Here are a couple of very short clips of Fringe stars Joshua Jackson, Jaskia Nicole, & Blair Brown at Comic-Con.

The Fringe panel by a Comic Con Virgin

I am posting this article on behalf of our in-the-field reporter Zort70. - D

I have been looking forward to this trip for many months, it had been a long time in planning and took even longer to arrive at this moment.

I travelled, mainly to meet with a bunch of LOST fans who I had go to know very well over the last few years, but also to experience the often read delights of Comic Con. It was something I've wanted to do for a very long time and the LOST fan meetup was an added bonus which made my mind up for me.

Unfortunately my first experience of Comic Con on Thursday wasn't a happy one. We decided to travel in a little later in the morning and walk round the main trading floor before getting in a queue for the Game of Thrones panel, this turned out to be a fatal mistake and after queuing for 3 and a half hours we missed getting in to the panel by 30 people ! The next day we were determined to get in and see what we wanted, we got there at 7am and still queued for 3 hours but got to see everything we wanted to, including a LOST panel where Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse turned up, but that's another story.

Fast forward to Saturday and the day of the Fringe panel, we travelled in again for 7am and again queued for 3 hours but got in. To give you an idea of how long people were waiting the line went all along the convention centre in managed queues and then went onto the street and curved all around three of the harbour walks next to the convention centre. They estimated around 8000 people were in the line when we started to be let in at 10am and the panel room held only 4500. This meant we had to sit through all the panels on the day to get to Fringe, but they were mostly enjoyable and it wasn't too much of a chore :-)

So the time for the Fringe panel arrived by that time we had moved down progressively nearer the front of the hall. The panel started with a few clips of previous seasons, nothing new in there as far as I can tell on first viewing.

Then the cast were introduced one by one to tumultuous applause, each coming on stage and looking delighted to be there. There was one notable exception, and I'm sure you can guess which person it was, yes Joshua Jackson was notably absent.

The moderator of the panel told us that they needed to recast the role of Peter and proceeded to show the Peter Bishop Audition reel. This clip was of various people auditioning to take on the role of Peter and included Zachary Quinto, Jorge Garcia, Paul Scheer, Damon Lindelof and even Rebecca Mader !

The short clip ended with a figure with an observer hat, suit and a pale complexion and slowly lifted their head, of course it was Joshua Jackson. He then entered onto the stage with the hat and suit (but not the makeup).

The panel proceeded as all the panels I have seen before, with all my 2+ days of experience at Comic Con, and questions were asked by the moderator and by people in the room. T-shirts with Save Peter on them were given out but no real clues as to what would happen in the new season were given and a specific point was made that the producers wanted the new season to be a surprise.

The actors obviously get along very well and even new regular Seth Gabel seemed to be well integrated into the show. Jasika Nicole sang a little and Lance Reddick did an impression of Olivia channelling William Bell

Then all too soon the panel was over, the cast got a standing ovation and stayed on the stage for a few minutes more for photographs but had to leave to make way for a screening of the new Fox TV show Alcatraz and it's pilot episode.

Apart from the main panel there had been official autograph signings and even an unscheduled appearance of some of the cast on some lawn outside the venue which surprised everyone that was walking past and knew who they were.

As a first time Comic Con attendee I can say that a couple of things so far have made it worthwhile, and the Fringe panel was definitely one of them.

Peter Bishop Audition Selects from Fringe Comic-Con Panel

Here a funny video from Comic-Con, featuring Zachary Quinto, Damon Lindelof, Michael Emerson, Jeff Probst, Jorge Garcia, an Observer, and many others trying out for the role of Peter Bishop. This was shown just before Joshua Jackson came out on stage.

Jeff Pinkner and Joel Wyman tweeted the link for this vid from the San Diego Comic Con via Twitter just moments ago. This video of Peter Bishop auditions was shown at the session this afternoon.

If you're on Twitter be sure to thank Jeff & Joel for sharing this so QUICKLY with us!

Comic-Con Panel: Fringe, Saturday, July 23, 4:30-5:15 p.m., Ballroom 20

The Hollywood Reporter: What stands out from your first Comic-Con experience?Jeff Pinkner: I’ve been there with the show for three years, and I went once prior to that as a fan. After I got off the shuttle bus, three women barely dressed in some version of Xena were standing behind a 300-pound man dressed as Elmo. That was Comic-Con in a nutshell.

THR: What’s the best thing a fan has said to you at Comic-Con?
J.H. Wyman: This will be my third Comic-Con, and a fan once said to me, “I can’t believe you’re really you.” It reinforced that they’re actually near somebody that’s associated with running a show that they’re into and love. I think that was a really sweet way for them to say, “I trekked all the way here to San Diego and I can’t believe we actually standing here having a conversation about Fringe.”

THR: Are you ready for the onslaught of questions, especially regarding Peter, at this year’s panel?
Pinkner: A lot of them will be laden with expletives. It will all become clear; not at Comic-Con, but once [the show] premieres. All the questions that involve the name Peter will probably be hard ones to field.

THR: There will be many questions of “Does Peter exist? Can you tell us?”
Pinkner: We’ll probably be faced with those questions. Our answer will probably be, “Who’s Peter?”

THR: Who would be on your dream panel?
Wyman: Twin Peaks. I’d really like to talk to David Lynch. It’s my favorite show and it was groundbreaking.

