Comic-Con - The Movie?

It's coming this fall from the wonderful and fertile mind of Morgan Spurlock.

From an interview in Entertainment Weekly...

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope come about?
MORGAN SPURLOCK: It came out of a conversation I had with Stan Lee two years ago at Comic-Con. I met Stan at a party, and I went over to thank the guy. I said, “As a kid, reading your comic books gave me so much courage to want to write and be creative.” And Stan goes, “Morgan, I love your movies. We should make a movie together. We can make a documentary about Comic-Con!”

It’s such a Hollywood story. My agent was standing right behind me. I said, “Stan and I want to make a movie about Comic-Con,” and my agent goes, “You should meet my other client.” Cut to the next day, and I’m having breakfast with Joss Whedon. By the end of the weekend both Stan and Joss had agreed to produce the film. And Comic-Con said yes. For 25 years people had pitched to them the idea of making a film about Comic-Con, and they always said no.

Any idea why Comic-Con had never allowed a crew to shoot there until now?

They were afraid. It’s a very precious thing to them and to all of us geeks who love it. They didn’t want to have a film where they were made fun of — they didn’t want to make Trekkies. The fact that Stan was on board and Joss was behind the film, as well as [Legendary Pictures CEO] Thomas Tull and Harry Knowles from Ain’t It Cool News — there was suddenly a level of geek prominence in this little dream team. I think that’s what swayed Comic-Con [to say yes].
