Comic-Con 2012: Schedule of Headliners
2 July 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
The Comic-Con 2012 schedule has now been released in full, and barring any major updates, is set. The blessing and curse of being an attendee is deciding which panels/autograph sessions/special events to attend, when they conflict. And they always do.
For you to see for yourself, below are what we are calling the “headliner” panels; those panels that are taking place in Hall H, Ballroom 20, Room 6Bdf, and the just-next-door Hilton Indigo Ballroom, the four major venues for panels. There are descriptions of each panel as well as the show(s) and/or movie(s) they are there to discuss.
See how many conflicts you might have, or how you might arrange time and space to somehow attend these plus spend every day in the vendors’ Exhibit Hall and chasing zombies in the nearby The Walking Dead Escape. By the way, if you figure that out, Please let us know. »

Luke Hemsworth finally bringing his hotness to Hollywood
21 June 2012 11:17 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
The mysterious third Hemsworth brother, Luke Hemsworth, has finally decided to grace America with his hotness presence. While the erstwhile Thor, Chris Hemsworth, and "Hunger Games" star Liam Hemsworth (fiance to Miley Cyrus) have lived and worked in Hollywood for years now, their sibling stayed behind in their native Australia with his family.
Now, Deadline reports that the eldest member of the Hemsworth clan plans to move to Hollywood at an undetermined point in the future. He's ready to relocate, but the timeline isn't set because he also has to move over his wife and three young kids.
Hemsworth has starred in Australian projects like "Bike Wars: Brothers in Arms," about feuding motorcycle clubs in 1980s Sydney, and famed soap opera "Neighbours." Interestingly, he's the first Hemsworth to get into acting, having co-starred in the children's series "The Saddle Club" a decade ago. »

Luke, 32, signed with Roar Management, which also reps his siblings, about a year ago. His Australian agent, Mark Morrissey, tells Deadline the actor has decided to pursue a career in the U.S. but hasn’t yet set a time to relocate because it also involves his wife and their three young children. Morrissey said Roar has been sending Luke scripts but he hasn’t committed to anything. Luke starred in Bikie Wars: Brothers in Arms, a miniseries that chronicled a war between Sydney two motorcycle clubs in 1984 which resulted in the deaths of seven people; it aired this month on Network Ten. Luke began his acting career in the children’s series The Saddle Club almost 10 years ago, before either of his brothers entered the business. »
