Check Out What’s New for Celebration V This Week

from StarWars.com:

Only 5 Weeks Left Until Star Wars Celebration V!

Sith Virus Attacks G4!
This August, the Star Wars universe merges with our own when Star Wars Celebration V comes to Orlando, Florida. The ultimate Star Wars party, from August 12-15, it’s a festival for fans of the Star Wars movies, television series, toys, games, and more. Of course, while the Star Wars universe spilling into our own means an influx of Jedi, it also means an invasion of Sith Lords, Smugglers, and Bounty Hunters. In fact, this invasion’s already started to take hold of the internet and a Sith Virus is starting to spread, causing glitches across G4TV.com, StarWars.com, and StarWarsCelebration.com. We need your help to track it down! There are twelve pages spread across G4TV.com, StarWars.com, and StarWarsCelebration.com that have been infected with this Sith Virus, and if you can decipher the clues, find the pages, and locate the glitches, you’ll have helped us save the internet. And you’ll have a chance to win a few prizes, too! One First Prize Winner takes home two pairs of 4-Day tickets to CV, two pairs of tickets to Last Tour to Endor at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a Gentle Giant Statue, and a new Xbox 360 Slim from G4! Additional winners take home 4-Day tickets to CV, along with other cool prizing. Want to enlist? Visit G4TV.com/glitch to get started and help us track this virus down!

Warwick Davis at Celebration V!
Film and television actor, and seasoned Celebration host, Warwick Davis will attend Celebration V, signing autographs and meeting fans in the Celebration Autograph Hall! Davis, who has frequently hosted at the Celebrations, will be able to spend more time with fans at the show in Orlando. Always a favorite with audiences, Davis will also appear on stage to share stories about his fascinating career, and entertain questions from the audience. Davis has been well known to Star Wars fans since his career-starting performance as Wicket the Ewok in Return of the Jedi, and in the television films Ewoks: Battle for Endor and Caravan of Courage. Warwick returned to the galaxy far, far away in 1997 with several roles in The Phantom Menace.

The Guild at Comic-Con 2010

from The Guild:

The Guild will be at Comic-Con! We’re pleased to announce that we’ll have a booth, a panel, new merchandise and some surprises. For the second year in a row, we’ll be sharing a booth, so you can find us listed in the exhibitor guide under “Signal Fire Studios/The Guild” and we’re at booth 4201. We can confirm that, at this time, the entire cast of The Guild will be in attendance, and we will have at least one signing opportunity per day at the booth.

The Guild’s panel is scheduled for Saturday, July 24th from 2pm to 3pm in the Indigo Ballroom at the Hilton Bayfront hotel, recently announced as one of the new official venues for Comic-Con. After last year’s standing-room only panel, where we had to turn away several hundred fans, we asked for a larger room and the fine folks at Comic-Con were kind enough to honor that request — so big thanks to Comic-Con. The panel will feature a Q&A with the cast along with the premiere of some new content from The Guild. There will be more info and a complete schedule of Guild-related events posted as we get closer to the Con. Join us on Twitter and Facebook for the most up to date info.

A few other events we’d like to mention:

  • Felicia Day will be on a panel called “Movies, TV, Comics, Web: Girls Gone Genre” on Friday, July 23rd from 5pm to 6pm in room 24ABC, with a powerhouse lineup of producers/creators, including Kathryn Immonen, Laeta Kalogridis, Marti Noxon, Melissa Rosenberg and Gail Simone.
  • The Legend of Neil will have a panel on Saturday, July 24th from 7:30pm to 8:30pm in room 24ABC with cast Tony Janning, Felicia Day, Mike Rose, Angie Hill, Eric Acosta, Scott Chernoff, and show creator Sandeep Parikh.
  • Our friends Paul and Storm, with Guild cast member Wil Wheaton and Adam Savage of Mythbusters are bringing their popular w00tstock to San Diego during Comic-Con on Thursday, July 22nd at 7:30pm at live music venue 4th and B. All the info is on w00tstock.net and tickets are available here (this will sell out!).
  • The next Celebrate the Web event will take place in San Diego in conjunction with Comic-Con on Saturday, July 24th at the Bristol Hotel with sessions at 4:15pm and 5:15pm (and mingle time before and after). Several web series will be screened, including a sketch from the Sean Becker & Jeff Lewis created Jeff Lewis 5 Minute Comedy Hour (5minutehour.com).

