It seems Mark Millar’s lust for internet controversy knows no bounds as today it was announced that his Kapow! Comic-Con (hitting London this Spring) will be screening, in its entirety, an unnamed super hero movie prior to its release on the big screen! There are more than a few super hero/comic book based movies coming out next year (Thor, Green Lantern, Cowboys and Aliens and Green Hornet, just to name a few), so the identity of this mystery screening is anyone’s guess. One thing is for sure: come April 11th, the internets might just be on fire!
Check after the cut for the official press release.
KAPOW! COMIC CON
SUNDAY 10TH APRIL 2011
KAPOW! COMIC CON is pleased to announce a top secret screening of MOVIE X.
MOVIE X is a regular event that will round out KAPOW every year with a secret, surprise screening of a different comic-book blockbuster. This exclusive screening will be the finale to the show on Sunday 10th April 2011 in a 500 seater auditorium in the London Business Design Centre with state of the art facilities. Nobody will know what MOVIE X is until the lights go down, but fans of comic book cinema can rest assured they are in for a special treat. Our only clue this year is that the movie features a solo superhero. Have fun guessing who he is!
In addition to ‘MOVIE X’, the panels, signings, exclusive announcements and portfolio reviews, Kapow! visitors will also be able to enjoy the Comic Fans vs. Pros Game Show hosted by Jonathan Ross and The Stan Lee Awards. Kapow! is one entertainment event that simply cannot be missed.
Kapow! is dedicated to comic books and the movies, TV shows and games they inspire. With an unrivalled comic book guest list which includes Jonathan Ross, Frankie Boyle, Noel Clarke and Stewart Lee who all write for UK news stand magazine CLiNT, plus A-list UK and US comic creators such as John Romita Jr., Dave Gibbons, Mark Millar, Leinil Yu, Paul Cornell and Andy Diggle.
IMPORTANT: The full movie and TV line up will be announced on Kapow! on February 14th.
Tickets for Kapow! are available in advance only, and can be purchased at www.kapowcomiccon.com. Tickets will not be available on the door.
