oh jesus no

I second this XD

Will the comic-con footage be the same stuff on both days? 'Cos I just know that the day I go, I'll miss Spiderman or something and end up getting Twilight XD

MovieFest · 10-08-2011 1:29am

Will the comic-con footage be the same stuff on both days?

No, the footage, greetings and trailers will be completely different on both days. So far the line-up is looking something like this (it's subject to change but only slightly at this stage).

SATURDAY STUDIO FOOTAGE & TRAILERS
Disney (Including Dreamworks, Pixar & Marvel).
20th Century Fox
Optimum/Element
Universal Footage
Momentum
E1

SUNDAY FOOTAGE & TRAILERS
Sony Pictures
Paramount
Eclipse Pictures/Icon
Irish Film Board
Artificial Eye
Warner Bros

Also, just confirmed, everyone in the audience on Saturday will get a voucher for online film site Volta.ie, which gives them a free movie download.

The full screenings on each day are
SATURDAY : Fright Night, The Change Up, Mystery Movie #1
SUNDAY : 30 Minutes Or Less, Cowboys & Aliens, Mystery Movie #2

Hope this helps?

P.S
The Amazing Spider-Man is being released by Sony Pictures, so that footage is on Sunday.
The Avengers is being released by Disney/Marvel, the 3D trailer for that is on Saturday.

Cineworld’s bar will be open from early morning to serve coffee & refreshments…
Cineworld’s large Snack Bar is open all day
Cineworld will also have a food trolley upstairs outside Screen 17 if you want a quick snack

There are many other food outlets within a 5 minute radius of Cineworld on Parnell Street, Capel Street and in The Ilac Centre.

Hope the above info helps.

Ooh I'm getting excited!
None of the movies seem very long though! Probably a good thing though...

There's no link to the Woolshed menu btw!

The two longest movies were kept for the end of the day.

The Change-Up is 1 hour 50 Minutes and runs from 4.40 to 6.30 on Saturday

Cowboys and Aliens is 1 hour 58 Minutes and runs from 4.30 to 6.30 on Sunday - with a recorded audience greeting from director Jon Favreau scheduled to run beforehand.

Star Lord · 11-08-2011 9:25am

"2.35 pm Warner Bros presentation
Mystery Film"

So... It's a WB film, which rules out Conan...

It actually could be Final Destination 5, because it comes out on Friday in the US, but later this month here.
Could be Contagion?
Or if we're incredibly lucky, and it's ready, despite the December release date, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows? It would certainly match the description:
"MYSTERY SCREENING - TWO Another mystery screening - this movie has one of the most exciting trailers we've seen this year and looks set to be a roller-coaster ride from start to finish."

humanji · 11-08-2011 10:41am

Nah, I'd say it's almost definitely Final Destination, especially with the Rollercoaster reference. Which could be a good thing because it'll give me plenty of time to go get something to eat while I wait for something good to come on.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get there on Sunday for the first movie. Is it possible to go in after it and see the Sony Presentation, or do I have to wait until the 12:45 session to get back in?

Busi_Girl08 · 11-08-2011 10:45am

Not sure if I'll stick around for The Change-Up on Saturday. It looks like re-hashed The Hangover crap.

Looks more like an attempt at a modern Trading Places to me.

More Freaky Friday meets The Hangover.

gazzer · 11-08-2011 11:48am

Im really considering going to this on Saturday (cant do Sunday). Im baffled as to what the surprise movie could be though. I dont imagine it is going to be anything too high brow or arty (when you look at the other films on over the weekend) but the fact it is 'tipped for oscars' has me intrigued

allanb49 · 11-08-2011 12:46pm

ah i'll say the Change up will be solid enough,

Express menu link anyone?

The bbq wings in the woolshed are lovely, also the lamb shank, dammit allan going for food now :P

allanb49 · 11-08-2011 12:51pm

Food Link

Chicken Wings - 9.50
Wings and Chips - 7.50

???

iMax · 11-08-2011 1:00pm

This sounds a whole lot like Film Days which was for the industry about ten years ago, went on for two or three days & everything was free (including being brought out for dinner & drinks at night).

Would love to go to it, but

€8.50 for a cheesburger and chips? Do these guys think we are back in Celtic Tiger days?

Busi_Girl08 · 11-08-2011 1:52pm

Fook dat. Just go across the road to McDonalds/Burger King.

It's decent food, not a chipper burger. What would you pay in Eddie Rockets for the same?

Anyway, the Saturday movie I'm thinking could be Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy... thoughts?

Aren't they playing trailers/scenes from it on one of the days?

Star Lord · 11-08-2011 2:44pm

Maybe, not sure! I know it's out the next weekend!

Basq · 11-08-2011 2:46pm

I don't think 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' is out til mid-September.. so I'd say it's a no-go!

I thought taht as well but they're playing exclusive content from it so I highly they'd show the whole film as well afterwards!

Sad Professor · 11-08-2011 3:13pm

If I thought Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was going to be screened at this I would take off work to see it. However, the film is getting its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival at the end of the month. There's no chance of it being screening anywhere before then.

allanb49 · 11-08-2011 4:14pm

for €12 you can get a lamb shank with mash gravy and carrots in the woolshed,
They're huge portions too.

Why_So_Serious? · 11-08-2011 5:20pm

wwwwwwwooooooooo got my tickets today since i can only go the sunday means i'm gonna miss the Avengers on the saturday

but on the plus side i still get my Spider-Man t-shirt and plus sunday seems like the better day apart from final destination if its true.....I cant wait.....

Is there any Q&A sessions that any1 knows about??

event · 11-08-2011 9:56pm

WatchWolf · 11-08-2011 9:59pm
