DVD News: Comic-Con 2009 - Paramount Home Entertainment info



Paramount Home Entertainment (PHE) will be taking Comic-Con attendees to the final frontier and beyond for out-of-this-world fun celebrating some of the year’s hottest films.


At the PHE booth fans can be photographed at the helm of the Enterprise, fraternize with galactic green girls and enter to win a limited edition Captain’s chair to build anticipation for the DVD and Blu-ray debut of Star Trek. Visitors can get a 3D photo with B.O.B., the gelatinous hero from DreamWorks Animation’s smash hit Monsters vs. Aliens, who will also make a live appearance on family day (Sunday). Plus, the booth will feature loads of giveaways for other upcoming home entertainment releases, including the box office behemoth Transformers, and demos of new games including Star Trek PSN and Warriors XBLA.

The co-creators and stars of Comedy Central’s irreverent hit “Drawn Together” will be on an animated panel Thursday, July 23 from 7:00-8:00 p.m. in Room 6BCF. Foxxy Love, Cree Summer (Transformers: Animated) and Wooldoor Sockbat/The Jew Producer, James Arnold Taylor (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) will discuss their new film, The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie!, and also host a round table discussion on the politics of religion in the workplace, where to get a decent sandwich and more.

On Friday, July 24, PHE will host a happy hour to toast the DVD debut of Road Trip: Beer Pong on August 11. Featuring beer pong girls, games and beverages, the event will take place at Henry’s Irish Pub in the nearby Gaslamp district at 614 5th Ave from 4pm to 7pm.

PHE is also sponsoring prize packages for the ever-popular Masquerade Ball with loads of DVDs being awarded to the Best Hero or Villain and the Best Youth costume. Don’t miss the Ball on Saturday, July 25th starting at 8:30 pm in Ballroom 20.
