| Comic Con Updates: Star Trek, G.I. Joe and Transformers 2! | |
Tuesday, 08 July 2008 Comic Con is fast approaching! Preview Night is only two weeks away from tomorrow!!! AAAHHH!!
We here at the IESB have been working non-stop getting our annual blow out party ready for Saturday night of the con! Entitled THE WRATH OF CON the party is gearing up to be the biggest in town!
It happens that, while doing our final walk-through of the Hard Rock Hotel Rooftop where our party is to be held, we noticed something along the streets of San Diego.
Of course they are starting to promote the largest comic book convention (EVER) and have the streetlight banners proudly displayed as they always are. Funny that the STAR TREK poster/logo from J.J. Abrams' new installment was placed right alongside the official Comic Con banner.
Took a quick pic,
I looked on the official Comic Con website to see if there were any updates since STAR TREK hasn't been officially announced as even having a presence (and rumors have been flying left and right about Paramount completely backing out of CC this year) at the con.
On the official CC website under "THANK YOU TO OUR GENEROUS SPONSORS" again the Star Trek logo is posted as shown below,
That's an awful lot of placement for a film and studio not even supposed to be attending don't you think? i am sure we can expect a few BIG surprises during Comic Con 2008 regarding STAR TREK!
UPDATE: We've gotten confirmation that Paramount Pictures' Star Trek will definitely have a presence on the Exhibit Floor at the official Paramount Booth, no panel, but plenty of presence at the booth.
Moving on, TRANSFORMERS 2 and G.I. JOE will both be showing early footage to fans during Comic Con 2008.
How do you see it? Attend the HASBRO panel!
Paramount will not be holding a panel for the films but will be giving HASBRO footage to show at their panel, there may even be a few surprises along with those as well!
The official programming schedule will be posted on the Comic-con.org website soon!
San Diego here we come....all 140,000 of us!! |
