What You Probably Won?t See at Comic-Con 2009b>

Now that the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday schedules have been announced for th2009 San Diego Comic-Con Internationalb>, lets take a look at some of the films that won?t be making an appearance at the conventioUniversal will not be flying out the cast and crewEdgar Wright?s Scott Pilgrim vs. The Worldld, which makes almost no sense since they'll probably be on a weekend break in Canada. (Update: I have been informed that the movie is shooting 6-day weeks, and coming to Comic-Con would mean a 2-day break from filming). Comic-Con would be the perfect place to get the buzz started on the big screen adaptation of this awesome indie comic book. Universal will also not be showing or presenting anythingRidley Scott?s Robin HoodHooDisneysney is spending too much time on the 3D and animated films that they?ve completely forgotten to bring the live actPrince of Persia: Sands of Timef The Sorcerer?s ApprenticeprentiSurrogatesrrogates (which was based on a comic book) to the cThe Weinstein Costein Co isn?Quentin Tarantino?s Inglourious Basterds us Basterds (Comic-Con seems like a better venue than UFC), nor areob Zombie?s Halloween II< Halloween II (which had a presence the first time around), the post apocalyptic dramatic thriller The Road, the big screen adaptation of Youth in Revolt (which stars Michael Cera and would be a perfect fit for the Con),ionsgate<

Lionsgateeveldine/Taylor?s Gamer</Taw VI<er, Saw VI (a series which has had a presence in past years), or the vaybreakers<

Warner Bros' big screen adaptation ofhiteout<vel Whiteout is mysteriously missing in action despite making an appearance ainja Assassin<Ninja Assassin isn?t listed on the panel line-up but might have a secret screening. Zack Snyder?s aniuardians of Ga?Hoole<ardians of Ga?Hoole al0th Century Fox<ule.

20th Century ennifer?s Body<r film Jennifer?s Body anantastic Mr. Fox<ted film Fantastic MGM< are oddly missing.

MGM doesn?t have a panel for the Joss Whe Cabin in the Woods<edy The Cabin in the Woods, although I heard there might be a special sneak preview at a press-only event (MGM denies this). The comot Tub Time Machine< comedy Hot Tub Time Machine, which also seems like perfect fit for the conreamWorks Animation<-up.

DreamWorks Animation is again completely skipping the convention, despite it being the first year that presentatow to Train Your Dragon<. How to Train Your Dragon doesn?t have a paneobermind<0 superhero comedy Oobermind has no presence in Hall H (I?m sure they?ylvester Stallone?s The Expendables<ylvester Stallone?s The Expendables has no scheduled appearance.

Of course, the below list is subject to change. Panels and projects could be added, or surprise appearances might be made (for instance, Warner Bros has a panel where they could surprise with Ninja Assassin). Also, some of these films might very well have a show floor presence, advertising presence (District 9 was all over last year?s Con), or viral marketing launch at the Con. But judging from the officially announced schedule, this is the list of movies that won?t have a panel presence at the Con.

I'm really shocked at some of the missing films. Especially Inglourious Basterds, Saw VI, Halloween II, Jennifer?s Body, Whiteout, etc.

I scored a complimentary day pass from my cousin who's volunteering all 4 days there. It's good for Thursday, Friday, or Sunday. Which day should I sign up for?

I'm not into manga nor Twilight. I like American comics, but not so much an avid subscriber. Movies are cool.

This may help you a bit they have some of the stuff by day :)

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
