Trailer - Griff The Invisible

Australian writer/director Leon Ford's debut film stars Ryan Kwanten (True Blood) as Griff, a shy and awkward office worker by day, who finds escape from his ordinary life by assuming the identity of a fantastic superhero each night. Griff's secret is jeopardized when he meets Melody (Maeve Dermody). It looks like a really sweet film that combines two of my favorite things: superheroes and quirky indie romances. Can't wait to check it out. Now playing at the Nuart Theatre in LA!

Trailer - Super

Loved the footage and hilarious panel from Comic-Con and now we have a trailer for James Gunn's darkly comedic superhero movie from IFC. It stars Rainn Wilson as a home-made hero who tries to get his wife (Liv Tyler) back from a drug kingpin (Kevin Bacon) with a little help from his eager sidekick (Ellen Page). Yep an awesome cast that also includes Nathan Fillion! Opens limited on April 1st.

Comic-Con 2010

A wrap up of this year's Comic-Con with trailers, videos, and photos.

THURSDAY

Head to hall h line hoping to get in for the Tron panel. Don't get in. Arrgh! Finally get in and see the panel for Salt. Seems decent. Then it's Battle: Los Angeles. Looks like a really cool shooter game. Then it's the Warren Ellis adaptation Red. They show a really cool trailer. Old people kicking ass. Helen 'The Queen' Mirren, Mary Louise-Parker, and Karl Urban. Then out comes surprise guest Bruce Willis! Crowd goes wild.

Then the EW panel with Joss Whedon and JJ Abrams. Awesome to hear two of my favorite filmmakers discuss their work. The Expendables panel is up next. Harry Knowles from Ain't It Cool News is the moderator. Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Steve Austin, Randy Couture, and Terry Crews come out. Clips look badass. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World panel starts with self-moderator Edgar Wright. He then introduces everyone who all get an intro video with clips from the film! Creator Bryan Lee O'Malley, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ellen Wong, Alison Pill, Mark Webber, Kieran Culkin, Satya Bhabha, Brandon Routh, Jason Schwartzman, Mae Whitman, Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, and Michael Cera comes out last dressed as Captain America. Wright is great and I wish he moderated every panel. At one point he introduced Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, they come out, he remembers they're not in the movie, and they walk back out with their heads down! So funny.
