That shutter you felt in the earth's very crust was Conan O'Brien announcing the title for his new talkshow.

As his Twitter feed said:

"I announced the name of my show today right here: http://bit.ly/cc3jhU (Spoiler alert: The words "Tonight" and "Show" aren't in it.)"

What are you waiting for? He gave you the link.

This week seems to be all about the Fox movies.

WOLVERINE 2

According to Deadline, directors Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler, The Fountain) and David Slade (30 Days of Night, Twilight: Eclipse) are in talks to take on the Wolverine sequel.  Completely ignoring his ties to Twilight, Slade has heck of an eye.  I've only seen bits and pieces (no pun intended) of 30 Days of Night, but he certainly has a good visual style. 

Are you ready to yell at your computer monitor, "Why isn't this a movie already?"

Get ready.  Need a lozenge?  I'll wait.

OK, here you go. 

Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker, The Avengers) has been cast [edit: 8/27/10] is in negotiations as Tom Cruise's co-star in the upcoming Mission Impossible IV.  Renner will play an opperative opposite Ethan Hunt.

While we still wait for Jason (the artist formerly known as Captain) to post the final pics from Chicago Comic Con *Jer taps foot, looks at watch, whistles in a bored tone* yup... still waiting... click the pick to see the live-action 'Remember Reach' trailer.

I cannot wait to get my hands on this game.

While I suffer from con withdrawal, I sit down to find Bryan Singer called AICN's Harry Knowles over the weekend to clear up all this First Class confusion.

The high points:

So, my head wasn't spinning yesterday as much, so I guess I'm getting used to the Comic Con. However, it is spinning this morning, but that is due to the previous story on here.

So, to this point, the 2010 Chicago Comic Con has been great.  However, we just had an experience that would have made the whole trip worth it even if we had done nothing more than this one event.  

I'll admit, we didn't know for sure if the event was going to be worth the money.  I'm so glad we decided to go!

When we got there, Michael Hogan (aka Saul Tigh) was the only actor there.  We got our drinks and got our picture, but we also learned that our suspicions were correct: This is a guy you could have a beer with.  And we did!

"Take the picture! Gods damn it!" Hogan called as a kindly party-goer snapped the photo. (hence we're mid-laugh in the shot above.)

I can't express how wiped out we are.  So many things that we've seen that I can't put into words, so I guess the Flickr uploads will have to do.  Oh, and then there is the guy who was getting a Futurama Tattoo AT THE CON:

Inconsistency, thy name is X-Men.

Deadline Hollywood, the same people who told us earlier this summer Alice Eve would play Emma Frost in X-Men: First Class, is NOW reporting January Jones (American Wedding) will play Emma Frost.

In order to sort out the trickling details from X-Men: First Class, I think I would have to devote my attention to it full time. 

A few weeks ago it was reported Rosamund Pike would play Dr. Moira McTaggert in the new X-Men film.  Now, THR is reporting Rose Byrne (Troy) will play the good doctor. 

Oddly, I'm still seeing reports listing Pike as a cast member... so is she playing someone else in the film, or does Moira McTaggert have an evil twin I'm unaware of (very possible in the X-universe)?

Take this as rumor for now: Comic Book Movie got this shot of Kilowog supposedly from the new Green Lantern flick staring Ryan Reynolds. 

Whether real or not remains to be seen (literally).  Kilowog is a Green Lantern beloved by many fans and generally considered the most important (possibly after Sinestro) alien Lantern in the bunch.

Word has it, he will be completely CG.
