The maddening crowd

Is the Comic-Con too big?

This is the largest annual convention in San Diego. According to the only informative person we've encountered so far this weekend (the woman at the San Diego information desk), she said they are expecting 123,000 people at this convention. The max capacity of Petco Park is, according to their site 42,000. Comic Con is three times larger than the biggest most sold out baseball game.

Life aboard the Owl Ship

More movie-related news: The LA Times talks to Zack Snyder about his respectful adaptation of Alan Moore's The Watchmen. A big hit at the 'con this year is the full-sized Owl Ship on display.

The Coventry Telegraph has posted online some promo images from the 'con of next year's Red Sonja remake, starring Rose McGowan, revealing a more erotic and inventive take than the old Brigette Nielson flick. This is the definitive fanboy Red Sonja: the chainmail bikini, lots of cleavage, and, what else, contentedly licking the blood off her sword.

A Wolverine surprise

A Wolverine surprise

A surprise preview of next summer's X-Men prequel, as reported by E!Online:

In the first twist of this year's San Diego Comic-Con, an unscheduled Hugh Jackman bonded with fans and showcased footage from next summer's prequel, X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

"Without you guys, I wouldn't have a career," Jackman told an energized crowd, who had gathered to see Keanu Reeves promote The Day the Earth Stood Still and Mark Wahlberg talk about Max Payne.

The party-crashing Jackman, muttonchops-free and just off a plane from Australia, offered a shout-out to Wolverine creator Len Wein and waded into the audience to shake hands with the comics vet.

The film Jackman brought apparently did not disappoint fans one bit:

The clip's money shot, according to fan reaction: Wolverine facing off against archrival Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber), and declaring, "I'm going to cut your goddamned head off. See if that works."
