Comic Con News.
Good News: Jodie Foster will be there. Bad News: The event has already taken the life of a Twilight fan. Run over by a car.
Here's the schedule per Lainey Gossip's column.
Dork Storm 2012: Return to Dork Forest (aka, Comic-Con)
Thursday
Finally figuring out how to handle the toxic mix of Twihards and comic geeks, the convention organizers scheduled Twilight first on Thursday in Hall H at 12:45pm. There will be footage from Breaking Dawn Part 2 and a “cast and filmmaker” Q&A. They’re being cute sitting on the panel roster but come on. It’s the last year for what’s been a very successful franchise. Everyone is showing up for this one.
Next up at 2:05pm is the Disney panel, featuring Tim Burton presenting Frankenweenie, Sam Raimi and The Great and Powerful Oz and the cast of Wreck It Ralph, which looks awesome. I’m most stoked for Ralph, which is like an 80’s baby’s dream movie. And it should be an entertaining panel with John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman and director Rich Moore (alumnus of Futurama). I’m really curious to see how Silverman handles the Comic Con stage, especially when on Disney’s leash. I’m kind of hoping for a train wreck. Is that mean?
Hall H wraps up with The Expendables 2, which I can’t even talk about. The panel, to include Jean Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren and Arnold Schwarzenegger, should be similarly unintelligible.
The best of Ballroom 20 on Thursday are the panels for the CBS US adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, with stars Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu, and the Dexter panel closing out the day. Dexter is going to tease season 2 of Homeland, too. I’m curious to see the Sherlock footage. I’m not super stoked for that show, but I do really, really love Lucy Liu. I want it to be good for her sake.
