Stallone, Schwarzenegger take on Comic-Con

SAN DIEGO: Is San Diego the new Hollywood? Sylvester Stallone says so, and Arnold Schwarzenegger agrees.

The two action stars unveiled their latest film, ``Escape Plan,'' at Comic-Con Thursday night, saying they were drawn by the passionate fans who attend the pop-culture extravaganza.

Schwarzenegger characterized the Comic-Con crowd as ``the most dedicated fans and the most passionate about the movie business.''

Stallone said San Diego is ``a real movie town,'' referring to it as ``the new Hollywood.'' ``Escape Plan'' centers on two aging prison-escape artists who are locked away in what is called the world's most secure prison. The film opens in October.
