LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis SDCC 2018 Screening
A few months ago, we got our first look at the upcoming direct-to-home LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis and it looks like there will be a screening of the movie at San Diego Comic Con 2018. There will also be a panel of the voice actors and filmmakers for a post-screening session. The main thing that fans may want to attend the panel is that they will be giving away the exclusive Jessica Cruz Green Lantern LEGO minifigure. The panel will be held on Sunday July 22, 2018 1:45-3:30pm in Room 6BCF.
For those who are unable to attend the screening, you can pre-order the movie on Amazon which will also include the Jessica Cruz minifigure.
Aquaman must battle foes in the air, on land, and in the depths of the Seven Seas, along with some help from The Justice League, to save the day in his latest animated adventure, LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis. Enjoy the first-ever live showing of the film, then prepare for laughs when the postscreening panel takes the stage. Discussing the fun of making a LEGO movie will be actors Dee Bradley Baker (American Dad!) as Aquaman, Troy Baker (The Last of Us, Batman: Arkham Knight) as Batman, Grey Griffin (DC Super Hero Girls) as Wonder Woman and Lois Lane, Cristina Milizia (Bunsen Is a Beast) as Green Lantern/Jessica Cruz, Susan Eisenberg (Justice League / Justice League Unlimited) as Mera, Eric Bauza (The Adventures of Puss in Boots) as Jimmy Olsen, and Fred Tatasciore (Batman Ninja) as the villainous Lobo. Filmmakers on the panel include Matt Peters (LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Gotham City Breakout), screenwriters Jim Krieg (Batman: Gotham By Gaslight), and Jeremy Adams (LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash), and executive producer Brandon Vietti (Young Justice). As usual, expect some additional surprise panelists, plus everyone in the audience will receive an exclusive LEGO mini-figurine of Jessica Cruz/Green Lantern! Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC Entertainment, and the LEGO Group, the film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on July 31 on Blu-rayT Combo Pack, DVD, and digital.
LEGO Ninjago at San Diego Comic Con 2018
LEGO Ninjago has been a staple at San Diego Comic Con for the past few years and fans have been drooling over the details for the upcoming seasons. Not surprisingly, LEGO Ninjago will be back at SDCC 2018 as the Sunday Programming Schedule is now out and there will be a panel held early in the morning. On Sunday, July 22 from 10:30-11:30am in Room 6A, the people behind LEGO Ninjago will be on hand and it’ll be a little interesting this year. The description doesn’t say they will talk about the next season but it says they will talk about their favorite memories and other reflections of the show. I believe they’ll still give a sneak peek but it’s curious the description doesn’t say the panel will like with previous years. Like as before, I’ll try to do a live tweeting session if my schedule lines up.
If you think ninja and LEGO are cool, then this is the panel for you! Ninjago veterans Tommy Andreasen (co-creator/producer) and Michael Svane Knap (LEGO senior design manager) are joined by lead writer Bragi Schut, voice talents Brent Miller (voice of Zane), Kelly Metzger (voice of Nya), and Vincent Tong (voice of Kai) to talk about their favorite memories and other reflections on creating LEGO’s longest running and most successful show. Bring the kids! Ninjaaaaa-GO! Moderated by the LEGO Group’s Brian Bowler.
