This is they kind of press we have been hoping for!

Okay, fair warning, there is a topless photo in the article for another movie. Cut and past in your browser.

HERE IS THE ARTICLE-

For sheer, joyful entertainment, though, there's no question as to this festival's hottest ticket: the world première of Joss Whedon's Serenity. A science fiction western based on Whedon's cult television series Firefly, it picks up where the series left off, pitting Captain Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) and his rogue crew of small-time rebels against the military might of a superpower called The Alliance. Between them lies the mystery of River Tam (Summer Glau), a psychic assassin who holds the key to the future of the universe.

As the man responsible for Buffy The Vampire Slayer, perhaps only Whedon could conceive of a science fiction western - and pull it off with such élan. His command of form and playful delight in extending it serve him well again here; Serenity delivers all the thrills, spills and eye-popping explosions one could demand of a big studio blockbuster.

A complex ensemble piece without major stars, it has characters to care about, a keenly political intelligence, and some of the most cracking banter since Howard Hawks was in his prime. It deserves to be a huge hit when it's released next month.

Great Press!

I think this is going to be a huge hit in Britian. I'm hoping we can get the media on the bandwagon over here in the states like the UK soon.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

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

Shiny!

We can use all the praise and buzz we can get. Let's hope this convinces some more people to go see the movie.

Excellent review! Thanks for sharing. I personally am working on several people at work, trying to get them revved up for the movie and I will be sending them this link.

And I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an over-abundance of schooling. Mal, Train Job
