There is a second woman mentioned in the synopsis, namely Beth (Kwnaten's characters former girlfriend) ; i think she's a good candidate for screm queen and first death, preferably with lots of scream and ketchup
Will Summer's charater do some slaughter like in Serenity? You can also find me on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr or Youtube

It makes it sound as though the demon embodies Beth, so she may be the antagonist. Unless the demon changes form a lot.
Summer Glau ready for the slaughter in a supposedly new "Knights of Badassdom" picture .
The buzz created yesterday by the annouce of "Knights of Badassdom" and cast showing at SDCC probably exceeded the expectations of KoB staff; the mention of Summer Glau's and Peter Dinklage's names seemed to capture the public's imagination as shown in articles and on twitter.
In this context, they felt the urge to show more of Summer Glau (given that picts of Dinklage were released in the past), hence this picture showing up today; we at the Summer Glau Wiki appreciate the attention but at the same we couldn't help pointing out that this image was release months ago.
We are glad to participate to the buzz by showing (again) this picture but we're sure that they could do better by showing something really new.
For those like me who have a limited idea of what LARPing is, here is a LARP pict with real people :
The difference with Cospaly is that they're not only disguised, they also play a scenario; you see i'm getting better at this
Chances are that Knights of Badassdom will be realeased by the end of the year in a limited number of theaters (but who knows if the trailer is a big hit at Comic Con) and the DVD should follow quickly. You can also find me on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr or Youtube

SDCC could make this movie.
Especially with some of the big studio projects backing out.
If KoB scores big with the SDCC crowd it could see a major release. The die has been cast.
Last word was late 2011. I hope we get a theatrical release for having to wait so long.
Something surprising is that KoB is in Hall H, who is usually dedicated to TV shows and blockbusters; maybe it's due to the lack of big studios coming this year. At least this is a great opportunity for KoB to have more exposure. You can also find me on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr or Youtube
With the recent hype and the fact that Knights of Badassdom is presented in Hall H, i have no doubt that the film will find a distributor for an upcoming theater release. And in the case it has already one as it seems, it could be a larger theatrical release as said Devo. Let's hope that KoB will be wellcomed by the crowd.

Here is a complete list of Movies ("Snow White and the Huntsmen" still in production) and TV shows scheduled on Saturday, so that you can have an idea of the great opportunity this is for an indie-small budget movie like KoB :
11:45-12:45 Twixt: Francis Ford COppola and Dan Deacon
1:00-2:00 Relativity Media: Immortals— Visionary director Tarsem Singh transports viewers in this epic tale of treachery, vengeance, and destiny in this stylish and visually spectacular 3D action adventure. The brutal and bloodthirsty King Hyperion and his murderous Heraklion (Mickey Rourke) rampage across Greece in search of the long lost Bow of Epirus. With the invincible Bow, the king will be able to overthrow the Gods of Olympus and become the undisputed master of his world. As village after village is obliterated, a stonemason named Theseus vows to avenge his mother, who was killed in one of Hyperion’s brutal raids. When Theseus meets the Sybelline Oracle Phaedra, her disturbing visions of the young man’s future convince her that he is the key to stopping the destruction.

2:15-3:15 Knights of Badassdom— In this humorous fantasy adventure from IndieVest Pictures, Joe (Ryan Kwanten) is a heavy metal rocker who’s just gone through a painful breakup with his girlfriend, Beth (Margarita Levieva).

When Joe’s “sorcerer” roommate (Zahn) inadvertently summons a deadly succubus that takes Beth’s seductive form, bloody reality crashes down on their fantasy world. Once LARPers start to turn up dead, the make-believe wizards and warriors must become the real-life heroes they have been pretending to be in order to conquer the evil that has been unleashed.

Let's hope that KoB will be wellcomed by the crowd.
There is a way to measure the expectations; if KOB trailer will fulfill these expectations is another story.
Yesterday i have given you objective reasons to be optimistic about KOB's future but today i will give you an argument to curb your enthousiasm.
Indeed there is an (imperfect) way to see which panels are popular at SDCC. The Comicgoers have the possibility to register which panels they wish to attend and make themselves a schedule. SDCC compile these datas, so that they can rank which are the most popular panels.
For the record, the most popular events all categories combined and for the four days, as indicated by the registered schedules, are : #1 Game of Thrones Panel and Q&A session #2 AMC's The Walking Dead #3 The Big Bang Theory Screening and Q&A
KOB is not on the top 50 listed.
If we restrict the search to Saturday 23, KOB's panel right now is at #15 (out of 50), as shown below : Most Popular Events on Saturday, July 23
#1 Community #2 MythBusters #3 Chuck Screening and Q&A #4 Futurama #5 An Early Evening with Kevin Smith #6 Dark Horse: Joss Whedon #7 Fringe Screening and Q&A #8 Family Guy #9 Universal Pictures: Snow White and the Huntsmen #10 Alcatraz Pilot Screening and Q&A #11 Terra Nova #12 The Vampire Diaries Screening and Q&A #13 Grimm: World Premiere Pilot Screening and Q&A with Cast and Producers from the New Supernatural Series #14 The Guild Season 5: Convention Timez! #15 Knights of Badassdom
It's not bad for an indie movie that few people had heard about a few days ago but it's far from a hit; i doubt the recent buzz on KOB may impact significantly those numbers. More, there is no reason to think that Horror movie fans or Summer Glau fans are less numerous to fill the datas than other fandom.
I know everybody thinks that a release date in Spring 2012 for Knights of badassdom means a lot of wait (not to mention the FHM photoshoot that was postponed to coincide with the relase, as said FHM columnist); at least we can hope she will guest star in an upcoming episode of ALPHAS on Syfy.
