Big Damn Films, Inc., of Baltimore is announcing a new zombie feature film project that is centered around cosplay and conventions…sounds like a hoot. And the coolest part of this project, entitled, Z*Con, is all the net proceeds go to charity. Righteous.

Michael C. Dougherty, writer and director of Z*Con, announced that just like his last film, Browncoats: Redemption, one hundred percent of the net proceeds of Z*Con will go to charity. The charities are Kids Need to Read, the Red Cross, and one charity being picked by the community at the official Z*Con website. The charities receive mentions/promotion for the life of the film and an equal portion of the net proceeds.

The film is scheduled for a late 2013 release. For more info "like" Z*Con on Facebook and follow Z*Con on Twitter (@zconmovie).

Comic-Con International has released the full schedule for Sunday July 24th for San Diego Comic-Con 2011. This is the final day of the convention. Sunday is known as Kids day and is usually the slowest of all the days, there are a few surprises though. In all my years of going to Comic-Con I've never been to a panel in Hal H. Usually nothing is happening in Hall H on Sunday, this year there are a few TV programs going on in Hall H such a as Glee, Supernatural, Doctor Who, The Cleveland Show, Sons of Anarchy, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and this year Buffy the Musical will be in the great Hall as well. I've never been to the Buffy Musical event, and I think I finally want to go this year. A couple of other things worth noting are a one on one panel with Nathan Fillion, and Max Brooks talks about zombies.
