Comic Con 2008

The annual San Diego Comic Con is well under way right now and lots of great movies have been announced and shown in further detail. The G.I. Joe panel happened yesterday and the movie seems to be shaping up much better than anticipated and will in theaters August '09. Frank Miller has a new movie called "The Spirit" which stars Samuel L. Jackson and a bevy of hot chicks (Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes, and Jaime King). Benicio Del Toro is doing a Wolfman movie and the make up looks very realstic. Kevin Smith has a new comedy starring Seth Rogen, who imo is getting very overused as an actor and isn't really THAT funny. But the movie shows promise as its about a couple who gets into the business of porn making. "Zack and Miri Make A Porno" opens October 27th. The biggest movie of Comic Con seems to be Zack Snyder's graphic novel adaptation "The Watchmen." The first look at this movie was in the trailers before The Dark Knight and looks very interesting. You can find out more about the Watchmen panel here.

There's also a story on The Dark Knight expecting to make $73 Million this weekend and may actually give Titanic a run for its money as the highest grossing movie ever. Titanic made $1.8 Billion worldwide. It's also set to hit the $300 Million mark in 10 days which has never been done before, the only thing that came close was Pirates of the Caribean: Dead Man's Chest which did it in 16 days.
