'The Dark Knight Rises,' 'Man Of Steel' & More Skip Comic-Con As Major Studios ...
The comic/geek crowd are either the most important group to court for genre films or their influence is overstated; it really depends on who you ask. In recent years, the very vocal contingent has generally been thought of as essential to making sure more challenging or niche fare finds an audience or least makes its budget back, but a series of disappointments and flops have the studios reconsidering. Last year, Edgar Wright ‘s “ Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World ” was met with widespread geek acclaim only for the Universal film to sputter at the box office (though to be fair, the marketing for that film did little to embrace anybody outside the core of fans). “ Sucker Punch ” got major buzz and died on the vine this past spring, while “ Tron: Legacy ” played modestly despite nerds flipping for footage that Disney teased as early as 2008 (though yes, it has done enough to convince the studio get a sequel moving ). And both “ Skyline ” and “ Let Me In ” faltered when they hit screens later in the year, after doing the San Diego Comic-Con rounds.However—this year at least—the tide is shifting. The New York Times reports that Warner Bros, Marvel, DreamWorks, Disney and The Weinstein Company will be no-shows this year, meaning that some major movies coming out in 2012 won’t be given an early push. For those traveling across the country to attend SDCC, this year’s lineup—at least on the film front—will have some huge, disappointing gaps.
Probably one of the most eagerly anticipated films of 2012 is Christopher Nolan ‘s “ The Dark Knight Rises ” but with the WB not booking tickets to San Diego, folks hoping for an exclusive look at the film will be out of luck. It also means that Zack Snyder ‘s “ Man Of Steel ,” currently slated for a late 2012 release, will be absent marking two huge, heavyweight comic franchises missing from the biggest convention of the year. That said, Nolan has never played the Comic-Con game, so it’s not too shocking he won’t start now, but it still means two of the most mainstream comic heros of all time will stay off the convention floor.

Full Japanese Trailer for Shawn Levy's 'Real Steel' Robot Boxing ...
, the big boxing robot spectacular hitting theaters this fall. We get to spend a lot more time with the 'bot they're training in the second half with this, and it still looks great, like an inspirational underdog story but with some badass fight sequences and Hugh Jackman in it! We've already seen the first full US trailer , but I'm already at the point where I don't need to see anymore, I'm curious enough to want to go see this anyway. Evangeline Lilly and Dakota Goyo also star in this. Enjoy! "The moment of walking in and seeing these robots, my jaw was on the floor," Jackman said previously . They used motion capture for scenes where robots are actually fighting (with Sugar Ray Leonard as the boxing adviser) and built practical robots for everything else. "There are some things only visual effects can pull off, but when you give an actor a real thing, in this case a real 8-foot-tall machine, to interact with and do dialogue opposite, you get a more grounded reality to the performance." They find Atom in a junkyard and hope to train to become the WRB champion.
