Mar 18th, 2012 WonderCon panel: “The Amazing Spider-Man”
By Brian Hall Reboots are a funny thing these days. A film doesn’t even have to be 10 years old to get one, and in many instances the “new take” on the material is to simply make it “grittier.” That’s the approach previous trailers would have us believe director Marc Webb is also taking [...]
Mar 18th, 2012 WonderCon panel: “Looper”
By Brian Hall Joseph Gordon-Levitt, star of the film “Looper,” said of the film’s writer/director, Rian Johnson, that one day he’ll be mentioned in the same breath as Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg.

The film stars Grace as the president’s [...]

By Brian Hall The last thing I expected from the first clip played from this summer’s aliens vs. naval ships epic “Battleship” was a five minute scene about Taylor Kitsch’s character locating a burrito for his new crush, played by Brooklyn Decker. I’m happy to say that it was the first clip from the film [...]
Mar 17th, 2012 Day 2 WonderCon
By Sandra Kraisirideja WonderCon is the smaller, less well-known version of Comic-Con, but what people may not realize is that it’s put on my exactly the same people so the fact that it’s smaller and not as well-known is actually a positive thing. WonderCon takes place every spring and its usual home turf is the Moscone [...]
