Over the past few days the official schedule for the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con has been slowly making its way online, setting the stage for what's sure to be the geekiest event of the year for movie fans, TV fans, comic fans and everyone in between. Movies.com will be on the ground at this year's Comic-Con (July 20-24) covering a bunch of the movie-related offerings, making sure to bring back the bits and pieces we know you'll want to read about.
Instead of posting the full schedules for each day, we decided to wait till the end and round up what we feel are the top 10 movie-related panels at this year's convention. You'll see reports from all of these here at Movies.com, with some of them being covered by our Countdown column writers. In addition, we've highlighted the top 3 movie-related panels, just so you're aware of what the hottest, most buzzed-about events will be in San Diego this year. Note that this does not cover special events outside the convention (like the Cowboys & Aliens premiere), or any of the studio displays on the convention floor.
Please feel free to drop a line in the comments section and let us know what you're most interested in at this year's Comic-Con so we make sure to cover it for you. And for complete schedules, see the official Comic-Con website. (Note: Italics are ours; all other panel descriptions come from official site)
