During the Afro Samurai panel at Comic-Con, the cast and crew came out to premier the trailer for the new “season/movie” (they called it both…I am confused). Take a look

That beat is hot right?! All you need is that perfect song like Zack Snyder does for all his movie trailers…and you got the attention of everyone.

Afro Samurai: Resurrection will release in 2009 on Spike TV.

Ahhhh, what a  tiring day. Day 1 didn’t end until 2am last night….or rather today. I ended it by stumbling back to my hotel after catching Aliens in the hotel connected to the San-Diego convention center.

So highlights of Day 1? Hmmm well I to be honest I spent most of my day stopping for photos. On my way to check out Red Sonja I was stopped about every 50 feet or so to have my picture taken by confused con goers. Most of em gave me a blank stare and proceeded to mumble “that guy has a bear head”. Those who did know who I was thought my Kuma cosplay was pretty rockin.

So basically, I my costume kept me from seeing a good amount of what I wanted to do. It was fun, by also wore me down.

Here is what I did get to check out:

Red Sonja: Robert Rodriguez and his girl Rose McGowan (and some other guy) presented movie posters for their comic to movie adaption. The posters are nice, but I grew tired of Rose throwing up the Metal Horns every other minute. Check out the movie posters below.

Afro Samurai: Takashi Okazak, Samuel L Jackson, and The RZA made it out to present the first trailer for the new Afro Samurai anime movie. Samuel L was a riot. He kept hinting that he had early copies of the film and manga for anyone who wanted to meet him out back (jokingly). I think he was a little drunk.

The trailer for the movie was bad @$$. They showed it twice (The RZA was late, so he didn’t catch it the first time.). After talking about the trailer they announced the manga would be released in the U.S in Janurary (about time!) and showed of the official game developed by Bandai. The game looked good visually but I wasn’t to impressed with the action. It reminded me of Shinobi from PS2. I will still buy it because the preview cut scenes were pretty good and I got to support Ninja Ninja.

After that I headed down stairs to see the dealers room again. Once again I was reminded how I hate crowds of people. We busted outa of there and headed to get some food over at the hard rock cafe. The joker (best looking face paint I seen yet) was serving up food…thought that was pretty cool.

We headed back to the hotel after dropping an insane amount of money on red meat. We chilled at the hotel for an hour or so as all of my roomies went to sleep only leaving my friend Al and myself to go watch Aliens at 12am. We got about a quater of the way through before I decided it was a good idea to head back.

Alright here are the photos I took, I am only post the best ones.

I ran into The RZA…it made my day.

The internet sucks at this hotel and I gotta head out. I will post more pictures tonight. Hope fully the RZA was enought to hold you off.
