We are proud to announce that the first 50 minutes of Disney•Pixar’s 10th film, UP, will screen for the first time at New York Comic Con. UP is a comedy adventure about 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic 9-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. From the Academy Award-nominated director Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc.), Disney*Pixar's UP invites you on a hilarious journey into a lost world, with the least likely duo on Earth.
Disney•Pixar’s UP screening will be introduced by director Pete Docter and producer Jonas Rivera on Saturday, February 7 at 6:30pm in the IGN Theater at New York Comic Con. Please note seating is EXTREMELY limited and interested attendees are recommended to arrive at 5:30 PM for a security check-in. No cameras, phones, or recording devices will be allowed at the screening, and all must be checked at the door.

Peter Sciretta wrote:This weekend at the New York Comic Con, Disney will be unveiling the first footage of Jonathan Mostow’s sci-fi comic book adaptation Surrogates. Bruce Willis stars as an FBI Agent who is sent to investigate the mysterious murder of a college student linked to the man who helped create a high-tech surrogate phenomenon that allows people to purchase unflawed robotic versions of themselves—fit, good looking remotely controlled machines that ultimately assume their life roles—enabling people to experience life vicariously from the comfort and safety of their own homes. The murder spawns a quest for answers: in a world of masks, who’s real and who can you trust?
IO9 showed up early at the convention hall and was able to snap this photo of this teaser banner/poster promoting a viral site for the film - chooseyoursurrogate.com. I have cleaned up the image. Head on over to the website as it’s completely functional and gives you a look at the company that provides the avatars - Virtual Self Industries
IDW will also be putting out a series of “Astro Boy” comics by Scott Tipton (and featuring some fantastic looking covers by Ashley Wood), including the adaptation of the upcoming movie with art by E.J. Su.
Scott Tipton briefly discussed his “Astro Boy” series as a change from the sardonic “Angel” material he had been working on. He described the character as “10 and quipless,” even though he has machine guns coming out of his butt. When asked if there would be any other Tezuka characters making appearances, he revealed there would be some “tips of the hat” in the adaptation, as the movie features the same.
The Super Young Team will be spotlighted in Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance (the title elicited some giggles from the crowd). "This is about them trying very hard to learn how to do the right thing, and still make their photo shoots, and find out what happens when they take off their costumes and their Q-rating goes down. This one is very sleazy," said Sattler.
February 7, 2009 - Director Takashi Miike made a rare appearance at NYCC this weekend to debut footage from his new giant-robot flick Yatterman, which is based on a classic anime of the same name. But during the presentation he let slip his interest in another toon, albeit a very different one: Afro Samurai.
"We don't necessarily get all the American comics in Japan but we do get a lot of the great stuff imported," the filmmaker said through a translator when asked about what American superhero properties he might like to tackle if he could. "For example, Afro Samurai is a show that a lot of people in Japan would really like to see turned into a live-action film as well."
Hmmmm. We can see it now… and you thought the cartoon version of Afro Samurai was bloody?!
Steve Younis wrote:io9.com interviewed director McG about his next move, asking him whether he'd want to try his hand at doing the next Superman movie...Are you willing to take another shot at Superman now that they are rebooting it again?
I talk to JJ [Abrams] a lot about that. We went through a lot on that whole thing, I don't know. I talk to the DC guys, [President Paul] Levitz is here and I just saw Greg. Food for thought. I think it's a great character, I would want to make the character infinitely more dark and complicated, and get away from the big Blue Boy Scout a little bit and get into the alien among us. And how that could be lonely and interesting. It's not that I would make it depressing, I'd would just make it a little tougher... Which I suspect people would respond to. We have the glorious Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, which to me is an excellent example. I like the Schumacher pictures and everything Burton did but it needed to be reinvented to some degree and I think we're all better for it. We're all happy it went that way at least. I haven't thought about it [editor's note...clearly].
The next picture I'm likely to make is 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Which is challenging, because it's got the classic literature roots and it's the film that Walt Disney sort of bet the farm on when he was only known for animation when he got involved in live action.

I only had 17 days to get 22 pages of work done. That, and i had to ink pages also. They needed it done right away and i had to strip down my work by 2 thirds just to make deadline.
NOT something i want to do again.
Trust me. I and Sgt. Murtaugh agree that i'm too old for this... especially that kind of schedule.
But don't worry. I didn't lose anything.. .i'll be doing work in Gotham Gazette #1 and soon will be doing a mini with Joe Casey called Dance that will come out of the Final Crisis storylines.....
Hope that explains my apparent lack of depth in my art
