Warner Brothers have unveiled their line up for this year’s San Diego Comic Con. Films on show include Spike Jonze’s “Where The Wild Things Are,” Richard Kelly’s “The Box,” The Hughes Brothers’ “The Book Of Eli,” the “Nightmare On Elm Street” remake, “Jonah Hex” and Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes.” Hall H will also be equipped to a 3D screening facility – on hand for a presentation of the 3D “Final Destination” – which bodes well for the potential of footage from James Cameron’s “Avatar” being screened.

Terry Gilliam’s “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,” will also evidently appear in some shape or form at ComicCon 2009 on July 23. [Imaginarium]

Dreamworks has acquired the screen rights to “I Am Number Four,” the first in a series of six upcoming sci-fi novels which has Michael Bay on board to produce and possibly direct.

This sounds horrible even for the Disney children’s show it sounds like. [Variety]
