Sounds sooo fun! I thought about getting in on the action for a hot minute. =)Posted 8 hrs ago by Blair Marnell in News
Back in February, word began to spread that "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon and Morgan Spurlock were joining forces to create a documentary about the San Diego Comic-Con International. And apparently, they won't be alone.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Whedon and Spurlock will produce "Comic-Con Episode Four: A Fan's Hope" along with legendary comic book creator Stan Lee and Ain't it Cool News founder Harry Knowles. Thomas Tull and Jeremy Chilnick are also on board as producers.
The film reportedly follows seven fans from around the world as they prepare to attend this year's Comic-Con. It is currently scheduled to begin shooting in June and will also be filmed in San Diego during the annual fest.
Spurlock is best known for his documentary "Super-Size Me" and has previously filmed a portion of "The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special" at last year's show. According to Spurlock, his experiences at the convention helped lead to this current project.
"It was such an overwhelming experience for me, and I soon found out that I was not alone," Spurlock told the trade. "So for me to get to share the experience of Comic-Con with fans all over the world will be an incredible opportunity."
"We look forward to capturing the spirit, energy and people that Comic-Con has infused into legions of fans, bringing these audiences and projects out of the Halls and onto a world stage," added Tull.
San Diego Comic-Con International is one of the largest conventions of its kind in the world and in the past few years has become a massive staging ground for the larger world of pop culture, films, TV and video games.
