    Comic Con 2013 Schedule for Friday Released

    EG-Comic-Con

    Comic Con International has released the schedule for Friday, July 19. While the attention may be focused on the star-studded panel scheduled for Thursday, there are two Ender’s Game related panels scheduled for Friday.

    A panel for various professionals in the art department for films will take place from 12:30 to 1:30 in Room 24ABC and includes Ender’s Game art director Clint Wallace.

    The Feature Film Art Department: The Art of Collaboration-and the Collaboration of Artists

    How do as few as five – or as many as 50 – artists work together to create a coherent, believable world in which to stage the action of the modern motion picture? Members of the art department of Captain America: First Avenger discuss working on the film in Los Angeles while the film was shooting in London. Panelists include moderator and supervising art director John Dexter (also Pirates of the Caribbean 2 & 3), conceptual model maker Jeff Frost (Star Trek Into Darkness), lead vehicle designer Daniel Simon (Tron: Uprising), graphic designer Karen TenEyck (The Lone Ranger), and set designer and assistant art director Clint Wallace (Men in Black 3, Enders Game as art director).

    Another panel in the same room will feature costume designers including Alan Villanueva from Ender’s Game.

    Welcome to the New Age

    Top costume illustrators from the Costume Designers Guild IATSE Local 892 talk about their latest projects and the changing world of illustration in the digital and 3D age, followed by a Q&A. Featured panelists are Keith Christensen (Man of Steel, Star Wars 7, Tomorrowland), Phillip Boutte Jr. (Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Man of Steel), Constantine Sekeris (Star Trek, G.I. Joe: Retaliation), Alan Villanueva (Oz, the Great & Powerful, Enders Game, Defiance), and Christian Cordella (Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier, Oblivion, 300: Rise of an Empire). Moderated by author Peter Clines (Ex-Heros, Ex-Patriots).

  • Comic Con 2013 Thursday Schedule Released

    Comic Con 2013 Thursday Schedule Released

    Comic-Con-Thursday

    Comic Con International has begun rolling out their schedule and today they released the schedule for Thursday. Ender’s Game is slotted for 3:50 PM in Hall H along with Summit’s YA title Divergent.

    With the two films sharing a one hour slot, that doesn’t seem to leave a whole lot of time for Ender’s Game, a half an hour at most. Hopefully they pack in as much as they can!

    Stars Harrison Ford, Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, and Abigail Breslin will be there along with producer Bob Orci and director Gavin Hood.

    Ender’s Game fans heading to San Diego Comic Con next month have a lot to look forward to! Summit Entertainment has just unveiled their Ender’s Game plans for the convention and it is a doozy. See the press release below:

    Summit Entertainment will showcase the studio’s highly anticipated film event ENDER’S GAME at Comic-Con 2013, presenting never-before-seen new footage, appearances by cast members and filmmakers, and several massive, interactive fan events. A full slate of activities related to the film to be unveiled at this year’s Comic-Con, including:

    Hall H Panel – The studio’s panel on Thursday, July 18th will feature ENDER’S GAME filmmakers and cast, including producer Bob Orci, director Gavin Hood, and cast members Harrison Ford, Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld and Abigail Breslin.

    Exclusive Fan Experience – Attendees will be able to visit an elaborate, specially constructed ENDER’S GAME exhibit outside of the Hilton Gaslamp, featuring 8 unique rooms representing the most iconic environments of Ender’s world, complete with original film props and set pieces used in the movie.  Throughout the experience, attendees will be able to see exclusive film footage on LED screens, interact with new digital content, integrate photos of themselves into the highly anticipated Battle Room, and register to win a home make over.

    Convention Floor Booth – Summit Entertainment’s booth located within the Grand Hall will highlight ENDER’S GAME footage. Premium promotional items will be distributed to the 120,000 attendees walking the convention floor, and booth visitors will be given the opportunity to win “fast passes” to the ENDER’S Game Exclusive Fan Experience, granting them entry without having to wait in line.

    ENDERS GAME Film Information:

    Based on the best-selling, award winning novel, ENDER’S GAME is an epic adventure directed by Gavin Hood starring Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis, with Abigail Breslin and Harrison Ford. In the near future, a hostile alien race has attacked Earth. In preparation for the next attack, the humans begin training only the best students to find their future leader. Ender Wiggin, a shy, but strategically brilliant young man is pulled out of his school to join the elite. Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters the training, distinguishing himself and winning respect amongst his peers. He is soon ordained as the military’s next great hope and is charged to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race.

    OddLot Entertainment, K/O Paper Products, and Digital Domain are production partners on the film, with Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman producing via their K/O Paper Products banner, Gigi Pritzker and Linda McDonough producing via OddLot Entertainment, along with Orson Scott Card and Lynn Hendee.

    If you live in the San Diego area but don’t have tickets, you seriously need to consider heading down to see the Fan Experience. I mean look at it. EIGHT rooms of sets? Exclusive footage? And this is outside the convention, meaning you don’t need a Comic Con badge! That’s like a free set visit right there!

    SDCC

    Those of you that didn’t get a badge for SDCC at the extremely short-lived ticket sale earlier this year will have a chance to buy returned tickets in June 2013 during the badge resale. These tickets were returned by ticket purchasers who got badges during the first sale and CCI is putting them up for sale again. These tickets will be non-refundable.

    Anyone who would like to participate in the resale must have a Comic-Con Member ID. A Member ID is required for everyone attending Comic-Con. Please click here to sign-up for a Member ID today. Member ID registration will temporarily close without notice prior to badge resales, so be sure to sign up well in advance.

    Since SDCC would be a prime platform for debuting a new trailer and hosting a panel, Ender fans won’t want to miss out. Be sure you read all of their info about the resale here.
