When the panels were announced for this yearâs WonderCon, the 20th Century Fox presentation didnât specify which films would be brought to the convention. At the time we speculated that Ridley Scottâs Prometheus would be featured, and earlier today we learned that Scott himself will be premiering the full trailer for the film on March 17th at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, not far from WonderCon. Now the convention has updated its info (thanks to reader Steve for the heads up) to confirm that Scott and screenwriter Damon Lindelof will be onhand to screen some exclusive footage.In addition, the panel will include a presentation for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. The filmmakers will screen âspecial footageâ from the historic vampire-slaying pic. The info given doesnât specify what filmmakers will be present, but I wouldnât be surprised if director Timur Bekmambetov showed up. Hit the jump to read the full synopsis for â20th Century Fox: Prometheus and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunterâ¦in 3D.â Be sure to check back here on March 17th for the new Prometheus trailer, and weâll have a rundown from the WonderCon presentations as well.

Sir Ridley Scott, director of Alien and Blade Runner, returns to the genre he helped define and heâll be live on stage to tell you all about Prometheus, his epic and groundbreaking new mythology. Sir Ridley and co-screenwriter Damon Lindelof will screen some exclusive footage.
Youâll also meet this countryâs 16th president and first superhero â Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which explores the secret life of our greatest leader, and the untold story that shaped our nation.
