litheraJohn Barrowman keeps saying that he wants to play Captain America. Man. I think he could probably pull off Steve Rogers.
Archaia has announced that it will produce original graphic novels exclusively for the the Kindle. iPhone and iPod users can get these comics via Kindle’s app on the iTunes store. I will be very interested in seeing what this experience is like. I don't know any of Archaia's stuff, which makes it even more interesting right now.
There are some Iron Man 2 screen shots over here: http://www.lyricis.fr/cinema-dvd-serie/comic-con-09-exclusivite-premieres-images-diron-man-2-et-war-machine/ They're not very good but there is one of War Machine.
Bryce Dallas Howard will take the role of Victoria in the upcoming production of Eclipse (Twilight 3).
Variety says that Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment are turning "The Lorax" into a 3-D CG animated feature.
The Independent, a UK newspaper, says that Miley Cyrus is set to star in a remake of The Bodyguard with Hugh Jackman opposite her. That whole idea hurts my brain. First of all, remaking that movie and remaking it with a 16 year old and a 40 year old? REALLY? WHAAAAT?
IDW has announced that Bill Willingham will be taking over the “Angel” series beginning with issue #28. Woohooo!
The Lost panel was mostly misdirection but there were some confirmations that the whole "blow it all up" plan worked. Oceanic having a 30 accident free record, Hurley having started a fried chicken chain, Kate being on America's Most Wanted... And, of course, Charlie not being dead.
Tiny Titans book won the Eisner for Best Publication for Kids. And there is, really, no better funny book out there. It is entirely hilarious every month.
At the Book of Eli panel, Gary Oldman said that the filming of the third Batman movie would start next year. The writers sort of shrugged in reponse to that and said that Nolan is still doing other things and when he's done, we'll have more knowledge of what the Batman timetable looks like.
I'll write up my own observations of these panels soonish but work is crazy time, trying to catch up on everything and be in meetings. Per Bleeding Cool, "San Diego Conference Center has been told by the San Diego Comic Con organisers that they must significantly increase the size of the building and available facilities by 2011, or Comic Con International will move locations". It has to happen if it is going to stay in San Diego. It is simply just too big for that building. There are other places that are starting to put in bids for the convention, including Las Vegas. While I really would not look forward to Vegas in July, they certainly have the space in the convention center. Having been there for CES and PMA, the place is certainly big enough. And it would be nice to see famiy and friends down there.
And there will be more updates over time.

And suckage for Rachelle Lefevre. I liked her back on (I know, I know, but I was a high schooler at the time) Big Wolf on Campus. Always thought she was kind of pretty. But eh. Bryce Dallas Howard. I did like her Gwen Stacy.

A lot of their stuff is on Indie Press Revolution - Direct Link to their Publisher Page there.
