SDCC Bites: 'Robocop' Remake, 'Saw V' Trailer, 'Wolverine' Footage and More!
Filed under: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fandom, Exhibition, Movie Marketing, Comic/Superhero/Geek, ComicCon
We came, we saw ... Con kicked our ass. Here are some quick tidbits of interest:
- The first trailer for Saw V was released in conjunction with that film's panel here last night. It's over at Yahoo!, but thanks to the magic that is embed players, you fine folks can see if after the jump. Yes, Jigsaw is back ... but this time something's gotta be done about his kids, Marty! Wait ... back up ... puzzles, traps, blood -- that's more like it.
- MGM has confirmed via press release that Darren Aronofsky will officially helm a Robocop remake. And, no, I looked out my window and pigs were not flying. Also, in the same press release, they noted that Brett Ratner will be directing God of War. There's a potential for awesomeness in either project, but it's still too early to tell.
- The two Red Sonja posters unveiled during the panel yesterday (see our report here) hit the Cinematical inbox this morning, and, yes, I believe it is true what they say about redheads: They like to lick blood off of swords. See both above.
- Wolverine footage screened yesterday during the Fox panel, and it was pretty awesome. Dynamite teaser moment: Wolverine telling Sabretooth: "I'm gonna cut your goddamn head off!" Everything I'm hearing about this flick is that it's dark, sadistic and wicked ... and I cannot flippin' wait.
- IGN has the Punisher: War Zone footage from last night's panel.
- I heard the Twilight panel was absolutely off the charts as far as tween female geekdom goes. Never have so many mothers and daughters gone so ballistic in one area at the same time -- I'm not sure if anyone called Guinness, but some sort of record was definitely broken.
- We missed the paltry G.I. Joe panel, but JoBlo has a pretty good rundown of it in case you're interested. No footage was shown, just a slideshow of stuff we've already seen and maybe one or two action shots.
- Last but not least, The Masters of the Web panel was a good time. This was my first ever Con panel (as a panelist) and luckily I didn't throw up or accidentally spit on AICN's Quint (who sat next to me).I'd call that a success.

It's never too early to tell that any Ratner project will not be awesome but craptastic. If Ratner made a hamburger it would be a McCrap with Cheese.

A Robocop remake by Aronofsky? That sounds flat out weird and I think I am seeing a pig flying across the patio. This could be either a revolting disaster or Robocop begins.

yea, i...just can't believe they're going to let Ratner direct something a popular as God of War considering what he did to the Xmen franchise alone.
i'll never pay to see any movie directed by him. period.

If Ratner made ice cream it would be Chocolate Crap Cookie Dough.
