- The Walking Dead website unveiled the final version of their teaser image for San Diego Comic-Con, which includes the logos of companies Skybound, Vannen Watches, October Toys, Jinx, Scott Tolleson,, and McFarlane Toys. No official word on what the companies will be doing at San Diego Comic-Con, but we think it’s a safe bet you can expect The Walking Dead exclusives from all of them.
- The Kick-started documentary The Death of “Superman Lives”: What Happened?, which will tell the tale of the unmade Tim Burton/Nicolas Cage/Kevin Smith Superman film, will debut the full trailer at Comic-Con, according to an Instagram post by the film’s director, John Schnepp. You can donate to help the completion of the film and get your name in the credits.
- Star Wars Rebels Executive Producer Dave Filoni wrote in a Facebook post that he wouldn’t be able to make the trip to Orlando for Walt Disney World’s Star Wars Weekends due to the show’s production demands, but hints that he’ll be at SDCC. Could he be fast-tracking production for a big Comic-Con preview of the upcoming series? [thanks @EricIGN for the tip!]
