15.) Eastwick Pilot Screening and Q&A [Saturday 10:15-11:15 -- Room 6A]
One of the most anticipated series of the fall, this series based on the John Updike novel and the hit film The Witches of Eastwick will make its first public screening at Comic-Con. The series centers on three young witches whose powers are awakened when a mysterious man moves to town. Panel will include stars Rebecca Romijn (X-Men), Lindsay Price (Lipstick Jungle), Jaime Ray Newman (Veronica Mars), and Paul Gross (Due South) with creator/exec producer Maggie Friedman (Related) and director/exec producer David Nutter (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles). Produced by Warner Bros. Television, Eastwick will air Wednesdays at 10:00 PM ET/PT this fall on ABC.

14.) Overture Films: Pandorum [Thursday 5:15-5:45 -- Hall H]
The producers of the Resident Evil series bring their latest sci-fi thriller to Comic-Con. Attendees will get never-before-seen looks at Pandorum where two crewmembers wake up on an abandoned spacecraft with no idea who they are, how long they've been asleep, or what their mission is. The two soon discover they're actually not alone -- and the reality of their situation is more horrifying than they could have imagined. Panel includes producer Paul Anderson and stars Ben Foster (X-Men: The Last Stand, 3:10 to Yuma, 30 Days of Night), Cung Le (The Ultimate Fighter), and Antje Traue.

13.) Robert Rodriguez [Friday 1:45-2:45 -- Room 6DE]
Troublemaker Studio's Robert Rodriguez (Spy Kids) will be at the Con showing off his new family film, Shorts. But I'm sure he'll get into other future projects like Predators and Sin City 2.

From one of the most kick-ass comics comes one of the most anticipated films at Comic-Con.

12.) Kick-Ass [Thursday 5:45-6:30 -- Hall H]
The highly anticipated comic adaptation with world premiere footage at the Con. The story follows a comic book geek who decides he wants to be a hero, but learns bloody quick that it takes far more than a costume to be a superhero. Fans will get a chance to ask questions of director Matthew Vaughn (Stardust, Layercake), Nicolas Cage, Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad) and comic co-creator John Romita Jr., including a surprise guest.
