Saturday is the big day for Hall H every year. It’s the day when the big guns come out and if you missed Hall H this year…you missed out on the best Hall H in years.
So, the panel started with Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Django Unchained’ and the 8 minutes of footage was just as good as what we had already seen. Following that we got to check out footage from ‘End Of Watch’ and ‘Silent Hill: Revelations’ which both looked great.
So let’s get into what you all want to know.
Legendary and Warner Bros. brought it. If you’re read the trending “#holyshit” in regards to ‘Pacific Rim’ that is honestly the best way to describe it. The footage looked amazing and unless someone bootlegged it you will not see this footage any time soon. They are going silent on it but when you do see it…be prepared to be amazed.
Following this we got a teaser trailer that made about 6,000 people lose their shit as soon as they heard that trademark Godzilla scream. The teaser was great and the fact that they will be taking a realistic approach to the movie make it seem like this one is going to be fantastic.
‘Man Of Steel’. What can I say about this? It brought fans to tears. This movie is Superman’s version of ‘Batman Begins’. I don’t even like Superman and I got choked up watching this. There were actually quite a few fans that went up to ask questions with tears of joy in their eyes. It looks phenomenal and Cavill looks perfect as Superman/Clark Kent. I don’t believe you will see the full footage that we saw but I can now confirm you will be getting a teaser trailer attached to ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ next week. Get excited.
‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ aka the panel that had more screaming fans than any. They showed 13 minutes of footage here and if you’ve been hearing anything negative about him shooting at 48 frames per second…have no worries. The film looks beautiful and will either live up to or surpass the ring trilogy. We did not get to see Smaug but we did get treated to some great scenes including one involving Gollum and Bilbo. Ring fans…you will not be let down.
So on to the next big gun aka Marvel Studios. Let’s just say I batted 100 here with this one. We had a special appearance by Edgar Wright where he showed us the ‘Ant-Man’ test footage and it looked so fucking good. The suit was definitely a mix between Pym and Eric O’Grady’s and will translate really well.
Following that we got two title announcements. ‘Thor: The Dark World’ and ‘Captain America: The Winter Solider’. You read that right fans…lose your fucking mind because we will see what you wanted since day one.
Remember when I told you that Guardians Of The Galaxy are coming to the big screen? Guess what…they are. We were shown some concept art that you see above and given our first look at the team that consists of Rocket Raccoon, Star-Lord, Drax, Groot and Gamora.
Marvel then brought out the cast and director of ‘Iron Man 3’ who brought with them some footage of a few scenes including a teaser trailer that is going to make Marvel fans lose their fucking minds. We got a first look at Tony trying out his new suit with the extremis tech. The biggest “holy fucking shit” moment of the teaser? Let’s just say the crowd went wild seeing a certain Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin. And yes…he had the rings on.
Check back tomorrow because I may do a more detailed podcast where I can get more into it.
