Ho Launchies! Here are some photos from the Ender’s Game panel at Comic Con that took place on Thursday, July 18, 2013. By now you’ve probably all seen the panel in videos, but there are some great ones that I took from the second row. Enjoy!

In a recent interview with Moviefone (Asa and Hailee did one, too), Harrison Ford talks about Colonel Graff, how he compares to other character’s he’s played over the years, and the Hollywood studio system. The interview is pretty standard fare, but Harrison Ford is HILARIOUS!
My favorite part has to be this:
I wanted to switch gears a bit …
[Smiles] I thought you might.[Laughs] It’s not exactly what you expect — at least I am hoping it’s not. It may start out like that but …
[Laughs] It won’t end up like that!OK, but give me a chance!
Take your best shot.Your earlier movies still make news today — “Star Wars,” “Indiana Jones,” etc. My question to you is…
[Harrison begins drumming on the coffee table in front of him][Laughs]… is there one movie of yours that you wish got more attention than those movies?
That I wish got more attention? No. Well, there were movies that I think were good movies that did not receive as much attention at the time. I don’t think I remember any… oh, the one that comes to mind is “Mosquito Coast,” which I think was a really good movie and perhaps didn’t receive as much attention as it might have.

More videos from Comic-Con are being uploaded every day on youtube and various entertainment sites. Among them are a bunch of flash interviews with Asa Butterfield and Hailee Steinfeld, which apparently were all held in the same room in the same time slot. Watch interviews by Hitflix and MoviesDotComOfficial HERE and HERE!
Personaly, I love this one with CraveOnline because it asks some nerdy questions about the coolest sets and moments during the filming of Ender’s Game and how hard it was not to geek out around SciFi movie icon Harrison Ford. Watch Asa and Hailee having loads of fun answering those questions below.

Finally a decently meaty interview with Harrison Ford about the Ender’s Game movie! Ford talks to Quint from Aint It Cool News about filming, Gavin Hood as a director, working with kids in general and Asa Butterfield in particular, and his acting choices (with only a little bit of Han Solo and Indiana Jones thrown in at the end). Some favorite parts are:
Harrison Ford: I’m also trying to provide the director with options in the cutting room. […] If a certain scene had to be left out for time purposes or something, he would have options, which would allow elements of character to be expressed in that scene.
Quint: [Asa Butterfield] came across as someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. He didn’t seem like he was putting up any barriers, if you know what I mean.
Harrison Ford: He’s there. That’s a wonderful thing to find when you’re acting with somebody… that they actually fucking show up.

In this clip from San Diego Comic Con, exclusively revealed by Yahoo Movies, Graff greets new students to battle school, introducing more of the before seen footage of the First/Second Invasion. Looks like they will indeed make the name and story of Mazer Rackham as important and ever present in the minds of the kids as it is in the books!

Check out this awesome cover of Entertainment Weekly featuring none other than Harrison Ford and Asa Butterfield in Ender’s Game!
We get a great look at Ender in his Dragon Army flash suit, carrying in his arm his Dragon Army helmet. It’s a “bonus” cover, so you may have to check around to find this one for yourself!

Another week of me stalking the Ender’s Game cast on the nets has come to a close. Let’s see what the kids have been up to.
Asa Butterfield has been all kinds of busy. Let’s start with the picture that finally made him Instagram-famous (and I wonder why):
Looks like that was the last day in Greece, before he had to return to London for his Prom!
Also, in preparation of his appearance at the Ender’s Game panel on Thursday, July 18, Asa went shopping at Carnaby Street, London. Will he wow you all with his fashion sense?
Personally, I’m slightly flashed by the pattern mix. But I’m sure that’s just me.
Speaking of Comic Con, Aramis Knight has confirmed that he will be signing autographs! He even gave a tentative date! Watch out for him on Saturday at the Summit booth! After Jimmy Pinchak, Aramis is the second non-panelist announcing that he is going to SDCC, but Khylin Rhambo, Brandon Soo Hoo, Conor Carroll and Caleb Thaggard are rumored to be there as well. While the kids are getting excited for the big event, Harrison Ford seems to have the time and leisure for a trip to Peru.
Hailee Steinfeld has been caught up in other projects. Nevertheless she had the time to tweet about her new magazine cover as well as an interview she did about her upcoming film Romeo and Juliet. Watch it below!
Moises Arias has a new film … or rather, a video. He appears in his friend Willow Smith’s new music video “Summer Fling”.
Finally, Suraj Partha seems to have a little less time for fun stuff this summer, as he is studying for his SAT! I’m sure he will ace it, though, just like he just aced his AP EURO class (according to his facebook). He did, however, have the time to post a video of himself singing and playing the piano in Paris. So romantic!
Comic Con International has begun rolling out their schedule and today they released the schedule for Thursday. Ender’s Game is slotted for 3:50 PM in Hall H along with Summit’s YA title Divergent.
With the two films sharing a one hour slot, that doesn’t seem to leave a whole lot of time for Ender’s Game, a half an hour at most. Hopefully they pack in as much as they can!
Stars Harrison Ford, Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, and Abigail Breslin will be there along with producer Bob Orci and director Gavin Hood.
The poster for Harrison Ford’s new movie Paranoia has been released. The film, which also stars Gary Oldman and Liam Hemsworth, will be released on August 16, 2013.
In this high-stakes thriller, Adam Cassidy (Liam Hemsworth) is an ambitious junior technologist trying to climb the ranks of telecom giant Wyatt Corporation. But after one costly mistake, Adam is blackmailed by ruthless CEO Nicholas Wyatt (Gary Oldman) to turn corporate spy by going to work for the firm’s top competitor, which is run by Wyatt’s old mentor, Jock Goddard (Harrison Ford). Adam soon finds himself delivered into prepackaged success, living his fantasy life of old-world boardrooms, private clubs, exotic cars, and all the spoils of Manhattan bachelorhood. However, behind the scenes, he is merely a pawn in Wyatt’s power play, and must search for a way out from under his boss, who will stop at nothing, even murder, to gain a multi-billion dollar advantage.
