After having the first hour taken up with everything DC Films, the other Warner Bros blockbuster films had their chance to shine.
Starting with The LEGO Batman Movie and they showed audience
a Lego version of the panel with Lego Batman, Joker, Barbara Gordon, Robin and
even a Lego Conan. The real Conan brought director Chris McKay and Lego Batman
himself Will Arnett onto the stage.
They released a new trailer, and even though it’s a slow
start the moment Robin comes on screen the jokes start flying and they’re brilliant.
All I want know now is what’s the story? Because they’ve only showed us jokes
and clips inside the Batcave and Wayne Manor.
King Kong took over next with Discover how Kong became King
on the screen. The character names of Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hiddleston, Brie
Larson, John Goodman, Tian Jing and John C. Reilly were revealed to the
audience before the Kong: Skull Island logo.
Larson, Hiddleston, Goodman, Corey Hawkins and Jason
Mitchell come on stage with their director Jordan Vogt-Roberts, who started to
talk about bringing a new story within the King Kong mythology.
“The seventies
is such an interesting time and it’s the last time in the world where myth
could exist in the world and you could have these unknown things,” he said.
“I play a character called Captain James Conrad and formerly
British SAS soldier with a set of skills in survival,” says Hiddleston.
Then after a few more Q and A’s with cast they unveiled the
trailer and my god I wasn’t expecting this. First of all, the film being set in
the 70s was a surprise and then this footage felt like a war film, many are describing
it similar to Apocalypse Now, with a huge ape and its shoot beautifully.
Then King Arthur showed up, after premiering the trailer Charlie Hunnam talked about this new different version of the story saying “If you’re going to retell a story, you need to make it fresh and original and unique,
“We’ve seen the version of King Arthur before where he’s the
noble man who goes on the noble quest to become the noble King.” The genesis of
this character in this incarnation, he’s a survivor.
“To put that into modern context, we decided to make him like
a street kid,” Hunnam added. “We meet him and he’s this sort of street guy who
is actually doing pretty well for himself.”
I have to say this was one of my favourite trailers
yesterday, because I truly needed know what to expect and I liked the fact it’s
still a Guy Riche film, but now adding in huge set pieces. I just hoping this
style can sustain a film this epic and for a long running time.
Finally, we return to the wizarding world of JK Rowling with
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Where they handed out wards to
everyone in Hall H and director David Yates went on to talk about continuing
expand the world.
“This is an extension
of Joe’s universe in a very exciting way," said Yates.“We’ve got a whole new set of characters, a whole new set of
rules,”,in an addition to a new setting,“We’ve got a whole array of Beasts
that Eddie looks after in his magical case," he added.
A new trailer was released and it’s returning to a place we’ve
never left and entering something new all at the same time and I’m excited to
see these creatures and maybe some references to Harry Potter and Hogwarts.
