When you think of Comic-Con, you immediately start thinking about the geeky faithful lining up to learn more about superheroes, vampires and mythical gnomes of all flavors. So, of course, Glee is a natural fit with all that. Wait, really? more »

Chris Hemsworth on Beating Brother Liam for Thor and Tabloid Rumors

Thumbnail for Chris Hemsworth on Beating Brother Liam for Thor and Tabloid Rumors

Last time Chris Hemsworth talked to Movieline, it was the week before his second audition for Kenneth Branagh’s Thor, and one of his main rivals for the part was his younger brother Liam. Chris went on to clinch the role, though Liam recovered nicely (you may know him from The Last Song or his high-profile romance with costar Miley Cyrus). Last night, I had the opportunity to ask Chris how that all played out within the Hemsworth family. more »

Fandango My Nango: The Saddest Costumed Man at Comic-Con was Back for More

Last year at Comic-Con, I encountered Fandango, the silent movie tickets mascot whose suffering of constant abuse from fratty San Diego types gave us the immortal saying, “Fandango my nango!” This year, Fandango brought reinforcements, and our time together ended with one of us a shriveled corpse. more »

Tommy Wiseau on Comic-Con, The Room 3D, and His Bloody New Project

Thumbnail for Tommy Wiseau on Comic-Con, The Room 3D, and His Bloody New Project

Did Movieline interview Tommy Wiseau at Comic-Con? How could we not! The enigmatic auteur behind the cult sensation The Room was there promoting his new project, an Atom.com short called The House That Drips Blood on Alex, and though Wiseau has a tendency to speak in riddles and koans (in endearing broken English), he dished a little on being an actor for hire, converting The Room into 3D, and whether he wants to do a film about Heath Ledger. more »

Amanda Bynes Returning to Acting

If you’ve been holding a candlelight vigil for the past five weeks over the end of Amanda Bynes’ acting career, some good news to report. Using her patented all-lowercase style and total lack of punctuation, the actress tweeted on Friday night that she has “unretired.” Just in time for the Easy A press tour too!

Star Trek 2 Delayed

Excited for a J.J. Abrams-helmed Star Trek 2 to start up soon? Hold your intergalactic horses, says Zachary Quinto. “I know there are sort of erroneous reports that we’re going back in January — not true, as far as I know,” he told MTV News at Comic-Con. Also, is J.J. so totally going to throw Trek over to direct Wicked, or am I reading too much into this apropos-of-nothing Quinto quote: “I would obviously love to see J.J. be directing every Star Trek movie that I’m ever affiliated with, but if it’s not the case I’m sure that whoever does will be someone that he has chosen and that he believes in for whatever reason.” [MTV]

After all the time he’s spent on the Iron Man franchise, Jon Favreau is a Comic-Con mainstay, but his new sci-fi western Cowboys and Aliens presented a problem: He’s only a few weeks into shooting it, so how could he possibly pull together yesterday’s panel (and some effects-laden first footage) in time? He told Movieline how he managed it, and why. more »

At Comic-Con, Danny DeVito is Looking for a Twisted Soul to Have Dinner With

Thumbnail for At Comic-Con, Danny DeVito is Looking for a Twisted Soul to Have Dinner With

He may be 65 years old, but Danny DeVito is plugged into youth culture: He has a twitter, a cult TV show, and a website called The Blood Factory full of low-budget, do-it-yourself horror shorts that he’s directed. He was promoting the latter at Comic-Con, where I found him holding court with wife Rhea Perlman in front of a bloody, disemboweled corpse. more »

Liz Phair has spent 17 years in the recording industry as a saint and a "sellout," a cavalier grandmaster of articulation whose monotone delivery and Stones-y dispassion on Exile in Guyville, her breakout 1993 album, inspired countless confessional female singer-songwriters.... more »

Stephanie Says

Somewhere midway through Phillip Noyce’s exhilarating, over-the-top yet strangely modest action-thriller Salt, Angelina Jolie, as on-the-run CIA agent Evelyn Salt, ducks into a ladies’ room to dress a nasty-looking flesh wound — with a maxi-pad….