Weta: Sir Ian McKellen and new District 9 gun

from Weta:

Listen to Ian McKellen on the Weta Cast
Gandalf himself, Sir Ian McKellen, made a stop at Weta Workshop during his stay in Wellington last week. Sir Ian was in town with Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, which is currently touring after a successful run in London. We met in the Weta Cave and had a few words with the always gracious Sir Ian. Daniel has also interviewed French sculptor Pierre Matter. He was at Weta last year — this interview has been “in the can” for a while, but that has not made it any less interesting. Regardless whether you are or aren’t familiar with Pierre’s work, you should tune in and visit his website so you get the visual stimulants along with the interview. Pierre’s work is awe inspiring. Get Episode XVI of the Weta Cast here!

NEW! Arc Generator Miniature
Joining the Assault Rifle in Weta’s range of miniature alien weapons from District 9 is the familiar Arc Generator. Familiar because its full-size counterpart is just about to be delivered to the lucky ones who pre-ordered. Order Your Arc Generator Miniature Here! This is an incredible miniature model of the full size gun, cast in metal it carries significant weight. Dave Tremont has done a fantastic job with Greg Broadmore’s iconic design.

Doctor Who Helmet Extravaganza!
Does your alien 1/4 scale helmet collection need a boost? For a week, we’re offering these helmets at US$20 OFF! That’s US$39 | GBP25 for the Cyberman Leader Helmet and for Lord President Borusa’s Headdress and US$29 | GBP19.20 for each of the other four. Gorgeous, incredibly detailed pieces of metal, each on its own stand and weighing in around 2 lbs, these helmets represent some of the creepiest aliens ever seen on the small screen, lovingly modelled by David Tremont, Weta’s resident Wholigan. And thanks to some international currency fluctuations we’re able to offer these at a fantastic price.

Dinner and Tall Tales with Dr. Grordbort’s Venusian Hunting Party!
Join Dr. Grordbort and his team for tales of Venusian rustics and ray guns in an ‘out of this world’ dining experience. The hunting party will meet at the Weta Cave and be escorted to Cafe Polo for a sumptuous four course dinner in an exclusively themed setting. More information and how to book!

Weta Cave museum change-out — tell us what you think should be in the cabinets!
Once a year, the Weta Cave gets a make-over. The mini museum has some of its displays replaced with new and exciting props, costumes, weapons, dummies and all sorts of objects from Weta’s recent as well as distant past. Go to the forum on the Shadow and Flame and tell us which are your favourite Weta props and make a case for why they should be on display.

We’re also having a book launch at the Weta Cave 14 August. Read more about this event on Facebook.

VIZ Media and POW! Entertainment Welcome “Ultimo” Co-Creator Stan Lee for a Personal Appearance at 2010 Comic-Con International

from VIZ Media:

VIZ Media, LLC (VIZ Media), and POW! Entertainment (POW!) are proud to welcome comic book legend Stan Lee for a special signing at the VIZ Media booth #2813 on Saturday, July 24th, at Comic-Con International 2010 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA.

Stan Lee will appear at the VIZ Media booth at the nation’s largest comic book convention to help celebrate the release of Ultimo Volume 2. Ultimo (rated “T” for Teens) is the historic collaboration between Stan Lee and famed Japanese manga creator Hiroyuki Takei, and has been serialized in Shonen Jump Magazine since its debut in 2009. Volume 2 is available in stores now. Starting at 4PM on Thursday, July 22nd, and Friday, July 23rd, the first 60 fans to purchase Ultimo Volume 2 at the VIZ Media booth each day will receive a ticket to have their copy personally autographed by Mr. Lee on Saturday, July 24th, at 1:15PM.

VIZ Media will also welcome Stan Lee as a special guest at the Shonen Jump panel, scheduled for Saturday, July 24th, from 10:30-11:30AM in Room 9.

Ultimo represents a rare East-meets-West production between comics legend Stan Lee, co-creator of many iconic superheroes including Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men, and Hiroyuki Takei, the creator of the popular Shaman King manga series, published in Japan by Shueisha and in North America by VIZ Media.

The Ultimo back-story: High above Farmless City, citizens are stunned by the sudden appearance of two floating figures. Are they human boys, monolithic robots, or something much more strange? As the battle ensues between them, destruction and devastation falls on the hapless city. One figure is Vice, who seems to be as evil as his name implies. The other is Ultimo, intent on trying to stop Vice from wreaking more havoc. But who are Vice and Ultimo really? Where did they come from? In Volume 2, with girl and money troubles, life is hard enough for high school student Yamato, but then he stumbles upon Ultimo, a peculiar-looking puppet. Things only get stranger when Ultimo awakens and his archenemy, Vice, shows up. Ultimo and Vice are Karakuri Dôji, the mechanical embodiment of pure good and pure evil, devoid of human emotions that can cloud one’s judgment. Their purpose: to battle to the death to prove once and for all whether good or evil is the most powerful force in the universe.

