Last Tuesday, right before I went to bed, my RSS app started muttering that the “World of Warcraft” movie finally had a director — Sam Raimi. By Wednesday, just about every entertainment blog I read had something to say on the subject, mostly ranging from “Yay!” to “ZOMG YAY!!!1!” with a collection of plot ideas and casting suggestions thrown in.
But the latest “Halo” movie news has sparked a resounding “Boo.” Peter Jackson was teed up to be part of the film and a companion video game, “Halo Chronicles.” After the “District 9″ premiere, Jackson told Joystiq that the whole “Halo” project, including the video game, has fallen apart. “District 9″ more or less exists because the “Halo” project fizzled out.
It’s Comic-Con eve, and instead of boarding a terrifying plane to San Diego, I’m once again poring over schedules and RSS feeds to figure out what I’m saddest I’ll miss — besides what I mentioned last time. Here’s what’s in that sweet spot in the Venn diagram where the sets “Stuff I Like,” “Stuff I Haven’t Seen” and “Stuff That Probably Won’t Be at Dragon*Con (Or on TV in a Few Months)” overlap.
As with pretty much any Con, times, rooms and pretty much everything else are subject to change. The full schedule’s on the SDCC site, and there’s also a free, official iPhone app.
