Samuel L. Nouveaux visuels pour la série Ringer : Comic-Con Recap 2011. TinTin: Steven Spielberg & Peter Jackson Comic Con Transcript. QUESTION: Can you talk a little bit about the use of motion-capture technology in the film? PETER JACKSON: Well, the thing that we wanted to do, I mean motion-capture is not a genre, I mean it’s not a Spaghetti Western, for instance. You know, motion-capture is a tool and technique and what we tried to do was to really use both motion-capture and traditional animation to build a system by which you know, Steven and I are much more adept to live-action filmmaking.
I mean, we can’t use computers. Either of us. I can hardly send e-mail…But, we wanted to be able to walk into this sort of virtual world that we created with Tintin, with the characters, with the locations that had been built with the computer, to pick up a virtual camera and shoot a live-action movie inside this strange, hybrid, photo-real world. It wasn’t the photo-real world that was important, it was the way in which we could shoot a movie inside that world that we think the result is really interesting. Mass Effect Movie - Comic Con Update Comic-Con 2011: 'Star Wars' Fans Get First Look at Deleted Scenes (Video) Comic-Con: Captain America's Avengers Costume Debuts.
Not only does Marvel have a whole section of the Comic-Con show floor dedicated to The Avengers movie (it's a mock-up of the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier set), but they're also debuting other little surprises during the convention. Today, Captain America's new costume design from the film was unveiled. Check it out right here. It's pretty awesome: And by the way, here are some photos and a video of that Avengers display as well: Comic-Con ‘11: Charlize Theron Says She Runs Weyland-Yutani (aka The Company) In ‘Prometheus’ > The Playlist. The puzzle of Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" is slowly, but surely beginning to take a hazy shape. Earlier today, we got our first official look at the film, and the surprises keep coming.
The press conference brought out one of the film's stars, Charlize Theron and together with writer Damon Lindelof, they fielded questions about the upcoming "Alien" universe film and while we're still no closer to a full picture of what's to come, we did get a few more scraps. Most significantly, Theron revealed that her character will be at the head of The Company, the corporation known as Weyland-Yutani, who are present throughout the "Alien" films, and run the human colonies outside the solar system.
"...she is really the suit, she's the one that runs the company," Theron said about her role in the film and how it was developed. "Ridley always kind of grounds it and brings it back to reality. "Ridley and I were sitting right across from each other talking about each scene. "There were massive screens. Comic-Con: What We Thought of J.J. Abrams' Alcatraz - TV Preview at IGN. The pilot for FOX's new J.J. Abrams/Elizabeth Sarnoff (Lost) series Alcatraz screened at the San Diego Comic-Con in Ballroom 20 on Wednesday night and there was no way that IGN wasn't going to stop by to check out what could be the newest "new Lost" series since the last time they tried to make a "new Lost" series. Alcatraz is good, but not great. The episode doesn't really pick up until the last third, and the rest of it, unfortunately, is spent showing us what we already know the premise to be.
We know the show is about a group of prisoners that mysteriously vanished from Alcatraz 50 years ago so some of the suspenseful scenes – most specifically the opening scene – don't have that much "umph" because it's all stuff we knew heading into the show. After the initial flashback to The Rock and the discovery of a bunch of empty prison cells, we then follow Detective Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones) and Diego Soto (Jorge Garcia) as they investigate the death of a former federal agent. 70 Images From Comic-Con Preview Night Including MIB3, GHOST RIDER 2, Movie Props, DeLoreans, BATMAN, SPIDER-MAN.
With Comic-Con officially underway, I just got back from Preview Night and after the jump you can check out about 70 images from the Convention Floor. Like previous years, Preview Night was packed with people trying to buy all the Convention exclusives, as well as tons of kids, parents, and people in cosplay walking the floor. While I didn’t get to see everything tonight, I tried to stop by all the major booths and snapped photos of movie props from Batman and Inception, Men in Black 3 stuff, The Amazing Spider-Man, Johnny Blaze’s motorcycle from Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, two different DeLoreans from Back to the Future, and, of course, I got two Slave Leia’s…. Finally, starting tomorrow I’ve lined up a ton of exclusive interviews.
Make sure to check back all throughout the day as we’ve got most of the Collider staff here and we’ll be covering all the panels and doing tons of interviews. It’s about to get crazy. TERRA NOVA - Comic-Con Teaser. CONFIRMED: No Major Marvel Studios Hall H Appearance At San Diego Comic Con This Year! It was already rumoured that Marvel Studios (along with several other major studios) would be scaling back their presence at the annual event due to the expense and lack of benefits their appearance generates.
Now, we have confirmation that Marvel Studios definitely don't have anything major planned for SDCC '11, meaning we can pretty much rule out seeing The Avengers once again assemble on stage in Hall H! Here is an excerpt from the report over at Hero Complex. Don’t expect the Avengers to reassemble in Hall H at Comic-Con International in July. The official word from Marvel Studios is that their team will sit out the Hollywood previews in the 6,000-seat hall, where fans, bloggers and journalists from around the world come to see filmmakers and stars introduce and promote their upcoming spectacle movies.
And what of Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment? Well, as we reported a few weeks ago, they also will not have a major presence at the upcoming event in San Diego. Studios May Be Starting to Chill on Comic-Con; More Presentations Announced. One of the major reasons that the San Diego Comic-Con has become a madhouse is that the studios have made it their own. People camp out in Hall H just to see a little bit of footage from an upcoming film and to see their favorite stars quasi-up-close-and-personal. But while studios try to use the potential buzz from the Con as a spring-board, that doesn’t necessarily carry to the box office. Universal couldn’t have done a better job promoting Scott Pilgrim vs. The World at Comic-Con but it was considered a box office flop.
Kick-Ass flew on to people’s radar at Comic-Con with a killer presentation, but again: lackluster box office. TRON: Legacy went to Comic-Con three times and it didn’t cross the $200 million mark domestically (and anyone who tells you that wasn’t a serious goal for Disney is lying). And while box office doesn’t matter to me personally, it matters a lot to studio shareholders and executives. The New York Times reports that Warner Bros. won’t be bringing anything.
