Comic Con 2012 Here We Come
There are already reports of 50 or so Twilight fans camping out alongside Hall H. Both Laura and Jen from the Lexicon staff are currently on route to San Diego to cover this year’s Comic Con. They will be setting up their tent, and it will be our remote office of sorts for the next two days or so. Here’s what you can expect from us by way of coverage:
Wednesday: Live blog from the plaza next to Hall H. You never know who might drop by!
Thursday: The Breaking Dawn Panel happens at 11:15 Pacific Time and runs roughly an hour. We will be live blogging the event assuming the Internet holds out. Taylor Lautner is also rumored to be stopping by the Lionsgate booth to promote his film Abduction, and we’ll stay on top of that!
Friday: We’ll be attending the panel for The River, a film that Joe Anderson who plays Allister will be appearing in. We also have a couple of interviews lined up this day, but more on that as it develops.
Saturday: We will live blog The Immortals panel featuring Kellan Lutz from 1:00-2:00. Right after that we hope to live blog the Snow White and the Huntsman panel that Kristen Stewart is scheduled for 3:30-4:15.
Laura will also have here movies.com column up on Thursday as soon after the panel concludes as is possible. Now in between all this we’ll be grabbing info on the fly because you never know what might happen. We’ll also be feeding out YA author, Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Game of Thrones addictions while there.
Comic Con Schedules 2011: Breaking Dawn, Kellan Lutz, Taylor Lautner, and Kristen Stewart
Comic Con 2011 has now released their Thursday through Saturday schedules. Granted they are subject to change, and an actor might have to suddenly bow out if their filming schedule changes or have to do ADR work. But here is what we have so far. Kristen Stewart, Kellan Lutz, and Taylor Lautner will all be there to support other projects as well as Breaking Dawn.
Thursday
“11:15-12:15 The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1— Summit Entertainment presents a sneak peek at the highly anticipated next chapter of The Twilight Saga. This is a must see for fans interested in the story’s final chapters. You’ll see exclusive footage from The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1 and be treated to a filmmaker and cast Q&A session providing details on the first half of the epic two-part finale. Hall H ”
Abduction Panel and signing official info via the Lionsgate studio TBA. Below is what we have from The Hollywood Reporter (I’d give them a 90% accuracy rate going on past Twilight connected experience):
“The news you’ve all been waiting for: Taylor Lautner is going to Comic-Con.
Sure, we all suspected he was going to be part of the Twilight: Breaking Dawn panel but Lautner will also be on hand to promote his action thriller Abduction. He will be at the Lionsgate booth (#3729 for those of you trying to map out the San Diego Convention Center floor) for a signing Thursday, July 21.”
At this time we don’t know if the signing with Taylor will come before or after the Breaking Dawn Panel. If we had to go with our gut instinct, we’d probably bet on after because there will likely be a press conference that he is involved in running before.

Who Is Attending Comic Con 2011 From Twilight?
So far Summit hasn’t given out their official list yet. If we were betting people (and we are) we’d lay odds on Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and Bill Condon. The trio and the director have pretty much been a pattern since the first Comic Con appearance. After that it depends on who has a free schedule, who is in town, etc.
We already know that two Twilight actors are going to be there promoting other projects:
Taylor Lautner will be there to promote Abduction. According to THR:
“The news you’ve all been waiting for: Taylor Lautner is going to Comic-Con.
Sure, we all suspected he was going to be part of the Twilight: Breaking Dawn panel but Lautner will also be on hand to promote his action thriller Abduction. He will be at the Lionsgate booth (#3729 for those of you trying to map out the San Diego Convention Center floor) for a signing Thursday, July 21.”
Kellan Lutz will be there to promote The Immortals (info from Immortals press release):
DATE: Saturday, July 23
1:00pm – 2:00pm: Comic-Con Panel in Hall H
2:30pm – 3:30pm: Official autograph signing at the Convention Center
GUESTS: Henry Cavill, Luke Evans, Kellan Lutz, Stephen Dorff, Freida Pinto, Mickey Rourke, and producers Mark Canton and Gianni Nunnari”

Photo: Kristen Stewart Donates Shoes To End Human Trafficking
This press release from Shoe Revolt:
While we sleep peacefully at night, down corner alleys, behind old buildings, and along abandoned railroads, horrible and unimaginable crimes are being committed against our youth.
Shoe Revolt has committed resources to educate the masses, stop traffickers, and heal victims of these human trafficking crimes, and now we are thrilled to announce a new strategy; a teen revolt. For teenagers who live in a stable environment, the issues of sex trafficking are distant; most youth have difficulty simply grasping the concept.
Many teenagers are unaware of what sex trafficking really entails and don’t understand that it is occurring on domestic soil.
These teens are not aware of the tricks and strategies that traffickers use to exploit and imprison youth like them against their will. Because this issue is so secretive and unimaginable, teenagers simply ignore it.
Shoe Revolt feels that teens can no longer be complacent; human trafficking affects the very freedom that the United States of America promises to them all. It is time to educate and get teens involved to start a teen revolt against human trafficking.
Why shoes and celebrities? For teens, this combination is an outlet. It’s a passion. Combining something that the youth of America loves is a simple, yet powerful way to begin a dialogue about this imperative issue.
A celebrity such as Kristen Stewart donating shoes helps us connect with all teenagers despite language, ethnic, and cultural differences. Shoe Revolt is incredibly thankful for Kristin Stewart’s donation of a pair of black Keds.
Her donations will be used to raise money for shelters and to create awareness about this issue in the teen community. We can eradicate the attack on our youth in the United States by spreading the word and getting teens educated. Trafficking affects thousands of teenagers each and every day and will never be stopped without education. Shoe Revolt will give teenagers the opportunity to understand sex trafficking, which will help keep them safe. Shoe Revolt is determined to create a teen revolt by reaching out and spreading the word about sex trafficking, one celebrity donated shoe at a time.
The auction itself hasn’t yet gone live, but we will update when it does.
