Whiz of the Web: Monday Meat Slices

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment.

• There's finally an official teaser trailer for The Dark Knight officially on the web, and you can watch it here. There's no footage from the film, just audio - but you do get to hear the Joker. (Via)
• Fun little profile of Neil Gaiman here, on the occasion of the upcoming release of the film adaptation of his book Stardust (via). And speaking of Gaiman and film adaptations of his work, here's a little article about how the movie of Death: The High Cost of Living (which he himself is directing) is coming along
• Let's see if we can cover all the Comic-Con stuff in just one bullet point. First of all, TIME has their own (short) coverage of the event here (via). And John Rogers of Kung Fu Monkey was also there. As was the Movie Blog. Oh, and apparently the footage of Iron Man that Jon Favreau showed at Comic-Con was hot. Speaking of Iron Man, Cinematical found the guy's car. Cinematical also liveblogged the Disney/Pixar presentation, the Marvel panel, the Rogue Pictures/Focus Features panel, and the Dimension Films presentation. But the biggest piece of news was that Disney will be putting out a new Narnia movie every May, beginning next year, and they won't stop until the series is done.
• Nerd World dug up a few interesting recent comments by Jo Rowling, one in which she reveals a bit more about the future of some major Potter characters, and another in which she reveals a bit more about her own literary future.
• Although it may not seem like it, other things besides Comic-Con have been going on recently. For one, there was Classic Gaming Expo 2007. You can read all of Game|Life's coverage of the event right here.
• Zack Snyder says that for the NYC scenes of Watchmen they'll be shooting on real sets, but for scenes on Mars and in Antarctica and so forth he'll be using some of the same techniques he used when filming 300 - shooting on simple stages and adding in virtual backgrounds later.
• Ridley Scott talks details on the Final Cut version of Blade Runner. Apparently he did the new version mainly because other people asked him to, not because he particularly wanted to himself. And most of the changes consist of fixing up flaws in the original film.
