#SDCC - San Diego Comic Con - The Giver

By David Massey

The Giver - The iconic and controversial novel finds a home on the screen after a decade of efforts from Jeff Bridges (exec producer / star) who had initially hoped to cast his father in the title role. In attendance were Bridges (now of age as The Giver), writer Lois Lowry, and the 2 young leads, Brenton Thwaites & Odeya Rush. We were treated to an impressive extended trailer summing up a film that is admittedly young-adult focused but with some substance and teeth. Rounding out the cast of this disturbingly antiseptic dystopia are Meryl Streep & Alexander Skarsgard.

#SDCC San Diego Comic Con - Dreamworks Animation Panel

By Adam Ruhl

Dreamworks Animation premiered their new slate in Hall H Thursday morning. Footage was shown from Home and Madagascar. Here are the details and some of the shots we were able to get of the panels. (Note: more photos will be added to this article later today)

Home - A nomadic alien race takes over the earth. An outcast alien named 'Oh' (Jim Parsons) befriends a little girl (Rihanna) and is pursued by the evil capt smeck (Steve Martin) based on a book by Adam Rex. Looks really funny, kind of a softer version of Invader Zim.

B.O.O. - June 2015 - seems to a kind of ghostbusters story. No footage was shown. starring Bill Murray, Seth rogan

Penguins of Madagascar - thanksgiving - the penguins are back in their own adventure. starring John malcovich and Benedict Cumberbatch.

#SDCC: #Superman vs. #Batman vs. #Predator

Breaking news coming out of the San Diego Comic Convention hit ears yesterday; some may find this breaking movie news simply interesting, others may feel it more important than Man landing on the moon.  Depending on who you talk to, though, mention Batman and Superman in the same sentence, and things get heinous.  People will literally start throwing punches over who is better [1].  With DC Entertainment's announcement yesterday, however, we can finally all relax and break bread together because the two DC juggernauts are going to appear in an upcoming movie TOGETHER (Man of Steel 2, or Man of 2teel). OOOOH WAH AH AH AH!!!!

This opens up the door to a myriad of possibilities!  I (Alan Trehern) don't want to jump to Crisis on Infinite Earths storylines, but seriously, what are they waiting for?  You're halfway there!  Just get an Earth-2 going and you're money.  In all seriousness, I'm just happy to see DC get their act together and start organizing the way Marvel does cinematically.  Also, let's see Scarlett Johansson as Supergirl; a total no brainer.

What are your thoughts on the new crossover?  Will they manage an epic, or will we have retractable ice-skates slash our faces all over again?

#SDCC: Predator versus Godzilla

Haha, not really, but I just made a butt-load of millions coming up with the next crossover script.  Studios are just buying titles now right?  Great.

Anyway, the news I stumbled upon today involves the events at San Diego Comic Con 2013.  According to CBR.com [1], the studios producing the next Predator (20th Century Fox) and Godzilla (Legendary) films will be bringing some teaser stuff.  I think the Godzilla director is actually bringing 40 seconds of footage; that 40 seconds could include everything from the monster in full-frame burning down Tokyo, or a glass of water with ripples and a dino-stomping noise (see 1993 to 1998).  Either way, don't even talk to me unless your sentence begins and ends with "Mechagodzilla."

The other film (?) being teased is Predator-related.  They've posted an image on the official Predators Facebook page, cause you know, everyone is still subscribing to updates about a movie from 2010 (see above).  I can't really find any substantial evidence that a new Predator movie is coming soon, just rumors, but perhaps Legendary is using SDCC to do that.  Or maybe it's not a film!  A video game?  Television series?  Fan fiction?  Until we have anything official, though, I wouldn't get to da choppah just yet.
