Chicago Comic Con 2011: Chatting with celebrities at the VIP Red Carpet Event

Wizard World’s Chicago Comic Con (which happened August 11-14 2011) treated its VIPs and press to a special Red Carpet event at the DoubleTree hotel on August 12, 2011.

Several celebs that attended the con strolled down the rosy rug up to take photos and be mobbed, er, interviewed by the press. I was lucky enough to snag a few short words with the celebs and get their insights on their current and past roles.

Chicago Comic Con 2011: Patrick Stewart panel (with videos)

Wizard World Comic Con 2011 was lucky enough to get Capt. Picard himself, Patrick Stewart plus his son Daniel Stewart who was in a couple episode of Next Generation. The con took place on August 11-14 2011, the panel I saw was on Saturday 13 and was hosted by Chris Hartwick from G4.

I took a couple videos of Stewart from his panel because I believe he can say it better than I can.

Wizard World 2010: Videos of Willian Shatner’s “Creation Experience” panel

Captain James T. Kirk himself (William Shatner for you non trekkies) was at Wizard World Comic Con in Chicago, last Saturday August 21st, (the con ran from Aug. 19th- 22nd)

Shatner is a man who loves to talk, and talk he did at his Creation Experience panel. I took a video of him talking about a couple of his shows and asking the audience for help on a couple titles (lets face it, Shat an’t a young man anymore).

Wizard World 2010: William Shatner’s “Creation Experience” panel

William “The Shat” Shatner, known to many as Captain Kirk from the original Star Trek TV series, host of Priceline.com and Denny Crane from Boston Legal, graced us with his presence at Wizard World Comic Con help in Chicago, IL (US), August 19 through 22, 2010.

Shatner immediately started causing trouble when he tried to move the tables out of the way so he could be closer to us. “There is this green table between you and me and I don’t want it that way,” he said after shoving the tables, almost knocking over all the water pitchers. But, as we know, if The Shat wants it done, it gets done.

After that he spoke quite a lot about his new show…

Wizard World 2010: Videos of Brent Spiner’s “Creation Experience” panel

Brent Spiner, Data from Star Trek: Next Generation, was recently at the 2010 Wizard World Comic Con in Chicago, IL (US), August 19 through 22, 2010.

Spiner has a lot to say at his Creation Experience panel but he is a man who should be seen as well as heard, so I took a couple videos and captured his wonderful personality.

Wizard World 2010: Brent Spiner entertains his fans at his Creation Experience panel

I went to Wizard World Comic Con in Chicago this past weekend (August 19 through 22, 2010) and was able to see Brent Spiner, most famous for playing Data on Star Trek: Next Generation, at his Creation Experience panel on Saturday.

He talked about ST:NG

The convention’s being held in Rosemont, Illinois August 19-22, and Bolt Creative will be there selling the plushes for the first time….

SFX360 and Nintendo’s game events at Wizard World Chicago Comic Con

The Wizard World Chicago Comic Con is being held August 19-22, 2010 in Rosemont, Illinois, and even though it’s a comic convention there’ll be a lot for gamers to see. Nintendo and SFX360 are both going to have booths at the con, and SFX360 will be holding tournaments throughout the convention.

Let’s take a look at what’s going on all four days…

Own life-size Gears of War replicas

The latest news from TriForce Sales is a little bit creepy, and kind of delves into “obsessive super fan” territory. Epic Games has given TriForce permission to recreate life-size models of both armor and weapons from the Gears of War Xbox 360 and PC series. Yes, starting on July 8, 2008, loyal fans can preorder items at the official TriForce Gears of War website. No prices have been announced yet.

Prototypes of the armor and weapons were displayed at Wizard World Philadelphia, which was this past weekend (May 31, 2008). The items up for sale were displayed and a panel discussion with Garrand and Lester Speight (Gears of War‘s Augustus Cole) was held. The items will likely resemble the pictures of Garrand and the Nightmare Armor Studios team that appeared in a 2007 issue of Official Xbox 360 Magazine and on Kotaku on June 25, 2007.
