MICHELLE YEOH STORMS COMIC-CON'S HALL H
the Oscar winner walks into the convention's biggest room, and 6,500 fans lose it
SAN DIEGO, July 25 — Michelle Yeoh took the Hall H stage on Saturday, an appearance traders had priced at 85 per cent. The room, all 6,500 seats, was full hours before she arrived.
The Oscar winner needs no red carpet to command a crowd. Fans lined up overnight, badges clipped, phones ready. When she stepped out, the noise carried into the hallway.
Hall H is Comic-Con's proving ground, the room that anoints the next big thing. Observers had circled Yeoh's name for weeks. The wires now say the only question was which project she came to sell.
