AceShowbiz - San Diego Comic Con International has finally put out its complete 2009 programing with the announcement of Saturday, July 25, and Sunday, July 26, schedules. With the outing of the last two days line-up, it is uncovered that "Iron Man 2" is indeed scheduled for the third day of the annual convention.
The Saturday schedule announcement confirmed that Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment will present the "Iron Man" sequel from 04:00 P.M. - 05:00 P.M. at Hall H. It is unclear though whether director Jon Favreau and any member of the star-studded cast ensemble, such as Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke, and Samuel L. Jackson, will make a special appearance during the time.
Beside "Iron Man 2", the Saturday schedule will also see a presentation of other movies. Miramax will hold a panel for first look at scenes from "Extract" with director Mike Judge and cast available for discussion, while Sony Pictures will present "Zombieland" and "2012" with both movies' directors, Ruben Fleischer and Roland Emmerich respectively. On Sunday, Overture Pictures will show off their "Paper Heart".
Held annually in San Diego, Comic Con will run from July 23 to 26 this year with a special preview night on July 22. Earlier, San Diego Comic Con International has announced the full schedule of its first two days, the Thursday's programming and the Friday's line-up, exposing the date and time of studio's presentation for "The Twilight Saga's New Moon", "District 9" and "Sherlock Holmes". The entire four days schedule can be read via Comic Con 2009 official site.
Saturday, July 25:
10:00 A.M. - 11:00 P.M.: Writers' Guild Panel: PG-13 Animation (Room 3)
- Is animation growing up, or is a PG-13 rating just an excuse for cartoon writers to use bad words and graphically kill off their characters? Alan Burnett ("Green Lantern: First Flight"), Matt Wayne ("Hellboy Animated: Sword of Storms"), Michael Jelenic ("Wonder Woman"), Charles Horn ("Robot Chicken"), Paul Dini ("Return of the Joker"), Greg Johnson ("The Ultimate Avengers", "The Invincible Iron Man", "Doctor Strange"), and Stan Berkowitz ("Justice League: New Frontier", "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies") will answer this as well as other, more serious questions about this new genre (if you don't count 1972's Fritz the Cat). Spoiler alert: Expect these writers to announce lots of exciting new projects.
- Mike Judge, the creator of such comedy classics as "Office Space", "Beavis and Butthead" and "King of the Hill" is back with his latest film "Extract" starring Jason Bateman ("Arrested Development"), Mila Kunis ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall"), and Kristen Wiig ("Saturday Night Live"). Join Judge and his cast for a discussion and first look at scenes from their new film.
- "Zombieland" - What if the Zombies won? Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson doesn't have fears.

Never before has a date in history been so significant to so many cultures, so many religions, scientists, and governments. 2012 is an epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors. Roland will be onstage to reassure us it's all make-believe...we hope.
