NEW Family Guy Star Wars Movie "It's a Trap" Announced

The creators of Family Guy have announced that the Star Wars Family Guy trilogy will be complete on December 21st, 2010, when fans can purchase the Family Guy "Return of the Jedi" spoof entitled, "It's a Trap!" on Blu-Ray ($29.99) and DVD ($22.98).

With the recent announcement that they will not continue on to spoof the prequel trilogy of films, fans will be eager to see what Seth McFarlane and company have in store for this final installment. Similar to Family Guy's "Empire Strikes Back" spoof titled "Something, Something, Something Darkside", "It's a Trap" will premiere as a disc exclusive, with speculation that a cleaned-up version will air on the network months later.

Attendees of the Family Guy panel at San Diego Comic-Con this past weekend saw an exclusive ten minute preview of footage. "It's a Trap" guest voices will include Carrie Fisher, Adam West, Patrick Stewart, Michael Dorn, and Rush Limbaugh as The Rancor.

Comic Con International Just OFFICIALLY "Nuked the Fridge"

Alexandre Aja, the Director of Piranha 3-D, was scheduled to show a preview of his movie at Comic Con International in San Diego.  The clip includes a scene of a wet t-shirt contest.  The people who run Comic Con subsequently crapped their pants, and told him he had to cut the scene or he couldn't show the clip to Comic Con's paid attendees. 

It makes gfest's stomach turn to think that the people that run Comic Con, which the King of Comics Jack Kirby and his friends started, is trying to stifle an artist's creative expression.  It's shameful really. 

Gfest has never had a problem with Hollywood's invasion of Comic Con, even though many Comic Con purists have.  The merger of comic books and Hollywood was the fulfillment of Jack Kirby's vision, not its demise.  But censorship?  Well, that's just really, really not cool Comic Con.

Luckily, Aja told Comic Con to shove it, and walked away from Comic Con.  Instead, he will debut his movie at the UA Horton Plaza nearby on the same day that Comic Con 2010 opens. 

Gfest can't help but think that King Kirby would be proud of you Alexandre.
