McFarlane has a busy slate at Comic-Con. In addition to a Prince of Persia panel, he has a new comic, Haunt, debuting there. Comic-Con, which began in 1970, has changed over the years for McFarlane. "It's a pop culture-con now. You can argue us comic guys who were there at the beginning of it are getting pushed to the corners," he says. "You went to buy and trade comic books and show your portfolio around". Source: content.usatoday.com
Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner at Comic Con (Press Conference), on 23rd July 2009.
"When asked about a possible romantic relationship between the two, the studio (who requested people refrain from asking personal questions) stepped in to cut the reporter off. Stewart laughed at the question and only offered an 'are you kidding me?'
She was more open when talking about the movie and her character Bella.
“This movie is not about discovery or falling in love,” Stewart said. “Bella is basically manic-depressive.” When asked about any changes she may have gone through, she pointed out the obvious: “I cut my hair off.” Pattinson also jumped in on the conference fun calling New Moon “one of the most relaxing jobs I’ve ever done” and offered that the film is “a completely different mood” than the first film.
Taylor Lautner also revealed a movie teaser: “There’s double the action in this movie.”
So what was Pattinson’s reaction to the romance rumors? The British hottie kept the talk to their characters.“Bella ends up saving Edward like she does in every book”, Pattinson said. “I find it funny that the hero is always being saved by the damsel in distress.”
