Nathan Fillion fans were a bit dismayed when news broke that ABC would not have a Castle panel at this years Comic-Con. However, there was a cryptic announcement from the convention organizers teasing that Fillion may still attend for something else.
Just recently news dropped that
Fillion is confirmed for an unrelated panel and that
Joss Whedon may also turn up for something else as well. Recently Executive Producer
Tim Minear revealed that something is indeed in the works, when he was questioned about his Con attendance---
"Dunno yet. There is a ten year Firefly thing and I might if only for that. All depends!"
Which was quickly followed up with a retraction as he probably realized he'd unintentionally let a surprise slip out--
"I see that my response here has elicited a bit of a firestorm on the net -- just to clarify, I'm not actually even sure what this thing is yet or who is gonna be there. More to follow."
Whatever is being planned, we know
Fillion will be attending
Comic-Con regardless and there's rumblings that
Whedon will also be in attendance (hopefully for some Marvel announcements). Might we see the full
Firefly cast "assemble" at this year's convention and while we're at it, could there be some sort of announcement as well? It's typical at these anniversary celebrations to announce a special feature or project of some such. Stay tuned to CBM, we'll have daily coverage once things kick-off July 11th.
UPDATE: Word was dropped moments ago from
THR that both Nathan and Joss will be attending a special 10 yr Firefly anniversary at this year's San Diego Comic-Con 2012 sponsored by Science Channel. Also attending will be Minear, Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin, Sean Maher, Michael Fairman and the rest of the crew of the Serenity on Friday, July 13 at 12:30 p.m. in Ballroom 20. Never before seen footage and a "buzzworthy surprise" will be revealed.
