Hi everyone!!

SciFi.com just posted this article about Serenity:

Serenity Takes Off Soon

Joss Whedon—who is directing Serenity, a movie version of his SF western TV series Firefly—told SCI FI Wire that he will begin production in three weeks, with all of the original cast members in place, led by Nathan Fillion. Compared with the Fox series, the movie will be "bigger, faster, stronger," Whedon said in an interview at the Saturn Awards in Los Angeles. "The show plays on a very small, personal level. And while I want that to work in the movie, the movie has an epic quality and a resolve that you simply can't afford in a TV show. Because if you have the epic quality, you run out of money, and if you have the resolve, you run out of ideas. ... The movie is really like, if you took a giant hit of the show all at once. It's very big. Perhaps I should use different imagery."

Whedon added that the movie will wrap up story points left dangling when Fox unceremoniously canceled the show in the middle of its first season. "It won't wrap up all the storylines," he said. "It's not a miniseries. It's a movie. But it does deal with some of the outstanding questions of the show. Like River [Summer Glau]. River is a very important question in the show."

Whedon added that the movie will be shot in Los Angeles on all-new sets. "They're a little grander in scale," he said. "They're a little more movie-like. ... Everything outside of Serenity is a place we haven't visited and people we've not seen, but it is the world that was from the show." Serenity is aiming at a 2005 release.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Welcome to the board Rusty. Hope to see you around.

As to the movie news on Scifi.com, nothing we did not already know, but thanks for the link. Hopefully there will be some new info once shooting starts in 3 weeks.

Whoa, there...I'm...I'm feelin' it! 90 minutes to 2 hours of goodiness, scheduled for ca. 10-12 months from now. Getting my Mal Reynolds costume ready for the premiere...kinda OT, but anyone else geeking out entirely and getting a group together to go as the crew? 'Course, with Firefly, the high-caliber costume designs make it not so much geeking out as feeling suddenly fashionable.

Anyway, good to finally hear from someone in production that all nine are a go for the big filmic thing. Bracing myself for a series of broad cinematic strokes...

MALICIOUS

Confessions of a wanna-be-browncoated-BDM-dressin'up-geek:

(Raises hand, bows head in shame)

Unfortunately, I will probably not be as fancified as most. I will probably just beg/borrow/steal a shiny brown coat of some sort. I may try to make/buy a brown leather Zoe-vest. And I will buy some boots. But other than that, no.
