      Including SCUD the Disposable Assassin in this collage earns some points from me.

    Doesn’t it always shake out this way? I’ve been going to cons for years and wondering why there wasn’t any documentary covering the subject. Now, we’ve got not one, but at least two in the pipeline. There was, of course, THE CON, an indy film we reported on last week.  And then there’s COMIC-CON EPISODE FOUR: A FAN’S HOPE, which is shooting next month in San Diego. Seeing as how the con’s only (yikes!) about four weeks away, now, it’d figure that the documentarists of the later would be ramping up their search for the most memorable attendees. SUPER-SIZE ME provocateur Morgan Spurlock is involved in this and, in light of that, I  figured this would just be a feature-length goof on fans. However, Stan Lee, Joss Whedon and Harry Knowles are also part of the brain trust behind this doc and Legendary Pictures is producing it.   Considering that Legendary’s movies - - DARK KNIGHT, 300, WATCHMEN, et al - - have benefited considerably from buzz at SDCC, I doubt they’re about to bite the hands the feed them.  And judging by this press release on Spurlock’s website, it sounds like this will be balanced between spoof and celebration.

    Are you headed to 2010 Comic-Con® International in San Diego? Do you die for diehard fandom? Do you pine over Chris Pine, other Captain Kirks, or have firsthand knowledge of who is the ultimate Bruce Wayne? Is your Lost Ark a long lost collectible, an original edition comic book, a need to be the first in line at a sneak peak of Green Lantern, or to understand the ultimate and undeniable power of Akira?! Are you the original inspiration for comic book guy? Is your collection the biggest? Is your costume the best? Is your dream to propose to your girlfriend and give her the one ring to rule them all? Are you an artist who is showing off your work? A vendor showing off your amazing collection?

    If you are any of these things, then we want to hear your story.

    Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, producer Thomas Tull, comic book icon Stan Lee, writer/producer Joss Whedon, and film guru Harry Knowles have joined together to bring audiences the feature-length documentary COMIC-CON® EPISODE FOUR: A FANS HOPE - a documentary celebration of all things con-tastic!

    We are looking to cast original, eccentric, funny, touching, and mildly obsessive people that will capture the excitement, enthusiasm, joy, and passion of comic book, anime, sci-fi, and fantasy lovers everywhere.
    Morgan Spurlock’s site is asking potential stars to send their name, phone number, picture and  "story" to ComicConDoc@gmail.com, while Bleeding Cool’s got additional addys for mlg@warrior-poets.com and casting associate Sarah Scott-Farber’s ssfcasting@gmail.com .    

    Which of you Comic Vine maniacs are going to SDCC next year? Do you figure this is a spotlight you’ll be pursuing? What angles make YOU stand out from the competition? And, most importantly, if you're going to SDCC, are you going to make a point to say hello to the Comic Vine staff while we’re there?

    I am going to SDCC for the first time and I sent Warrior Poets a email and have at their request made two videos for their consideration. 
     
    I just figured why the hell not, might as well make the most out of my first trip to the con.

    I will say "Hi" to IE (then have a lightsaber battle against him) and say "Hello" to Tom P (and fear of another takeover)... Probably bow down the awesomeness that is Babs and Tony... then I would ask for Ana's autograph and maybe hug Red LAMP although he is evil... 
    I will also wave and shake hands with Riezner and everybody else from the CV staff (I'm not sure who else is going)...

    @Mosedogg:  Do they stipulate that you can't show them publicly yet? Otherwise, you ought to put them on Youtube and embed here.

    You know that they are only going to get people that are literally nuts in this. I don't think this is going to do a service to normal people who like the stuff we do. 
     
    If they don't get the outliers then I don't see how it can be a good movie.
