Comic-Con’s Hall H movie panels got off to a rockin’ start with the first Con appearance of Bill Murray.
Murray was there with frequent collaborator Mitch Glazer to pitch to the geek crowd their newest movie, Rock the Kasbah, in which he plays a rock and roll manager down on his luck in Afghanistan. Murray surprised the 6000-strong crowd, a good majority of whom had slept in line overnight just to get in, by coming in the back of the hall, setting the groggy crowd into a frenzy of screams and photo flashes. And when he was on the stage for the first few minutes, he stayed in character of Kasbah’s dubious manager, Richie Lanz, providing a slew of laughs along the way.
