Ballroom 20, 10:00-11:00 Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe
For fans of USA's hit series Burn Notice who've always wanted to know what happened before Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell) teamed up with Michael Weston and Fiona, Comic-Con attendees are invited inside the USA made-for-TV movie Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe, debuting on DVD exclusively at Comic-Con! The Burn Notice prequel chronicles what turned out to be the last military mission of former U.S. Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander Axe and the expedition that took him from the jungles of Colombia to sunny Miami Beach. Go one-on-one with Bruce Campbell, star of Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe, and Burn Notice creator, writer, and executive producer, Matt Nix.
FACTS LEARNED FROM PANEL
-- Shot in Columbia because Fox TV Productions had a relationship with a Columbian studio (from previous projects)
-- This is the largest production that a Columbia crew has done there in their history
-- They were unable to import gunpowder so they had to use propane
-- Bruce had a police escort everywhere, even when he went into a tanning salon :P
-- Bruce was in a t-shirt for the entire shoot, even though it was freezing, so Matt said that they used to say "el gringo es macho" about him in Columbia
-- Matt watched a lot of EVIL DEAD movies in his youth
-- Matt now hears Bruce's voice in his head
-- Jeffrey won't be able to attend SDCC until Matt writes him out of an episode of Burn Notice
-- In Guadalajara, Bruce was pulled over for a ticket and offered the police officer his fine and asked the police officer to pass it to the judge for him--aka "extortion." It happened twice. But his Spanish is still not very good.
-- They want to explore Fiona's backstory at some point. It will happen a bit within the TV show, but they would love to do it through a movie (like Sam). However, this is up to Fox TV Studios.
Matt Nix: Sam is the "best older brother there ever was"
-- Sam is very sincere, straight-forward, and cares for everyone
-- VS. Michael Weston, who is more conflicted and struggles with his dark side
Bogota is at a very high altitude, which led to a tragic story, which they filmed a documentary for: THE FALL OF JEFFREY DONOVAN
-- They showed us clips from the documentary (or should I say "mockumentary"), which is included in the DVD
Bruce reenacted the time when Jeffrey Donovan brought up his interest in directing the movie (including a hilarious reenactment of Jeffrey's "death stare") in addition to an example of Jeffrey directing.
Bruce passed out (well, tossed into the crowd) t-shirts (as well as the Burn Notice tote bag that it came in) along with DVDs.
Q&A TIME
Q: Did Bruce Campbell talk to Navy Seals to prep for his role?
A: "I did two things to prepare for the role of Sam Axe: jack and shit." --Bruce Campbell
(Matt clarified that he and the writers did consult with Navy Seals for the show)
Q: How did Matt come up with the premise for Burn Notice?
A: Matt has always been interested in espionage. Not so much seeing spies running around the world, but "spies as people."
