  • A Conversation with Paul Reubens

    by Mike Sampson and Pee-wee Herman

    Paul Reubens is best known for his character, Pee-wee Herman, which he created while a member of the famed Los Angeles improv group, The Groundlings. From its premiere in 1981, the stage production of The Pee-wee Herman Show quickly gained a national audience when it was broadcast by HBO. In 1985, Reubens co-wrote the hit film, Pee-wee's Big Adventure. He went on to create, co-write and co-direct Pee-wee’s Playhouse on CBS. The series earned 22 Emmy Awards over its five seasons. Recently, The Pee-wee Herman Show completed an acclaimed run on Broadway and was filmed, once again, for HBO. Join us as Paul discusses his remarkable body of work and the upcoming HBO special broadcast of 'The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway'. We can't wait, and hope you can't either!

    At 12:30pm to 1:30pm, Sunday 13th March

  • The Art of Immersion: Tron

    by Adam Horowitz, Edward Kitsis, Susan Bonds and Frank Rose

    In July 2009, after a 27-year-hiatus, the story of Tron began anew when Flynn's Arcade reopened at Comic-Con. The Flynn Lives alternate reality game, created by 42 Entertainment, was the beginning of an elaborate lead-in to 2010's Tron: Legacy, a live-action 3-D movie with unprecedented digital effects. As the original Tron, released in 1982, became a cult classic, Disney struggled for years to devise a followup. When they finally came up with the right story, they decided to tell it not just on the movie screen but through a variety of media experiences, including video games and the ARG. The goal was to recreate Tron as an immersive world for fans to explore as deeply as they like. Long championed by 42 Entertainment and by producer Sean Bailey at LivePlanet (his partnership with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck), this ambitious new form of storytelling has now been embraced by Disney and by a new generation of Tron fans. But how does it really work? At this panel the key players involved will explain their ambitions, their motivations, the lessons they've learned, and the difficulties they've confronted as they pioneer a new form of narrative for the 21st century.
