Wired has video of the Con. One of the most buzzed about events at SDCC yesterday was the screening of 25 minutes from James Cameron's Avatar. Cinematical has more details about the movie. io9 documented the models, noted what it took to get into the screening (lots of waiting), and described the footage in detail. If that's not enough for you, you can also read Sci Fi Wire's description of the footage, a transcript of the Q&A with James Cameron, and the extremely positive fan reaction. Also, 15 minutes of the film will be screened in 3D at IMAX theaters worldwide on August 21st for free! Also making a splash at Comic-Con: Tron! The new film is called Tron: Legacy, and Cinematical has the details. There's more on it over at SciFi Squad, plus a poster for Jonah Hex. io9 again has a detailed description of the Tron footage, and Super Punch has concept art. Seth Rogen unveils the Green Hornet's car, and Michel Gondry raps about it. More photos of Comic-Con. The South Park tower defense game in action. A big thumbs up for District 9, plus new images.
