Live From Comic-Con: Kiefer, Sam Jackson & More... Oh My!
It's day two here and I have embraced my inner nerd and busted out my Wonder Woman T-shirt.
First up was a breakfast at the Hard Rock Hotel for a Kiefer Sutherland horror movie called "Mirrors." Watch the trailer on line it's seriously creepy. I arrived late and was fortunate enough to miss the preview footage which apparently showed a scene in a bathtub where Amy Smart (who plays Kiefer’s sister in the film) sees her reflection in a mirror and rips her jaw off. Gross! Glad I missed that. I guess the geeks thought it was pretty cool. Amy said it was actually fun to film with the prosthetic jaw.
This is Kiefer's first foray into the horror genre and he told reporters at the breakfast his favorite horror movie was a seventies film called "The Car," which sounded a lot like "Christine" where a possessed by the devil car terrorizes people.
I got a little one-on-one time with Kiefer who after the breakfast told me he hates mirrors and only has one in his entire house in the bathroom. I find this hard to believe!
Next, I hit the convention center floor to do a little shopping for my best friend’s son. He's two-and-a-half and I wanted him to have his first Superman and Batman action figures. I noticed yesterday that the fanboys here really pay no attention to pretty girls and this was no more evident than when I walked by a booth where a Playboy bunny was signing autographs and no one was there! However, just a few booths away, a bunch of comic books writers were being mobbed for autographs.
While I was walking the floor, I had one of those only at Comic Con moments where true nerds abound. I heard this guy looking at toys and he remarked to his friend, "Ooooh the original Megatron reproduction!" Classic.
From nerds to ultra cool, next I went up to interview Samuel L. Jackson who is promoting "The Spirit." How many movies has this man been in?! He told me he liked my T-shirt and then chuckled and said, "There was a wonder woman in the elevator today. She was a Weight Watchers Wonder Woman though.”
Big day tomorrow when I get to hit the "Lost" panel and hopefully learn some season five secrets!
