Check out the new poster for Warner Bros Pictures’ Pacific Rim directed by Guillermo del Toro. The poster was created for the San Diego Comic Con, and del Toro will be joining the film’s stars Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi and Ron Perlman for a “special look” at the film on Saturday, July 14th, in Hall H. If you’re lucky enough to have passes to this year’s Con, the Warner Bros panel on Saturday with Pacific Rim, The Hobbit, and Man of Steel is one of the event’s must-sees.
The Plot:
Lawless is the true story of the infamous Bondurant Brothers: bootlegging siblings who made a run for the American Dream in Prohibition-era Virginia. In this epic gangster tale, inspired by true-life tales of author Matt Bondurant’s family in his novel The Wettest County In The World, the loyalty of three brothers is put to the test against the backdrop of the nation’s most notorious crime wave.

Official Synopsis: It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act.
But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.

The new series is made up of 26 half-hour episodes featuring the familiar heroes in a half shell: Leonardo (voiced by Jason Biggs), Raphael (Sean Astin), Michelangelo (Greg Cipes), and Donatello (Rob Paulsen, the voice of Raphael in the 1987-1996 series).
The other key characters are voiced by Mae Whitman as ‘April O’Neil,’ Hoon Lee as ‘Master Splinter,’ and Kevin Michael Richardson as ‘Shredder.’
The Plot:
Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles begins as the turtles emerge from their hidden lair in the sewers for the very first time, ready to confront the wondrous and hostile world of New York City and face enemies more dangerous and pizza more delicious than anything they could have imagined. Funnier and with more Ninjutsu than ever before, the show will explore the companionship of four teenage brothers learning to rely on themselves and one another as they unravel the mystery of their existence and grow to become the heroes in a half-shell that they are destined to be.

Seriously? That would be a hard no, but thank you. Lucasfilm is bringing live snakes to Comic-Con as part of a promotion for the September 18th high-definition Blu-ray release of the Indiana Jones series (the first time they’ll be available on high-def Blu-ray). Comic-Con attendees will be able to pose for photos “with a recreation of the famous Well of Souls scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark, complete with throngs of live snakes!”
The snakes/Well of Souls photo op will be available Wednesday, July 11th through Sunday, July 15th during show hours at booth 2913. In case you’re wondering, I won’t be going anywhere near booth 2913 during the event.

Season two of Syfy’s popular series Alphas premieres on Monday, July 23rd at 10pm, and the network’s released a list of guest stars who’ll be appearing on the upcoming episodes. Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Rudy), C. Thomas Howell (Southland), Lauren Holly (NCIS), Steve Byers (Immortals, Total Recall), Kandyse McClure (Battlestar Galactica) and Noah Reid (Rookie Blue) will guest star this season, with season one guest stars John Pyper-Ferguson, Kathleen Munroe, and Mahershala Ali also set to return.

The Plot:
Alphas stars David Strathairn as Dr. Lee Rosen, Malik Yoba as Bill Harken, Warren Christie as Cameron Hicks, Azita Ghanizada as Rachel Pirzad, Ryan Cartwright as Gary Bell and Laura Mennell as Nina Theroux. Erin Way joins the cast this season as Kat, a mysterious young loner whose Alpha ability equips her with perfect muscle memory, making her a “quick study.” But while her skills are permanent, her personal memories are short-lived.
Alphas follows a clandestine group of ordinary people with superhuman mental and physical abilities. Led by preeminent neurologist and psychiatrist Dr. Lee Rosen, the unlikely team takes on cases the CIA, FBI and Pentagon are unwilling or unable to solve going head-to-head with many of the criminal Alphas hiding among the normal population.
The new season picks up eight months after last year’s stunning season finale with the stage set for an explosive turn of events at the Binghamton facility (the Guantanamo of the Alpha world) that could have devastating, far-reaching consequences. Dr. Lee Rosen, having exposed the existence of Alphas to the unsuspecting public, finds himself discredited and imprisoned by a government desperate to cover up his stunning revelation. Some of the team have disbanded and without Dr. Rosen’s care and guidance, have regressed to their old, destructive ways. They must now battle their individual demons, reunite and try to save their own.
