Comic-Con 2010 Exclusive Story: The 'Chuck' Press Room

Chuck stars Zachary Levi and Josha Gomez posing for photographs during the press room in the TV interview line

A few days ago, I spoke of the Being Human press room and the intimate feeling I got from it, and that it took place in a location a bit away from the craziness of the convention center.

My second press room - NBC's Chuck press junket - however took place in a room close to Ballroom 20 where all these shows (Chuck, Supernatural, The Big Bang Theory, Vampire Diaries, Fringe etc.) held their panels.

And this is where the experience got a bit different for me, and the press rooms became a true crazy press machine.

Exclusive Comic-Con 2010 Story: BBC America's 'Being Human' Press Room

The cast of the BBC hit show Being Human at the press junket: Aidan Turner (Mitchell), Russell Tovey (George), Sinead Keenan (Nina), and Lenora Crichlow (Annie).

The first press room I attended at Comic-Con, which is also the very first press room I have ever attended, was with the BBC America hit series Being Human.

The basic premise of the show is simple: it's about a vampire, a ghost, and now two werewolves, all living together and trying to lead a normal life - which, you can very well imagine, is not an easy task.

But I myself could not have had an easier task, as this was an absolute dream press room.

Comic-Con 2010: BBC's 'Being Human' More Human Than Supernatural

During the Being Human press conference at Comic-Con, the cast talked about their reaction to and how they felt while reading about the concept of the successful Sci-Fi show for the first time.

Actor Russell Tovey, who portrays werewolf George on the BBC series, confessed that when he first heard the concept of a show having a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost living together, he thought it sounded like a kid's show, and that it seemed like it would never work.

Comic-Con 2010: Press Rooms

Since I figured that all my news would be old news by the time I get to post something about Comic-Con, I decided to make some posts about my experiences in the press rooms, so that you get a bit of an insider's view as to what they are, how they work.

I was lucky enough to be able to attend four press rooms during this incredibly busy and crazy convention (far more crazier than I thought believe me. You think you know what you're getting yourself into when you've never gone to Comic-Con before but believe me, you do not).

Comic-Con 2010: 'Chuck's Scott Krinsky and Vic Sahay Talk Jeffster and that Blaze of Glory Video

While I had the wonderful opportunity to be in the Chuck press Room during Comic-Con, I had the immense pleasure and privilege to sit by (and I mean really, really close to) our favourite band ever - I'm talking about the absurdly fantastic Jeffster - and to ask Scott Krinsky (Jeff) and Vic Sahay (Lester) about that famous (or infamous, depending on how you see it) Blaze of Glory music video redone a la Jeffster, that was seen on the season finale of Chuck this past June.

Comic-Con 2010 The Inside Trekker Blog Status News

Since leaving for San Diego, the update status on my blog has been so irregular that I feel the need to adress that situation and let you know what's happening.

So San Diego Comic-Con has come and gone and there were many things I didn't get to see and do, but I still do have some nice things to post on this blog about my experience.

New San Diego Comic-Con 2010 'Thor' and 'Captain America' Posters Online!

Sweet mother of God! Basically that was my first thought here.

Paramount and Marvel have made some Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger posters available online to gaze at, and they are spectacularly fine! They are very comic-book like in their design - which is of course fitting.

I hope these will be available at Comic-Con in the form of goody bags or something. I fear everyone will try to get their hands on those! I may have to pull some hair out or something to get one of these. just kidding.

In the meanwhile, look at those sweet babies! (just click on them)

Do you like the posters? Or would you rather have had the usual picture type ones?

San Diego Comic-Con International 2010 Here I Come!

Hello everyone!

I'll be leaving for San Diego on Monday and will be traveling all day since I'm flying in from the East coast and have a stop in lovely Toronto. I will try to do some updates when I get there (San Diego, not Toronto) if I'm not too exhausted from the flight and travel.

Now to the good stuff.

I will be attending panels while there. Ha ha! Of course, that is the point is it not?

Not fully sure how it works, but I registered with the Comic-Con schedule from my twitter account so I think you'll be able to know where I'll generally be at if you follow me on twitter.

Take a Look at the Entertainment Weekly 'Green Lantern' Cover!

Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words.

This is a pretty awesome cover. The suit is all CGI and looks good but I wonder how it will translate on the big screen. I can't wait to see the footage that will be shown at next-week's Comic-Con!

Green Lantern will hit theaters June 17, 2011 and also stars Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaad, Tim Robbins, Mark Strong, Taika Waititi, Temuera Morrison, Angela Bassett, Jay O. Sanders, and Jon Tenney.

So, what do you think of that cover?

New Name Actor Rumoured for Hulk Role in 'The Avengers'!

And his name is Mark Ruffalo!

After the David Tennant/Adrian Brody/ Joaquin Phoenix/ Nathan Fillion story/rumour, Deadline now reports that Mark Ruffalo is in talks to play Bruce Banner a.k.a the Incredible Hulk, in The Avengers movie.

Apparently, the actor is in late-stage discussions between Marvel and his new talent agency United Talent.
[Deadline]

Seriously, my head is spinning with all these rumours. I don't know what to make of all of them and frankly, until it's officially announced, anything can go. And though I think Ruffalo is a great actor, I just don't see it. But that's just me.

What do you all think of that new development?

Official: Captain America and Thor in 3D: Good or Bad Idea?

Well, it certainly wasn't all that surprising but Marvel has announced that both Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor will be converted to 3-D towards their upcoming releases in 2011.

Seeing that most converted 3-D movies have a very terrible spotty track record is that truly a good idea? the movies are filmed in 2-D and not in stereoscopic 3-D and it can make for some bad 3-D indeed (yes, I'm talking about you *cough* Clash of the Titans *cough*).

Comic-Con 2010 News: Terra Nova Panel Cancelled

In somewhat of a bit of sad news for Sci-Fi fans all over, the panel for the upcoming Steven Spielberg TV series, Terra Nova, has been cancelled.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that it's the lack of footage that has made Fox and show producers decide to scrap the plans to hold a panel which was supposed to take place on the 23rd at 3h30pm. Star Jason O'Mara would have been present.

No available substantial footage (or no footage at all) is also the main reason why there's no A Game of Thrones and Torchwood panels this year.

Terra Nova is a show about humans going back in time about 85 million years to try and establish a new life on prehistoric earth. Production for the series wont start until September this year.

Comic-Con 2010 News: Smallville Panel Details!

I've never really talked about Smallville before on my blog, but this pertains to Comic-Con news and may interest quite a few of you.

According to Michael Ausiello:

* Tom Welling will be there! The show’s leading man and exec producer will be making his second appearance at the Con.

* Welling will be joined by returning series regulars Erica Durance, Cassidy Freeman, and Justin Hartley at the show’s panel on Sunday at 10 am.

* Showrunners Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson will also be present to answer all your burning question about the show’s 10th and final season.

* Did I mention acclaimed Smallville writer Geoff Johns will be moderating said panel discussion?

* Last but not least: You’ll be treated to an exclusive first look at the season premiere!

[Ausiello Files]

The panel will take place on July 25th. I may go take a peek if it doesn't conflict with anything else since this will be the last time Smallville will have a presence at Comic-Con since the show is entering it's final season this fall.
