The Battleship panel at WonderCon 2012 today featured director Peter Berg, actor Alexander Skarsgard, and actress Brooklyn Decker. Berg began by explaining how his childhood revolved around the Navy, giving him the passion for helming a naval film.

Berg also explained that even thought at first Battleship may seem like a ridiculous concept for a film, this movie encompasses the brutality that the board game can bring. Berg expressed that, “When I say hit, I try to kill you as brutally and quickly and mercilessly as possible… that is good DNA for a movie.”

Berg introduced the first clip for Battleship saying, “At its core it is suppose to be a big rousing piece of Summer popcorn madness.”

The Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter panel at WonderCon 2012 today began with a mock video featuring a mummified skeleton as producer Tim Burton doing a video remote from London, lying at death’s door in a hospital with a couple of buxom nurses and famed health and wellness specialist Dr. Andrew Weil. He wished he could be there, thanked the crew, and then promptly died.

Writer Seth Grahame-Smith came out and introduced director Timur Bekmambetov and Abraham Lincoln actor Benjamin Walker. At the panel, a sequence from the climax of the film was screened.

The Prometheus panel at WonderCon 2012 today began as writer Damon Lindelof (Lost) came out and told a story about sneaking to his TV as a young kid to see Ridley Scott’s Alien for the first time on HBO, much to the annoyance of his father, and how it changed his life. He then introduced Prometheus director Sir Ridley Scott. Scott said the origin for Prometheus came from wanting to get back to directing serious science fiction again, and thinking there were unexplored germs of ideas in both Alien and Blade Runner to expand on.

Damon then introduced stars Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender. Theron and Fassbender were both called by Ridley and each given two hours to read the highly guarded script and asked if they’d want to join the production. Theron had to tell friends it was a romcom in order to hide the details of the script from curious friends.