For over half a century, Stan Lee has been synonymous with superhero comics. In addition to co-creating countless memorable series and characters, including Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk, and Daredevil, he served as the former president and chairman of Marvel Comics. Lee remains a hugely respected and dynamic figure in the entertainment industry and continues to develop a variety of film, television and video game properties.

“We are extremely honored to have a legend of Stan Lee’s stature as a guest at the VIZ Media booth for a special signing at Comic-Con this year,” says Christopher Boily, Shonen Jump Editor-In-Chief. “The groundbreaking collaboration of the Ultimo manga has been a great success, and we are also extremely excited to welcome Mr. Lee as a guest at this year’s Shonen Jump panel in celebration of the release of Volume 2 of Ultimo!”

Stan Lee and his producing partner Gill Champion’s company, POW! Entertainment, worked with VIZ Media parent company Shueisha, and with JEA and Dream Ranch to facilitate the development of Ultimo. Champion, POW!’s COO and President, says, “Fans won’t want to miss Ultimo Volume 2 as more of the mysteries surrounding the Karakuri Dôji are finally explained. The characters that Stan and Hiroyuki Takei have created together are both classic and unique at the same time, with many different aspects that both manga and American comic fans will enjoy!”

Weta: Mad Max, Prawns and Saturn Awards

from Weta:

Weta to work on Mad Max: Fury Road
We’re thrilled to announce our involvement with Mad Max: Fury Road, a long-awaited continuation of the Mad Max suite, the last installment of which, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, premiered 25 years ago. Read More Here!

Christopher Johnson and son — Prawns in District 9
Exiled by fate to an alien and hostile planet where he is placed in a ghetto and forced to survive on black market pet food, Christopher Johnson is on a relentless quest to escape. With the help of his son and a few close confidants, he has managed to scrape together enough alien fuel to attempt a get-away. Beneath his ramshackle shelter hides a secret waiting to be unearthed. It’s now or never. From Neill Blomkamp’s District 9, Weta brings you a sculpture of the two hero “prawns” as they are condescendingly referred to by the humans of Johannesburg. They stand amid the rubble that is both their immediate source of nourishment and also offers a faint glimmer of hope to a people marooned. Preorder the Prawns Here!

Avatar scoops it big at Saturn Awards and District 9 Best International
The 36th Annual Saturn Awards (The Academy of Science Fiction Fantasy & Horror Films) were awarded recently and not surprisingly, Avatar and James Cameron featured heavily. Weta Digital’s Senior Visual Effects Supervisor Joe Letteri, Visual Effects Supervisor Stephen Rosenbaum and Animation Director Andrew R. Jones along with Animation Supervisor Richard Baneham of Lightstorm, were recognised with a Best Special Effects award. Huge congratulations!

Xenofi… Fenoxy… Xenodefugio Subtiltus
Trust Greg Broadmore, evil genius and creator of Dr. Grordbort’s to come up with a name like that. All we know is that this is a fantastical insect specimen, even if it is from Venus, and it would look awesome in any home. That only 50 are hand made here at Weta Workshop also makes it into a highly sought-after collectible piece of art. It joins the two previously released specimens, the Blue Sacked Pillock and the Nandy Duke which were released earlier in the year. Order yours here!

Dr. Grordbort’s Exceptional Exhibition moves to Shanghai
After Sichuan and Hong Kong, it’s time for Dr. Grordbort’s Exceptional Exhibition to travel to Shanghai. This was announced at a press conference with actor Jackie Chan, director Stanley Tong and Richard Taylor. The exhibition will open in Shanghai on 8 August, during the World Expo that’s currently taking place in Shanghai.

You are keeping up to date with the Comic-Con Updates we hope?

Minas Morgul? Doors of Durin? Rivendell? Lothlorien?
Since we announced our return to Middle-earth a year ago, we have released The Argonath (sold out), Bag End and The Prancing Pony environments from The Lord of the Rings. What should be next? Minas Tirith? Grond? Orthanc? The Green Dragon? Black Gate? Join in the discussion and vote!

Gandalf — where art thou?
There is a persistant rumour that Gandalf may have visited Weta recently to re-acquaint himself with Glamdring? You will HEAR more next week…
