Genres smash and Harrison Ford is redeemed with winning reel at Wondercon.

Jon Favreau and Roberto Orci took to the WonderCon stage to the tune of AC/DC's "Back in Black."  These are men who've made their bones in rooms like the Moscone Center's Esplanade Ballroom and they were ready to engage.

 

Paul Bettany's pugilistic Papist is the strangest thing to show at WonderCon.

Last July I saw a brief sizzle reel of some of the most eye-popping fantasy imagery put to film.  For days I was buzzing, telling everyone I knew just how radical this movie was going to be.  That movie was called Sucker Punch

The WonderCon audience got a quick treat with the first ever public showing of moving pictures from Tarsem Singh's upcoming film Immortals.  It was a classic case of Con footage syndrome - absolutely gorgeous imagery that offers no insight whatsoever to the quality of the actual finished film.  But. . . .did I mention gorgeous imagery?
