Are you going to Comic-Con this summer? Have you always wanted to be in a film? Well, it appears that now is your chance. As it turns out, this summer for the 2010 Comic-Con, Morgan Spurlock will be filming a documentary all about comic conventions and the fans that drive this industry so steadfast. He’s not alone in it though. Joss Whedon, Stan Lee, Harry Knowles, and Thomas Tull have also joined forces with Spurlock to create one large and insane representation of our happy geeky culture.
Spurlock and co. are looking for “original, eccentric, funny, touching, and mildly obsessive people that will capture the excitement, enthusiasm, joy, and passion of comic book, anime, sci-fi, and fantasy lovers everywhere.” If you think that sounds like you, and you’ll be at Comic-Con this year, what do you have to lose? Just e-mail your life story to ComicConDoc@gmail.com.
