Filed under: VideosCrowd favorite Robert Downey Jr. made one of his two appearances at Comic-Con 2009 at the panel for director Guy Ritchie's update of "Sherlock Holmes," in which Downey stars as an action-friendly version of Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective, with Jude Law playing Dr. Watson.

Filed under: Videos"I've been stalking Rob Pattinson for the last ten years, so when I got a chance to get within touching distance of him, I jumped at the opportunity," drawled Chris Weitz, the director of "About a Boy" and, now, the man in charge of the latest film installment of the "Twilight" series, "New Moon," when asked about why he took on the project. He's apparently not alone in that sentiment. At what's surely going to go down as the shriekiest panel at Comic-Con 2009, Weitz, stars Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene face the Twihard masses -- watch... MORE »
