Someone wandering around at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend happened to spot Fringe's Joshua Jackson. He says: "I was walking back to my hotel after eating at Cafe Diem to take a break and a small group of people were gathered on the lawn a distance from the convention center. They were standing around Joshua Jackson from 'Fringe', he was staging his own 'Pacey-Con', giving out fan fiction he wrote and getting pictures with the women, all while the 'Dawson's Creek' theme music played on a boom box, it was quite funny, to say the least."I wish I saw this.Source URL: https://americanendeavor.blogspot.com/search/label/San%20Diego%20Comic%20Con%202010
Here's an update CBR:Multiple reports are emerging out of Comic-Con International this afternoon of a scuffle over seats in Hall H, ending in a stabbing. The massive room, where many of the film presentations are held, was locked down, and a man led away in handcuffs by police.
Although details are scarce at the moment, Dread Central reports the fight erupted just as the Resident Evil: Afterlife panel was ending about 4:45 p.m. PST. The fight between two attendees allegedly broke out when one of them refused to change seats. According to Dread Central, one man stabbed the other in the eye with a pen.
Sergeant Gary Mondesir of the San Diego Police Department spoke about the incident.
"Basically, inside of Hall H during Comic-Con, prior to one of the showings, two males got into a dispute," Sergeant Mondesir said. "One male attacked the other male, stabbing him on the side of his eye with a pen. Officers were relatively close by. Citizens within the hall detained the person. Officers came and arrested him, and right now we're processing the scene inside."
The victim was taken to UCSD Medical Center immediately for treatment while the suspect was arrested without incident thanks to the aid of attendees including, as Mondesir said, "The victim's friend actually assisted in taking the suspect into custody."
The sergeant explained that the dispute did break out after one person stated that the other person sitting through a panel to attend a later one should leave. "He'll be charged with assault with a deadly weapon due to the stabbing in the eye," he added of the next step in the investigation. "We are still processing the scene. We have a field evidence technician who's taking measurements and collecting evidence...The show is still going on. It happened in an area where we didn't have to stop the show. We can actually work around it and process the scene. It happened inside the hall but off to the side.
"We have numerous witnesses – I'm not at liberty to tell you how many – but we've taken their statements."
This is a mess, but telling about how Comic Con is ran. I will talk about that tomorrow.
P.S. I saw Chris in person. Skinny, but cute as a button.Source URL: https://americanendeavor.blogspot.com/search/label/San%20Diego%20Comic%20Con%202010- Director Joe Johnston calls the film “a classic adventure love story with an edge.” he says that his favorite movie of all time is Raiders of the Lost Ark, a movie which he also worked on. He says that Raiders feels as modern today as it did they day it was filmed. This is his goal for Captain America.
- Joe says that while he has studied the complete history of the character, he’s a fan of the Brubaker version of the Captain America. So they decided to Borrow certain visual elements from Brubaker version, but are “going a bit more modern than the original.”
- Johnston also says that “if we don’t love steve Rogers before he gets transformed, we won’t love Jim after.”
- Filming has been going on for a few weeks now but Chris
Evans only started on set five days ago and claims that he “did some nice gentle scenes to get my feet wet.”- Marvel head/producer Kevin Feige admits that Chris has only been in a test version of the suit. The footage from the teaser trailer was filmed at a costume test. “The suit is coming together well but isn’t finished yet.” he says it’s more realistic than the cartoony version of the suit that leaked a month back. “It is something that is unequivocally the Captain America uniform but fits the time period.”
- Hugo Weaving says he listed to tapes of verger Herzog to help him get the voice of Red Skull. He has only worked one day in the mask, and he has “only started” getting to “make the mask work. “
