30 Days of Night(October 19th 2007)
Producer Sam Raimi, director David Slade, creator Steve Niles, illustrator Ben Templesmith, and actors Josh Hartnett and Ben Foster showed up to talk about the vampire film set during the month-long darkness of the Alaskan winter.
The action showed off a longer and bloodier trailer than the one in cinemas for the feature, along with a scene involving breaking into a store and attacking a young vampire girl with an axe. Slade confirms that the action is no holds barred - "We put more violence in than we had to. We thought we'd get an NC-17, but it was a serious concern at one point... it's part of the process of making a realistic horror film." Raimi also briefly confirmed that there's no Bruce Campbell cameo, and that he hasn't had time to look at any further "Evil Dead" film property development.

Resident Evil: Extinction(June 27th 2008)
Actors Edward Norton and Liv Tyler, Director Louis Letterier, and producers Gale Anne Hurd, Avi Arad and Kevin Feige all turned up to promote the reboot of the "Hulk" franchise which Norton himself penned the shooting draft of. Shooting began only a fortnight ago in Toronto, but some concept art was on display of what the Hulk will look like - a darker, more weathered appearance than Lee's CG creation.
Feige confirms that the previous Ang Lee film is being ignored - "This is a part one, the beginning of a whole new Hulk saga" and will utilise elements from both the TV series and comics. He also added that the aim was to add a bit of mythology and mystery back into the franchise, along with more action. To that effect this won't be an origin story says Norton - "I don't even like the phrase origin story and I don't think in great literature and great films, that explaining the roots of the story doesn't mean it comes in the beginning." It's also confirmed that the Hulk remains one size only through this, and some form of motion capture will be used on Norton for his Hulk scenes.