WTHR: Were you satisfied with the way Twin Peaks ended?
Wyman: I think the first season was the most impactful. Now running a show and knowing what you’re up against, I do realize that a lot of people plan for failure but they don’t really plan for success. It’s really hard to keep something going. If you go back in that timeline, nobody had ever done anything like that. They were probably feeling it out as well.

To me, Twin Peaks was seminal because it was what it was. I feel that about a lot of filmmakers. It’s their prerogative to take the show where it goes and if I’m really a fan, I’m going to really get off the artistry of the artist that I’m watching. It’s not mine to judge, it’s mine to be involved and see it. Being apart of that it gave me so much pleasure that I don’t think it’s fair to say I wasn’t happy.

THR: Do you have any tips on how to pull off a great presentation?
Wyman: It should always be something outrageous and entertaining as possible. People really give you a lot of leeway for the exceptional.

THR: If you were to dress up in costume for Comic-Con, who would you be?Pinkner: Anything where I could carry a sword or a broad ax.

THR: Seth Gabel is a series regular. How is that dynamic going to change this season?
Pinkner: We just fell in love with him, which is why we wanted to bring him back. Thus far, we’ve spent very little time with one version of him, the Lincoln Lee on their side, so I think that we’ll probably want to explore his character as well.

THR: What’s ahead for Fringe in Season 4?
Wyman: It’s going to involve a couple of newer themes. We’re just taking you down the road a little further on the journey. You’ll be able to see people from the past and you’ll be able to meet new people throughout the season.
Pinkner: Season 3 was about Walter coming to terms with truly coming to terms with the consequences of the damage that he had done when he broke two universes in order to save his son’s life and recognizing that in order to fix that damage, he may have to sacrifice that son, which was the choice he made in 2026. Peter recognizing that based on the trajectory that his universe was on, the love of his life Olivia was going to die in 2026 and he made the heroic choice to overt that outcome and now all of our characters, we find them in a place where we’re dealing with the consequences.

Comic-Con 2011: Fringe Coverage and Panel
The fate of the world will be determined in the fourth season of Fox's awesome midbender of an acid trip Fringe. What secrets will we learn at the San Diego Comic-Con 2011 panel? Check back often for all our Fringe Comic-Con coverage.

By Kevin Fitzpatrick June 24, 2011

When Fox renewed Fringe for a fourth season, we all breathed a collective sigh of relief...but that sense of security was all but obliterated after we watched the season three finale "The Day We Died." WTF are Walter and Olivia going to do save the world and rescue Peter...again?

But what does John Noble himself have to say to UGO on the presence of Joshua Jackson's Peter Bishop at San Diego Comic-Con 2011 or the series' fourth season? Check it out!

"John Noble: I wish I knew the answer, because I contacted—Josh is my mate—and I said “what’s going on mate? Tell me what’s happening here.” I haven’t heard back from him yet. I saw it in the press release, which came out in the Hollywood Reporter [Joshua Jackson not being listed at Comic-Con] and I thought “everyone’s here but Josh.” And I can’t get an answer, so whether someone’s playing tricks or...what I heard last for sure is Josh obviously is contracted to come back; he’s the lead actor in the show. I don’t know what’s going on, and no one will tell me!

I’ve been trying to pin down the show-running staff, I saw them the other night and I said “I’ve gotta talk to you”; I ran into them Wednesday and I said “I’ve got to talk to you,” and they said “yeah...”; yesterday they stood me up twice, and they’re not talking to me! Then I saw them again last night, and my wife said to them, “you’re upsetting John, he wants to talk to you.” And they laughed. Today apparently they’re going to talk to me. Bad Robot loves to play all of this sort of viral stuff that goes on, which they do so brilliantly. And they know that we’re blabbermouths, so they don’t tell us too much."

Hopefully we'll get some answers at the Fringe panel at San Diego Comic-Con this year. But who's going to be there to give them, when the panel teleports into Ballroom 20 on Saturday, July 23rd at 4:15 - 5:00pm? See for yourself!

•Anna Torv (Olivia Dunham)
•Lance Reddick (Philip Broyles)
•Blair Brown (Nina Sharpe)
•Jasika Nicole (Astrid Farnsworth)
•John Noble (Walter Bishop)
•Jeff Pinkner (Executive Producer)
•J.H. Wyman (Executive Producer)

What?! No Joshua Jackson (Peter Bishop)? Is Joshua off filming The Mighty Ducks reboot, or are Fringe fans in for one hell of a special reappearance given what happened to Peter at the end of "The Day We Died?!" Check back often for updates on Fringe at Comic-Con 2011!

Fringe Panel Details for Comic-Con 2010

Warner Bros. has released the Fringe panel info for Comic-Con 2010. The Fringe panel will be on Saturday, July 24 at 3:15 PM. Here are the details:

Fringe Screening and Q&A
3:15–4:00 p.m.
Fringe returns to Comic-Con as Lance Reddick and Blair Brown make their first appearance at the convention, joining fellow series stars Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble and Jasika Nicole, and executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman for a Q&A with fans and an exclusive video presentation. Join the discussion of this critically acclaimed thriller, which explores the ever-blurring line between science fiction and reality, where hybrid monsters tear through sewers, thieves walk through walls and portals open to worlds unknown.

I wonder what the "exclusive video presentation" will be? Is it too early for footage from season 3?

Unfortunately, if you don't already have a ticket for Comic-Con, you are out of luck since it has been sold out for a while.
