The best of San Diego Comic-Con 2013

It sounds like the cast and crew of The X-Files are itching to make that third movie. Creator Chris Carter, stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, and seven of the show's writers reunited today for a panel at Comic-Con to celebrate the paranormal series' 20th anniversary in front of a massive audience of fans. The discussion ranged from the possibility of a new movie, to why Duchovny and Anderson never worked together again (Duchovny feels their X-Files relationship is too special), to Mulder and Scully's lost sex tape (a joke, we think).

There were no shortage of fans wearing T-shirts from 2008's The X-Files: I Want to Believe in the audience. It doesn't sound like a new movie is in the works just yet, but everyone on the panel was on board. Duchovny said he assumed they'd keep making movies. Anderson said she'd like to do a movie. Of course, they both said the same thing last year.

One of the big stories surrounding the impending release of Ender's Game are the political and social views of the author of the original novel, Orson Scott Card. Card has been a vocal opponent of gay marriage, a stance that has led not only to calls to boycott the Ender's Game movie but also caused Card to step back from writing a Superman comic this past March. The movie's distributor has tried to distance itself from Card's views, arguing that they were not reflected in the film itself. Now Harrison Ford, one of the stars of the movie, has echoed that sentiment by pointing out that "I think none of Mr. Card's views on gay marriage are part of the thematics of this film." Despite those views, which he said are "outside of those that we get within the film," Ford said Card "has written something that is, I think, of value to us all."

Joss Whedon's 2002 TV series Firefly suffered an untimely fate, cancelled by Fox before its first season even finished airing — and fans have never really let it go. The franchise has flickered back to life a few times over the years, most notable in the 2005 film Serenity, and now Firefly fans will get another taste of the universe thanks to a new mobile game for iOS and Android. Announced at Comic-Con International in San Diego, Firefly Online the first officially-licensed video game set in the Firefly universe and, like nearly every mobile game out there, will include some social components. It sounds like the game will essentially let players assume a ship captain, hiring other crews and leading unspecified "missions" in competition against all the other players across the Firefly Verse. There aren't a lot of details quite yet, which makes sense given that the game isn't planned to launch until the summer of 2014. Until then, fans can check out the trailer below and keep up with the game's development over at its official site.
