box office is here.

Will Alien-Free Marketing, Lack of 3D, and Tonal Ambiguity Make Cowboys & Aliens a Tough Sell?

Posted on April 2, 2011 by | Leave a comment

When it comes to conventions, Jon Favreau is nothing if not a man of the nerd people. Mindful of how much he owes to the Comic-Con faithful for jump-starting early word of mouth on the Iron Man franchise, he came to San Francisco this weekend with a treat: Nine minutes of footage from Cowboys & Aliens cut exclusively for the WonderCon audience, including a special reveal of the film’s big, bad aliens — aliens that Favreau otherwise intends to keep under wraps.

The daffodils are in bloom, the Easter candy has been marked down 50 percent and another season of Chuck is winding down, which means that once again, it is that time of year when television’s most loyal fans unite to save NBC’ s perma-bubble spy series, Chuck . Fortunately, the show’s cast united at WonderCon in San Francisco this weekend to tell fans how they can keep Jeffster (and the longest Will They or Won’t They relationship thread) alive for a fourth season. And this time, it doesn’t involve Subway.

Christopher Nolan Brings More Inception to WonderCon

Posted on April 4, 2010 by | Leave a comment

July’s Comic-Con might be the crown jewel of the geek calendar year, but don’t sleep on WonderCon. The San Francisco comic convention—which has been a part of Comic-Con International since 2000—concludes today with a screening of the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (yep, it’s that kind of convention), but it has already proven to be worth its weight in limited edition Spider-man lithographs. That’s because on Saturday director Christopher Nolan unspooled a brand new sizzle reel for his follow-up to The Dark Knight , the heretofore mysterious Inception .
