I’m not sure this trailer first shown at Comic-Con really needs no introduction? The verbiage in this first paragraph should just say click and watch me! Haha!

We didn’t get to see this because you have to sacrifice parts of your soul to be in Hall H all day. This is the time where I wish I was Hermione Granger with her god-damned time-turner, it’s all about encasing that hour-reversal charm for added stability. Alas, with fresh baby deer eyes I watched the Ash VS. Evil Dead trailer this morning and immediately squirmed in delight while simultaneously planning the best-ever-halloween-slash-Ash VS. Evil Dead-party extravaganza for it’s premiere on October 31st 2015. It will be the best this Halloween. This trailer is action packed along with sprinkles of dark comedy. A little light with the dark is always well suited and it certainly doesn’t skip out on the gore. There was a lot of blood in this trailer, on faces, in cars, all over. With fast cuts galore it is visually a blast from the past. Here’s the trailer:

Nothing but spectacular doom and gloom. Watching this in Hall H was one hell of an experience. The cast came out, all bright smiles except for Affleck. His parents were killed when he was a child, after all. Can you blame him? Or maybe it’s the divorce. When discussing the great actors who have played Batman, he mentioned George Clooney but didn’t mention Val Kilmer. I’m sure it was a simple flub. Or he was curious as to how many nerds would stroke out.

Aisha Tyler moderated the Warner Bros The Man From U.N.C.L.E. panel, which kicked off with a video introduction from Guy Ritchie, who is currently in Scotland filming his King Arthur film. It was a lighthearted series of intro bloopers, with Ritchie fumbling over the names of his cast. In attendance was Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, Alicia Vikander, and Elizabeth Debicki. There was an extended trailer shown, which still unfortunately looks dull. Look, I love Guy Ritchie and I always hope for the best, so I’m crossing my fingers that the film will be better than all the trailers I’ve seen. This Comic-Con trailer just adds more explosions, but I was hoping for more clips of Cavill and Hammer verbally sparing, something Richie excels in.

Hall H presentation for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, but for now I just wanted all our readers to be able to marvel (no pun intend) and bask in the glory of everything the newest trailer, released online in the past hour, has to offer us minions and geeks on Earth.

Then watch the trailer already embedded below for your viewing pleasure. You finally get to see Wonder Woman in action! Enjoy!

Alright so here’s some big news that just came across my desktop in the past hour. The next adventure in the Anthology series of Star Wars films will be directed by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, whose credits include the critically acclaimed The LEGO Movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, 21 Jump Street and 22 Jump Street. Among the most sought-after filmmakers working today, the two have proven a formidable duo in film and television and are looking forward to applying their unique sensibilities to the Star Wars Universe. While I’m not overly excited for a Han Solo “solo” film, I am at the possibility of what fun Miller and Lord will make with this project. So bring it on and let the good times roll! Check out the rest of the press release down below. Continue reading ‘STAR WARS Anthology Series Continues With A Han Solo Adventure!’
