Abduction
''It's a movie for everyone,'' promises Taylor Lautner (pictured, with Lily Collins) of this thriller, in which he plays a high school senior who finds a picture of himself on a missing-persons website and sets out to learn his true identity. ''It's not only got action, but it's also a mystery with a lot of cool twists and turns, and romance, too.'' This will be the 19-year-old's third trip to Comic-Con, and the self-proclaimed superhero fan (''Iron Man is one of my favorite movies'') says he'd enjoy walking
around the convention and checking out the other attractions — if he could. ''We've definitely talked and laughed about it: What if we put on a wig and prosthetics and went for it?'' he laughs. ''But in the end, we're too chicken.'' (Sept. 23, 2011)
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1
Bill Condon has never been to Comic-Con, nor has he ever seen for himself what can happen when Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner get in a room with thousands of screaming fans. ''It sounds insane! It sounds exciting,'' he laughs. Comic-Con-bound Twihards can expect some never-before-seen clips from the highly anticipated penultimate chapter of The Twilight Saga — ''I'm trying to figure that out now,'' says Condon. 'It's a bit of a challenge 'cause we don't want to give away the
wedding dress, and some of the other big action scenes have wolves that won't be ready in time'' — in
addition to a Q&A with the stars and the director. (Nov. 18, 2011)
Immortals
Although the sword-and-sandal epic is being billed as ''from the producers of 300,'' don't expect a replica of the 2007 blockbuster. ''If you liked 300, you'll enjoy this,'' says surrealist director Tarsem Singh (The Cell), ''but 300 is more of a comic-strip film, while this is a painting.'' The big-budget action movie is loosely based on Greek mythology and the tale of Theseus. ''We just took the myth to tell the story we wanted to tell,'' Singh explains. That story features Theseus (Henry Cavill, here with Joseph Morgan) as aMen’s Health-worthy stonemason who, with a little help from Mount Olympus, recruits an army to battle the homicidal king Hyperion (Mickey Rourke). There will be blood — lots of 3-D blood. Or as Singh puts it: ''You'll feel the violence.'' (Nov. 11, 2011)
