SUNDAY, JULY 29

11:45 – 12:30 TIN MAN: STORY TIME Room 1AB

This December, SCI FI will boldly re-imagine L. Frank Baum's children's classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in the six-hour miniseries Tin Man. A sometimes psychedelic, often twisted and always outrageous take on the book, SCI FI's Tin Man is the epic tale of DG (Zooey Deschanel), a young woman plucked from her humdrum life and thrust into The Outer Zone (the O.Z.) – a fantastical realm rife with wonder, but oppressed by dark magic. In the adventure of a lifetime, DG discovers her true identity, battles evil winged-monkey-bats, and attempts to fulfill her destiny.

Celebrate Kid's Day at Comic-Con by joining Kathleen Robertson, who plays the evil sorceress Azkadellia, in a reading that pays tribute to L. Frank Baum's original classic and catch a sneak peak of the upcoming miniseries coming to SCI FI this December.

2:30 – 3:30 FLASH GORDON Room 6CDEF

Placing a 21st century spin on a science fiction classic, SCI FI's contemporized version of Flash Gordon follows the all-new adventures of Flash (Eric Johnson) and his companions, Dale Arden and Dr. Hans Zarkov. Ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances, they find themselves as Earth's last line of defense against the forces of the merciless dictator Ming.

Panelists: Eric Johnson, Flash Gina Holden, Dale Peter Hume, Executive Producer Mark Stern, Executive Vice President, Original Programming, SCI FI
