Check in with Warner Brothers

Mookie — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 20:42:52 +0000

Warner Brothers is setting Comic Con hotel guests up with custom room keys, featuring images from Chuck, Smallville, Fringe, Supernatural or the motion comic Superman: Red Son. But you don’t have to be staying in San Diego to get free episodes of these series from iTunes. Just visit the addresses listed on the cards:

Chuck: http://www.itunes.com/tv/chuck
Smallville: http://www.itunes.com/tv/superman
Fringe: http://www.itunes.com/tv/fringe
Supernatural: http://www.itunes.com/tv/supernatural
Superman (will be released July 24): http://www.itunes.com/tv/superman

Note that itunes must be installed to download these episodes. It looks like Smallville isn’t actually available for free yet, but I’d keep trying. Check out the LA Times article for a look at all of the keys.

The folks behind Zombieland have sent word of some undead events they have planned for Comic Con.

This fall’s top anticipated horror-comedy film, Zombieland, will hit theatres on October 9th, but attendees to the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con Conference will get an early taste of what’s to come. Once on the convention floor, watch out for groups of sexy scandalously clad zombies who come baring free gifts. Check out these Zombieland Comic-Con 2009 Memorabilia shirts, that you can only get from the Zombie Hotties at SDCC:

Additionally, Columbia Pictures has teamed up with Zombiewalk: San Diego to take over the streets of Downtown San Diego on the evening of Thursday, July 23rd. Comic-Con attendees will be invited to get “Zombified” for free with the help of a team of professional special effects makeup artists at the Sony Pictures Entertainment Booth (#4313) inside the San Diego Convention Center all day Thursday, July 23rd beginning at 10am.

SDCC’s Zombie population will take to the streets at 7:30pm. Participants in the Zombieland Zombiewalk will have the opportunity to score VIP Tickets to a Zombieland screening in their hometown, plus additional Zombieland merchandise.
