Halle Berry Wants A Storm Movie & Watch Extant Comic-Con Trailer

Watch the Comic-Con trailer for Extant above, which stars Halle Berry.

Berry also fielded a question in regards to doing a Storm movie, in which she told Comic-Con attendees she would be all up for it.

“Absolutely,” Berry replied when asked about a potential Storm movie. “Fans have to tell Fox that that’s what they want to have happen!”

Halle Berry played Storm three times in the X-Men movies, and with there already being standalone movies for Wolverine, Deadpool and Gambit, it’s possible something could be done down the road with Storm; however, whether Halle Berry is still involved remains to be seen as Bryan Singer recently hinted at an X-Men reboot.

The Extant airs on CBS.

SyFy Launches App For The Expanse

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21293:]]

Syfy has announced the launch of a virtual reality app for The Expanse, the network’s highly-anticipated drama series from Alcon TV premiering in December 2015. Utilizing Google Cardboard, the app immerses viewers into the vast world of The Expanse, giving them the opportunity to enter into settings from the show and experience them in virtual reality.

“The Expanse VR” app – available for iOS and Android devices – takes users on a 360-degree tour of the spaceship Canterbury (the massive ice freighter introduced in the first episode of The Expanse). Additional virtual reality content will be added to the app in the months leading up to the series’ premiere in December.

To kick things off, Syfy is offering 13,000 free Cardboard viewers to attendees at San Diego Comic-Con, available at The Expanse Café (Mary Jane’s Café in the Hard Rock Hotel, 207 5th Ave). All weekend, fans can stop by the café to learn more about the series, demo and download the app and assemble their own Google Cardboard. In addition to experiencing The Expanse in virtual reality, Comic-Con attendees can also attend a screening of the series’ first episode and a Q&A with the cast and producers (Saturday, July 11 at 4PM, Indigo Ballroom, Bayfront Hilton).

Conceived from a partnership between Syfy and NBCUniversal Media Labs, the app was developed by IM360 in collaboration with artists at Digital Domain. The team worked in close conjunction with the visual effects department on The Expanse, maintaining the experience’s authenticity by working off of materials used to build the Canterbury on the show.

“At Syfy, we’re constantly looking for innovative ways to let fans experience and interact with our content, so virtual reality has been on our radar for a while,” said Matthew Chiavelli, SVP, Syfy Digital. “The Expanse, with its incredibly detailed, vast world, offers many environments for us to mine and bring to life, and made for the perfect project to launch in this space. We are thrilled to be the first series to utilize Google Cardboard in this way, and have been lucky to work with top-notch teams from IM360 and Digital Domain, as well as at NBCUniversal Media Labs, to premiere this first-to-market activation.”

“It was exciting to work with Syfy on this groundbreaking new way to engage with viewers,” said Hanzhi Tang, VFX Supervisor, Digital Domain. “This is such a highly anticipated new show and our team hopes it helps put fans right in the action with our new, cutting edge, immersive technology.”

“It’s exciting to see this first of its kind Google Cardboard and NBCUniversal proof of concept come to life for Syfy’s The Expanse,” said Sanjay Macwan, SVP & CTO, NBCUniversal Media Labs. “Our Media Labs team leverages projects like this custom VR app to build ‘real life’ pilots that demonstrate innovation across NBCUniversal’s content portfolio. Based on its success, we’ll then be able to re-skin and scale the concept across our diverse set of businesses.”

Premiering on Syfy this December, The Expanse is a 10-episode space drama set 200 years in the future, after mankind has colonized the solar system. A hardened detective (Thomas Jane) and a rogue ship’s captain (Steven Strait) come together for what starts as the case of a missing young woman and evolves into a race across the solar system to expose the greatest conspiracy in human history. The series is based on the popular New York Times bestselling book series collectively known as The Expanse, written by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck (under the pen name James S. A. Corey).

Wesley Snipes Would Do Another Blade

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21292:]]

Wesley Snipes is currently at Comic-Con for his new TV series The Player where the actor also let it be known he is interested in doing another Blade movie.

