Morgan Spurlock, the Oscar-nominated director of the documentary Super Size Me, will direct a feature documentary about San Diego Comic-Con International titled Comic-Con Episode Four:  A Fan’s Hope. 

Spurlock, who also directed The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special—In 3-D! On Ice! and the recently completed Freakonomics, plans to follow seven different people from around the world “as they descend upon the veritable Mecca of fandom and experience the rapture that is Comic-Con.”  Shooting will begin shortly and culminate at this year’s show. 

The film will be exec produced by Stan Lee, Joss Whedon, and Harry Knowles, and produced by Spurlock’s partner Jeremy Chilnick and Thomas Tull (300, The Dark Knight, Watchmen).
