Hanging With The 'Twilight' Crew Backstage At Comic-Con

Posted 7/25/08 11:03 am EST by in Comic-Con


Robert PattinsonFROM MTV MOVIES BLOG: So, in case you haven't heard, Thursday's "Twilight" panel at Comic-Con was a huge honkin' success. And just moments before Stephenie Meyer, Kristen Stewart and all the rest went on stage, I got together with the stars in a private room upstairs to interview people like Robert Pattinson But since Hall H was the hardest ticket at Comic-Con to obtain, you might be wondering how I was able to get from one place to another in mere moments.

The answer is simple: "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure."

Do you remember that classic scene where Pee-Wee is trying to get onto the Warner Bros. lot to get his bicycle back? As he's trying to figure out a plan to get past security, he sees the immortal Milton Berle walking towards the gate with a huge entourage. After a moment of inspiration, he jumps into the small group and pretends to laugh at Berle's jokes while they all walk on in together. Instant access.

Posted 7/25/08 1:42 am EST by in Comic-Con, News


Robert RodriguezRobert Rodriguez is getting ready for the biggest production of his career, an epic shoot that would last a year and a half. To make room in his schedule, he's pushed back, shifted, moved, or otherwise abandoned nearly every other film on his slate. He's geeked out like he's never been geeked out before - and for this man, that's actually saying something.

Something, but not really anything. Cause good luck getting him to tell you what it is.

And, oh yeah, it's not "Sin City 2," "Barbarella," or "Conan." Read More...

'Watchmen' Hits Comic-Con And We're Inside The Owl Ship

Posted 7/24/08 4:47 pm EST by in Comic-Con, Video


It's hard to make a huge splash on the convention floor here in San Diego during Comic-Con (it takes sensory overload to a whole new level) but when you've got a "prop" like this, well...it's something special.

For years we've wondered how "Watchmen" could possibly be brought to the big screen. Forget the big screen, how about bringing Nite Owl's ship to reality! Okay, it can't fly but it's still pretty cool. Our own Larry Carroll took a quick tour of the inside and out of the ship and you can watch it in all its glory right below. Now if only we didn't have to wait until NEXT March to see it in action!

BREAKING: Keanu Reeves Is NOT Plastic Man

Posted 7/24/08 4:33 pm EST by in Comic-Con, Hot Stuff, News


Keanu Reeves & Jennifer ConnollyIt's been just a day after we finished telling you about our exclusive information about "Plastic Man," and now we can put to rest the rumor that's been spreading like wildfire for a week. Keanu Reeves just told me that while he's itching to work with the Wachowskis again, it will not be in "Plastic Man."

When I asked him point blank if it's true that he will be donning the famed goggles of Plastic Man in an upcoming flick helmed by the creators of "The Matrix," Reeves said [it's] not true for me." In fact it was pretty clear that Reeves had never even heard the rumor.

"It might be true for other people but I haven't heard anything about it," Reeves said while chatting with MTV alongside his "The Day The Earth Stood Still" co-star Jennifer Connelly.

Are you bummed that Keanu won't be Plastic Man after all? Who should play the hero for the Wachowskis?

Meanwhile, here's who else we're catching up with today:


    - First look at Robert Rodriguez's "Red Sonja" poster
