Comic-Con 2009 : 'New Moon'


Every summer, the Hollywood Santa leaves the North Pole for San Diego. He slips down the Convention Center chimney for four very special days, leaving good geeks exclusive treats, never-before-seen footage and movie-star encounters. They call it Comic-Con, and it is Christmas for movie lovers.

"New Moon" (Thursday at 1:45 p.m., Hall H) — As anyone who owns the DVD has seen in the bonus features, "Twilight" mania erupted last year at Comic-Con, as the seemingly little-known film inspired die-hards to line up in record numbers. Now, San Diego is ready for "New Moon" mania, and our own Hollywood Crush will even be embedding a reporter to camp out with the Twilighters, providing up-to-the-minute experiences while waiting in line. As your home for all things "Twilight," you can trust MTV to be all over this panel like Jasper Hale on Bella's bloody finger. The cast of "Astro Boy" and "Sorority Row" will also be participating in the panel, answering such probing questions as "When will Robert Pattinson walk onstage?''

The convention, like many, offers a variety of special guest appearances - from Twilight actors to fangroup personalities and inspired music groups - and a great number of fantastic events.

The special guests featured at the event include Twilight and New Moon stars Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone, Kellan Lutz, Michael Welch, Billy Burke, and Christian Serratos. Also included are musicians Josiah Leming, Sage, Marcus Foster, Sam Bradley, Bobby Long, The Twilight Music Girls, Mitch Hansen Band, 100 Monkeys, The Bella Cullen Project. From the fandom, we have TwiGirl (Shannon Bayless), Lisa Hansen of the Twilight Moms, The Hillywood Show, Twilight Series Theories, M2 Parodies, TwiCurls, and Kaleb Nation (Twilight Guy), and Evil Iguana Productions.