Deadline spoke with Snipes who stated there have been talks.

The project is controlled by Marvel and we did have a really productive and a wonderful meeting and we discussed a number of things. I don’t know where it’s on their schedule at this point, that hasn’t been decided. I guess it’s still up in the air.

Wesley Snipes also says another potential Marvel role could be seen some time down the road.

That’s a possibility too. I’ve always been a fan of these pieces and adaptations and I’d be nice to be a part of the family again. But if we don’t to a Blade 4 or something else with Marvel, we’ll do something else. We have some other characters and some other concepts that are going to be just as exciting and hopefully just as successful. The first season of The Player will be interesting as well because we have drama and action, which is what I like. It gives me a chance to do a number of different things.

Snipes also comments on whether the “tide is turning” with there being more African-American superheroes, such as Marvel’s Falcon and Black Panther.

I don’t know. It’s takes more than one situation to make it a trend. One wouldn’t qualify it as a trend or a real shift in the tides yet. We’ll have to see how well the films do and how well the characters are presented. Clearly there’s an audience for it, both domestically and internationally. And I know that only a few guys can do this, so it’s kind of hard. Not everybody can do the comic book adaptation thing and make it believable. It is challenging.

Blade kicked off in 1998 and became a billion dollar franchise, and with Doctor Strange being the start of the supernatural side of the MCU, perhaps there is room for more of Snipes as the vampire hunting superhero.

Watch: New Supergirl Spot

Check out a new spot for Supergirl above.

Supergirl will be featured at Comic-Con as part of the WB TV Panels.

Supergirl premiers Monday, October 26th on CBS starring Melissa Benoist.

Synopsis:

SUPERGIRL is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist), Superman’s (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents’ help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex (Chyler Leigh), and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant (Golden Globe Award winner Calista Flockhart), who just hired the Daily Planet’s former photographer, James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), as her new art director. However, Kara’s days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw (David Harewood), head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime.

Possible Peek at Flash Season 2 Costume From Comic-Con

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21275:]]

Check out an image from the floor of Comic-Con revealing what may be a peek at the new Flash costume for Season 2.

Apparently somone snapped a pic of The Flash display where we can see the brighter colored red suit with a white symbol.

Jay Garrick’s helmet is also featured, which may mean the character will be appearing in Season 2 as well.

Another possibility is that The Flash suit in this display is just the costume from the future Flash — seen when Barry went back in time and watched his mother’s death.

We’ll probably learn more at the WB TV panel on Saturday.

Gal Gadot & Jason Momoa Will Be At Comic-Con

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21269:]]

We can probably take this as a confirmation that new Aquaman Jason Momoa will be at Comic-Con for Batman Vs. Superman as the actor has posted an image of himself with Gal Gadot who will be playing Wonder Woman.

In WB’s official announcement for Comic-Con, Gal Gadot is confirmed to be attending the Batman Vs. Superman panel, but no mention was made of Jason Momoa.

It’s possible the below image was taken at San Diego, which would of course mean Jason Momoa will be seen on stage alongside Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons and Holly Hunter.

The Batman Vs. Superman panel takes place Saturday in Hall H.

Jason Momoa is first set to appear as Aquaman in Batman Vs. Superman and then Justice League and standalone Aquaman movie.

Robert Kirkman Missing Comic-Con; Wants Deadpool Trailer Leaked

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21255:]]

Robert Kirkman will not be attending this week’s Comic-Con in San Diego.

Following not being able to attend the recent Image Expo last week, Kirkman let it be known he also won’t be at the SDCC due to throat surgery.

“Unfortunately, after years and years of being healthier than my physique would indicate I had to have minor surgery on my throat,” Kirkman posted on Skybound.com. “Nothing serious, but in the aftermath of such a fun experience, it comes with a brief duration of time where I’m unable to speak so all that pink business inside me can heal. As luck would have it, that period of time overlaps with Comic-Con.”

Two panels for The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead are scheduled for this Friday at Comic-Con, and Kirkman was scheduled to attend Skybound panels as well.

