As you may or may not know, world famous comic convention Comic-Con has been going on for the past couple of days over in San Diego, California. There have been a number of interesting announcements related to the world of film, many of which shed light on previously hazy situations. First up, was a little bit of plot info regarding the sequel to Danny Boyle’s “28 Days Later” (which Boyle will not be a part of). “28 Weeks Later picks up six months after the Rage virus has decimated the city of London . The US Army has restored order and is repopulating the quarantined city, when a carrier of the Rage virus enters London and unknowingly re-ignites the spread of the deadly infection, wreaking havoc on the entire population.” Plot holes and problems? Yes, as we all predicted.

Next in line was a rumour regarding the Silver Surfer’s appearance in the upcoming Fantastic Four 2 movie. Speculative theories informed us that Doug Jones may be providing motion capture work for the role, but he denied the rumours despite apparently now being in negotiations for the position. Following close on the heels of that was a slightly more exciting bit of news - the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trailer is here! The new trailer went live on Apple Trailers yesterday and shows the turtles prancing about the city in a ninja-like fashion - really what you’d expect, but at least it’s looking great!

There’s more? Yes there’s more, Dean Devlin, co-creator of the popular sci-fi series Stargate, has revealed that he would like the Stargate movies to be a trilogy and may pursue the creation of Stargate 2 and 3. “I have made a several picture deal to release films through MGM and suddenly now I’m finally in a position where I can do those sequels, and so I’m in talks with MGM about doing parts two and three, which I’ve always wanted to do. I think we’ll probably let this live as its own thing and try not to interfere in the SG universe, because there’s such a big bible now that you could enter really tricky territory. And I think this can stand on its own, so we’ll be careful not to tread on any toes.” An interesting proposal to be sure, but does Stargate have the staying power to be a successful trilogy?

I’m going to stop typing now, my fingers need a rest. But if you’re still hungry for more Comic-Con news, these are the places I would go to pick-up mine: Empire Online, Comic Book Conventions, Rotten Tomatoes and Newsarama. Enjoy!
