Comic-Con 2007 - Friday
I updated my Shutterfly account with more pictures from my digital camera but sadly most of them didn't come out clear. So you'll notice that some of the pictures I uploaded are of the large screens in the hall that are used to project images for everyone to see. I do have pictures from my film SLR camera but I haven't developed them yet. Hopefully those will turn out better and then I'll upload those too.

Today was another full day at Hall H, where more movie studios previewed some of their upcoming movies. Several stars appeared today, a few being - Masi Oka, The Rock, Steve Carrell, Kate Beckinsale, and Clive Owen. After we saw the movie studio panels, we walked around the main exhibition floor for a bit. And also, as we do every year, we pre-registered for next year's Comic-Con...woo hoo!

Once again, here's the Comic-Con website descriptions of the panels we attended on Friday.

In the supernatural thriller One Missed Call, people receive terrifying cell phone messages of their own final fatal moments. Stars Edward Burns and Shannyn Sossamon will be on stage to introduce film footage and answer questions.
In Whiteout, Kate Beckinsale stars as Carrie Stetko, the lone U.S. Marshal assigned to Antarctica, whose investigation of the continent's first murder draws her into a shocking mystery. Now, with only three days until winter, Carrie must solve the crime before Antarctica is plunged into darkness and she is stranded with the killer. Star Kate Beckinsale appears in-person.
In the all-new action comedy Get Smart, Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS.
