9:00 - Q: “Will William and Marcus be in this movie?”
A: “Well, we talk about them. They won’t be actively part of the story, but they are the roots of it.”
People are starting to get bored, and new folks are filing in. We keep getting asked, “Has the Pineapple Express part started yet?!”
8:58 - Rhona Mitra is going on and on about how strong her character Celine is. She’s been talking for quite awhile now, and someone shouts “YOU’RE HOT!”
Rhona explains that she wears an extremely skimpy outfit in this movie, “I think you’ll all be satisfied… I know the crew were.”
8:55 - Bill Nighy is being praised for all of his work, including The Girl in the Cafe… nice! I sincerely suspect that hardly anyone in this massive hall has even seen that movie. If you haven’t, go out and rent it right now.”
The little kid from earlier today is back… seriously, did Comic-Con hire this guy? He wants to know if the movie is all story, or all action, or a balance of both.
Director Patrick Tatopoulos said “It’ll have a good, strong story, but you’ll also see armies of werewolves attacking.”
8:52 - According to Rhona Mitra, it’s a bit “Rome and Juliet-esque.”
Bill: “I’m a vampire, I’m a zombie, and I’m a squid. How many people do you know who can make that claim?”
BIll: “I was very lucky to be in the first film, which we made for a modest financial amount. It was a hit in America, and just look at us now.”
Kevin Grevioux has a voice that sounds like Barry White gargling glass, literally. It’s almost like pure evil.
8:49 - Rhona Mitra, Bill Nighy, and Kevin Grevioux take the stage to talk about the flick.
Kate Beckinsale is suspiciously absent, although she’s been a Comic-Con mainstay for the first two Underworld films and Whiteout, so maybe she’s earned a break.
8:48 - Now they’re showing us footage from Underworld, which is a prequel to the other films.
The footage isn’t quite done, the effects are extremely rough, and it looks a hell of a lot like… Underworld 1, and Underworld 2.
Seriously, I haven’t seen any of these Underworld flicks. Am I missing out?
8:45 - Quarantine is based on the Spanish film Rec, as in the “Rec” that appears in the viewfinder when you use a video camera, and it actually looks fairly good. Think The Blair Witch Project, with zombies, in a 28 Days Later kind of fast-cut movie. Creepy.
8:41 - Here we go… Eddie Ibrahim from Comic-Con is back out front to introduce “One more great panel for you guys tonight!”
So here’s…. oh, Jeff Walker. Also from Comic-Con. Here’s the Quarantine trailer… the edgier version.
