Comic-con update.

Comic-Con is underway and has thus far released some interesting tid-bits of information. Although little big-ticket information was announced so far some news from panels and media have come out of the San Diego convention.

There have been a number of screenings and interviews with projects that have already been confirmed such as the upcoming Fox show Fringe and the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Notably absent (so far) was news on the recent announcement of a film adaptation of the hit X-Box game Gears of War, which will be produced by New Line Cinema.

Thus far the highlight has been new news on X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Along with a spirited interview with Hugh Jackman, a new trailer for the film was premiered for the audience.

Disney also gave the convention goers a shot of adrenaline when they debuted footage for a sequel to the groundbreaking 1982 classic Tron. The trailer featured an update of the well-known cycle race from the film and Jeff Bridges (star of the original) returning.

What other new announcements in the world of comics and entertainment will be unveiled before the convention closes on Sunday the 27th is anyone’s guess.
