WonderCon 2011: “Falling Skies” Panel Video and Footage Reaction Dan Koelsch, April 2, 2011April 2, 2011 One of the first panels on Friday at Comic-Con was the panel for TNT’s Falling Skies, which is set to debut on Sunday, June 19, at 9 p.m. with a two-hour pilot episode. The Steven Spielberg-created sci-fi show chronicles of a group of people trying to survive an alien invasion six months later. Below is the full video for the panel itself, as well as my reaction to footage shown, which includes a clip that has now debuted online. I was pretty impressed with the footage, which focused on two action sequences with the aliens and the clip below. It has a theatrical film feel with good acting. Also, the CGI on the aliens looks pretty solid, and they are probably still working on it to make it perfect before it airs in two months. Comic-Con Conventions Events Falling SkiesWondercon
