Fans got a special treat at the San Diego Comic-Con as the "Deadliest Warrior" panel presented the ultimate battle between Vampires and Zombies. Might the show have found the perfect matchup in transitioning from television to the big screen...? We'll have to wait and see, as the premise of the upcoming "Deadliest Warrior" movie that Shawn Levy ("Night at the Museum," "Real Steel") may be directing for Paramount is currently being kept under wraps.

" Deadliest Warrior " star Dr. Armand Dorian recently saved the life of a 14-year old boy -- who was such a big fan of the show ... he was more interested in getting a photo with the doc than his injury. Dr. Dorian is still a practicing doctor, serving as the Chief of Development and Director of the Emergency Department at a hospital in Los Angeles. We're told the kid was rushed into his ER recently after...

Deadliest Warrior Comic-Con interviews! We speak to the panel of Spike's Deadliest Warrior: Vampires vs. Zombies, including Dr. Armand Dorian, Richard "Mack Machowicz and Robert Daly, as well as Steve Niles, writer of 30 Days of Night and Max Brooks, writer of the World War Z, The Zombie Survival Guide novels, both of which are being made into movies in the near future. World War Z stars Brad Pitt and Mireille Einos. Spike and Deadliest Warrior now ask the question of which of these mythical creatures would come out on top in a fight to the finish? It's definitely not a traditional Deadliest Warrior, with prior match-ups including Spartan vs. Ninja and other featured warriors including the Dracula inspiring Vlad the Impaler, Atilla the Hun and even modern day match-ups including the Ira, Somali Pirates and more.

Everyone knows full well that the most dangerous warrior of all is an overmaxed Bastet Warder, but despite our repeated, well-reasoned letters to Spike TV, the network appears intent on moving forward with another season of their show, Deadliest Warrior.
The new season sounds as exciting as ever, with match-ups that are the stuff dreams are made of...if you're anything like us and happen to dream about vampires fighting zombies. Here's what we learned out about the conflicts you've always wanted to see play out:
Vampires vs. Zombies, the new season's tenth episode, is a departure for the normally history and science-based series. In the past, they've run thousands of simulations to determine each conflict. New host, former Navy Seal Richard "Mack" Machowicz, spoke about pitting fictional characters and creatures against one another and how it's still in the same spirit of discussion and argument. Dr. Armand Dorian, the show's medical consultant,...

You can find the full schedule on comic-con.org [1], or after the jump I've listed the film and television highlights, which includes the Masters of the Web panel which I've been invited to be a panelist on (In full disclosure, I've been asked to be on this panel for a few years now, but I've only just recently gotten over my fear of speaking in front of large audiences). It should be a fun panel, and I hear they will be giving away some really cool prizes as well.

If past years are any indication, Comic-Con will begin releasing its official 2011 panel schedule later today (Wednesday) with the schedule for Preview Night, Wednesday, July 20. If that happens then we can expect them to follow suit for the rest of the days, so that Thursday will see the release of the Thursday of Con schedule, etc., through Sunday.
Once the official schedules are posted these “TV and Movie Panels and Screenings Updates” will be scaled back to just the date, time, title, and location, since the rest of the information and So Much More (including comics panels, autograph signings, etc.) will be available on the Comic-Con schedule link we’ll provide. Consider this, then, the last of the extremely long posts, and hopefully we’ll be getting that official schedule soon.

To signal the popularity of vampires and zombies, they will square off in a special episode of Spike TV’s Deadliest Warrior this summer. The hypothetical cage-match show usually takes classic combatants such as the ninja and the roman centurion, or modern figures like the Yakuza and the Mafia and talk to historians and experts to gather data and tests to determine who would win head-to-head battles such as fighting style, weapons used, training and skills. In the end a dramatization of the match is acted out based on the findings.
Zombies have made a big push in recent years from The Walking Dead comic book and television series, to the Left 4 Dead video game. Vampires meanwhile have become ubiquitous dominating every genre from film (Twilight), TV (True Blood, Vampire Diaries, Being Human) to comics (American Vampire)
This summer Deadliest Warrior will conduct one hour-long fantasy episode using film and fiction icons as the warriors.

Paramount Pictures announced today it has made a deal for Shawn Levy’s 21 Laps Entertainment to do a big-screen adaptation of sister company Spike TV’s original hit series Deadliest Warrior. The announcement comes on the heels of the show’s Season 2 finale, which brought about exceptional ratings for the network. Spike TV has renewed the series for a third season.
This partnership by Paramount and Spike TV marks the first time that the Viacom owned companies have worked together.
“Spike has some of the most innovative and forward-thinking content on television today, “Deadliest Warrior” being no exception. The property has proven its ability to engage audiences across multiple platforms,”

Ah, Spike TV, the male programming response to Lifetime. All killing, sex, and low-brow humor all the time. If you remember back to when Spike TV first got its start, it had little more in terms of content strategy beyond buying up the rights to the entire James Bond catalogue and broadcasting them 24/7. It may have made the holders of Ian Fleming’s estate ecstatic, but after about a month the channel was in dire need of something new. Gradually the channel began to produce its own content and eventually it got to the point where its unique content was marginally watchable, if you were bored or drunk on a Saturday. Deadliest Warrior represents the current pinnacle of the channel’s programming. It’s that great? No, but it’s perfectly aimed at the testosterone-infused audience thanks to the use of weapons and the wholly ridiculous nature of its concept.

Last year, the world was introduced to a brand new series called Deadliest Warrior on the Spike Network which helped answer questions people had been fighting over for decades such as “Who would win a fight between a Pirate and a Knight?” or a “Spartan vs. a Ninja?” Tomorrow night, the show returns for a season that is deemed to be “bigger and bloodier bloodier.”
The show was able to give the audience a definitive answer for the first time, using simulated algorithms from data collected by weapons, settings, and training. The research team is made up of three men. Max Geiger, the simulations programmer who analyzes and enters all of the data into the computer, Dr. Armand Dorian, the medical expert who determines exactly how much damage each weapon inflicts on it’s victim, and host Geoff Desmoulin, the biomedical scientist and high-speed camera operator who introduces the audience...

The Los Angeles Police Department has turned over the investigation into the untimely death of actress Brittany Murphy to the L.A. County Coroner, citing there is no evidence of criminal activity.
See photos of Brittany over the years
Authorities tell the Los Angeles Times that it is unclear whether Murphy, who was 32 when she died, had an underlying medical condition that could have caused cardiac arrest. They did confirm, however, that the actress was taking multiple prescription drugs.
