Saturday is traditionally the biggest and busiest day of Comic-Con and this year was no exception. People started lining up for The Green Lantern, Sucker Punch, Harry Potter panel at 9pm the night before! My friends got in line at 8am for the 11:45 Warner Bros. Panel and were among the last to be let in! KT and I decided to skip that madness for the still passionate, slightly smaller Chuck panel.
Chuck Panel
SPOILERS AHEAD. You've been warned. The panel opened up with an awesome highlight reel made just for the event that had the best moments of the past 3 seasons and revealed a huge spoiler for next season. Last seasoned ended with Chuck finding out his mother was in the spy business too; his mother will be played by (drumroll please!) Linda Hamilton! Famous mother of John Connor, she epitomizes a kick-ass, badass mom - perfect for Chuck! She actually heard the rumors on the fan boards that she would be the mother and thought that sounded like fun. When they approached her about it, she was kind of already on board. The search for his mom is going to be a huge part of Season 4, along with trying to get Team Bartowski back together now that Chuck has quit the CIA but remained a spy of sorts. An interesting tidbit is that while the Buy More blew up, it will be back as a completely CIA owned and operated front. There will be "Greta" - a CIA/Green Shirt at the Buy More that will be played by a new actor every week. Olivia Munn will be first, then Isiah Mustafa (Old Spice Guy), and more.
They all love working on the show and the support of the fans. Unforetunately between the video opener and the delayed start, there wasn't much time for them to talk and no time at all for fan Q&As. Even so, the panel was one of my favorite from the weekend. And it was made even better by the Chuck Tweet Up the night before, where I got to chat with other Chuck fans and the cast even made a surprise appearance! I'll post pictures later, once I find my camera cord.
Let Me In Panel
A remake of the recent Swedish film Let the Right One In, the footage looked promising but the fans didn't seem to keen on an American remake of such a recent film. The director was coming to the project as a fan of the original film and wanted to keep the tone the same - a coming of age story that also happens to be a vampire movie. I couldn't take many notes since they didn't turn up the lights, but below is the flipcam video I took:
Trailer Park
They showed nearly all trailers I had already seen, but there was one that stood out from the rest.
The Adjustment Bureau
