Megan Fox, Johnny Depp And More On Comic-Con 2009



As fans expected, the studios delivered tons of fresh looks at the coolest gadgets, characters and footage from the most talked-about upcoming flicks.

The festivities got under way with Seth Rogen's reveal of the souped-up, machine gun-enhanced '66 Chrysler Imperial that he'll be handling in his upcoming adaptation of "The Green Hornet."

Fans also got a chance to view footage from the newly named "Tron Legacy," featuring a lightcycle race, an appearance by star Jeff Bridges and generally drool-inducing visual effects.

The king of 2007's Con, "Iron Man," delivered some stellar footage from the sequel, including shots of War Machine, complete with armor and a massive array of weapons. Don Cheadle told us that War Machine's presence in the film will be "significant."

Tim Burton and surprise guest Johnny Depp showed off a teaser trailer for "Alice in Wonderland" and discussed all the wacky characters that populate the film.



After a decade of work on his sci-fi revolution "Avatar," director James Cameron talked about the fresh footage he would unveil at the Con and how the film would indeed live up to the hype.

The sneak peeks went on and on, including a preview from producer Peter Jackson's dark, gun-toting, aliens-trapped-on-Earth saga "District 9"; a new poster for "Jonah Hex," revealing the scar-faced, gun toting Josh Brolin alongside co-star Megan Fox; and much, much more.

The Con also delivered a steady stream of casting updates. We learned that in "Green Hornet," Cameron Diaz would play Casey, a secretary to Britt Reid, and Nicolas Cage will become the gangster Chudnofsky.



In what could make for a strange sight, director Robert Rodriguez talked to us about the possibility of casting Robert De Niro and Lindsay Lohan in his film "Machete."

What about this talk of Superman without Superman
? That is, Brandon Routh possibly being replaced by another actor for the role of the Man of Steel? "That's a tough question to ask, but I trust that everything goes as planned, and I'd love to return to the character," Routh told us. "I love the character and loved working with Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, and I'd be happy to come back."

David Tennant
of "Doctor Who" fame denied that he's being considered to play the lead in Guillermo del Toro's "The Hobbit." And the animated adventure "Astro Boy" got two new voice actors — Samuel L. Jackson and Charlize Theron — though we don't yet know which characters they'll be playing.



The Stars Speak

"New Moon" stars discuss such things as Bella and Jacob's chemistry, Kristen Stewart's manic-depressive journey in the film and all the screen time Robert Pattinson will receive.





Megan Fox
, of the upcoming films "Jennifer's Body" and "Jonah Hex," proved her geek cred and talked about who is truly the hottest actress at the Con.

Scarlett Johansson
wouldn't tell if her "Iron Man" character, Black Widow, is meant to be a hero or a villain. Similarly, Cameron Diaz did her best to keep her lips sealed about her role in "Green Hornet." And Denzel Washington mused about the possibility of on one day playing Barack Obama.

In the end, the Con served its primary purpose: getting us pumped to see all this great pop-culture entertainment. But when?

While Gary Oldman told us that he expects shooting to begin on another "Batman" film next year, writer David Goyer told us that we shouldn't expect filming to begin so soon.

"Superman Returns"
vet James Marsden told us "there's always hope" for a new Man of Steel film. Director Matthew Vaughn expects "Kick-Ass" to hit theaters in the first quarter of 2010.




And one of the producers of ABC's "Lost," which is entering its final season, said, "We've worked so hard to basically do something that we didn't feel had ever been done before, which was take a highly mythologized show and arguing for an end date three years out."

There was a Total Solar Eclipse in China yesterday



I remember some years ago I watched a Total Solar Eclipse, it was awesome - all the people were standing and watching how the sun became the moon in a few minutes.

The 13th Annual Webby Celebration took place in NY on June 8, 2009



Jimmy Fallon accepted his Webby Person of the Year Award with a nod to his Late Night predecessor, saying “Thank God Conan got promoted.” The talk show host won the award—considered the Internet’s version of an Oscar—for using the Web, including a blog and Twitter, to interact with fans and prepare for his Late Night takeover.

Before the ceremony, held in New York City on June 8, Fallon elaborated on Conan O’Brien’s promotion and his first week as host of The Tonight Show. “Loved it. It’s a good lead-in for us,” Fallon said. “It’s strong, it’s young, and our numbers are staying strong.”

Fallon’s former SNL castmate, Seth Meyers, hosted the ceremony for the second consecutive year and talked about the Webbys' growing popularity. “I know it’ll really be a big deal when I’m no longer a big enough name to host it,” he joked.

Other winners included Lisa Kudrow
for her comedic performance as Dr. Fiona Wallace in online series Web Therapy, about a therapist who video chats with her patients. But Kudrow hopes e-therapy doesn’t become the next Twitter. “A therapist doing online therapy…to do three five-minute sessions? It’s a really bad idea!” she said.

Sarah Silverman took home the best actress prize for her two of her viral videos, the YouTube hit “I’m F----ing Matt Damon” and her call-to-action commercial “The Great Schlep,” which asked Jewish kids to visit their grandparents in Florida and convince them to vote for Barack Obama.

And since the Webby’s celebrate everything online, Arianna Huffington, who won for best political blog, used her five-word speech to defend TheHuffingtonPost.com’s domination over print media: “I didn’t kill newspapers, OK?”

Cannes winner - Haneke's 'The White Ribbon'


“The White Ribbon” (”Das Weisse Band“)is directed and written by Michael Haneke.
The movie stars Susanne Lothar, Ulrich Tukur, Theo Trebs, Michael Schenk, Leonie Benesch, Josef Bierbichler, Rainer Bock, Christian Friedel, Burghart Klaussner, Steffi Kuhnert and Ursina Lardi.

Some reviews:

“…The film works on several levels – as a story of hypocritical adults and their unbalanced children, a picture of patriarchal community life and a snapshot of how 20th century Germany was shaped…
“…Of course, this being Haneke, there is nothing as simple as a reveal in which the culprits are unveiled. Instead, he takes pleasure in the tensions along the way and the catastrophic repression behind every sentence uttered. The villagers of The White Ribbon are quite the most disturbed ensemble of characters to emerge from a film-maker’s mind in some years…
“…But all is not as straightforward as it seems. The possibility that the children themselves have become monsters bears chilling implications for the events which will take place in Germany over the following 30 years.” ScreenDaily

“Pairing visual mastery with a quietly immersive story, “The White Ribbon” plays like a morbid version of “Our Town,” patiently revealing the inward discord beneath the surface of a settled community. It’s a frightening depiction of mortality.” IndieWire

“…This dark, dark indictment of the Protestent German psyche in a small rural village as Europe hurtles to war should be a must-see for arthouse audiences everywhere…” Screen DailyBlog - Fionnuala Halligan