Kirkman notes it will be his first time missing Comic-Con in ten years, but looks forward to next year and hopes to see the new Deadpool trailer in some  form.

“This is the first Comic-Con I’m missing in well over a decade. While I’m bummed that I can’t be there, there’s nothing keeping you from enjoying all the fun events… I plan on making my triumphant Comic-Con return next year, you’ve been warned. Until then I’ll just be catching up on work and eating a lot of ice cream. So go to a panel, buy an overpriced hotdog, and think of me when you’re buying Transformer toys. I wish you all a fun and safe Comic-Con. Someone please be sure to bootleg the Deadpool trailer for me!”

Now Disney Withholds New Star Wars Footage From Comic-Con

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21242:]]

Not only is Disney holding back Marvel Studios from appearing at Comic-Con, but now it’s learned there will be no new Star Wars footage.

Regarding Marvel Studios, while Kevin Feige tried to explain Marvel didn’t have anything to show off (“the timing wasn’t right”), Marvel could have easily done something for Ant-Man, which opens next week, as well as could have featured new Spider-Man Tom Holland and probably could have done something for Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange if they really wanted to.

At least Disney will have a Star Wars panel, but EW.com reports no new trailers, clips or footage will be shown.

What is stated to be coming at Comic-Con from Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a behind-the-scenes look at the film in addition to J.J. Abrams, Disney LucasFilm president Kathleen Kennedy and some members of the cast apeparing from the movie.

It’s assumed Disney is saving future Marvel Studios news for August’s Disney D23 Expo, and now it’s likely new Star Wars footage may debut then.

EW’s report does note a new Star Wars trailer is due out in the Fall.

The Star Wars Comic-Con panel takes place this Friday.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has a December 18, 2015 release directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer.

Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Max von Sydow, Lupita Nyong’o and Gwendoline Christie will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film.

First Look At Doctor Who Series 9

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21207:]]

Check out a first look at Peter Capaldi from Doctor Who Series 9, which premiers this Fall.

Capladi will be attending his first Comic-Con as well.

Via EW:

Are you looking forward to Comic-Con?

Very much. Comic-Con is so legendary, so a great thrill to be invited along.

You told me last year that, as a child, you were always more intrigued than frightened by Doctor Who. But are you nervous at all about appearing in front of 7,000 people at the Doctor Who panel?

Very nervous. Don’t think I’ver ever stood in front of 7,000 people in my life. But if 7,000 people want to see us, it would be rude not to turn up.

If you were going to walk the Comic-Con floor disguised as a monster from Doctor Who, or as anything or anyone else, what or who would it be?

A white walker from Game of Thrones. Or, fromDoctor Who, a menoptra.

Could you tease the two-part premiere?

It places the Doctor in a conflict that is central to his being, as well as containning some subtle tributes to the ’60s, and truly wonderful guest performances.

What can you tell us about the exclusive photograph from the premiere (see above)?

The photo shows the Doctor about to make a mistake that has cataclysmic repercussions.

How is the Doctor different this season from last?

He’s throwing himself into life with a newfound hunger for adventure. He’s in pursuit of joy and grabbing every thrill that he can along the way. But I sense him running from something, that even he does not yet understand.

Tell us about the villains and monsters the Doctor will be encountering this season?

There is an epic sweep to this season and I think the villains and monsters reflect that. Great new ones, brilliant old ones, and some very scary creatures looming in stories with real emotional ambition.

And Missy?

In the hands of Michelle Gomez, Missy is more magnificently bad than ever before.

Maisie Williams is one of the new season’s guest stars. How was working with her?

Maisie is fantastic. A sharp, talented tornado. As an 18-year-old, she has taught me many new words and expressions. All I’ll say about her character is she shifts in cosmic ways.

How would you describe the relationship between your Doctor and Jenna Coleman’s Clara this season?

They’ve suddenly realized that they are the most fortunate people in all of time and space and are hellbent on adventure. Jenna continutes to deliver a beautifully nuanced, complex, and funny performance that marks her out as one of the best companions ever.
