WOO FREAKING HOO! this is the best day in the entire world (except of course for a certain day in 2005). i'm in the library at school and it is so hard not to do a song and dance (ballad of serenity of course) in front of 20 or so speechless students. i did allow myself a joyful punch of the air though. just couldn't help myself. things have been not-so-shiny since angel was cancelled, it's soooooooooo great to get the shiny back!

you can't take the sky from us!

This is the shiniest news I have heard in a long time. And I needed it coming off the heels of Angel getting the ax. Congrats Joss and all my fellow Browncoats. I'll see you at the theater!

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

Now that's a plan, that will also mean the film makes more money. We should also have a contest to see how many people we can persuade to see the movie, therefore making the film more money, which means a better chance of a series revival. However I hope it opens in the U.K on the same day as the U.S and due to the time difference we will get it first

but I doubt it.

That is a shiny idea. I will probably just camp out in the theatre for the whole weekend!

Of course there was that post by Static that he has a friend who runs a theatre in Raliegh, NC that they might be able to hold the movie at on opening night. It would be great to have a gathering of Browncoats for premiere night.

I saw this early this morning, but couldn't respond since I was studying for a quantum test later in the day.

This is AMAZING news. I've been checking fireflyfans.net on a daily basis since around the time the dvd was released, and damn near almost on an hourly basis since "Serenity" appeared on Universal's Coming Soon section.

With that said, no one can possibly imagine how quickly I went from being groggy and pissed off for having to get up so early to study to wide awake and absolutely elated when I checked fireflyfans one more time before I went to campus! (=

Soon there'll be the joy of an official website, and random unconfirmable rumours as to plot content and griping from some quarters that it's not gonna have the same feel as the show and cast interviews that are frustratingly cryptic.....I can't wait!
And if it does get released in late 2005, it'll be right around my birthday time --- sweet.

More info from universalpictures.com:

GROUNDBREAKING WRITER/DIRECTOR JOSS WHEDON
MAKES HIS FEATURE DIRECTORIAL DEBUT FOR UNIVERSAL PICTURES

UNIVERSAL CITY, CA, March 3, 2004 – Joss Whedon—the Oscar®- and Emmy-nominated writer/director responsible for the worldwide television phenomena of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel—is set to make his feature film directorial debut with the futuristic action-adventure Serenity, it was announced today by Mary Parent and Scott Stuber, vice chairmen, production, Universal Pictures.

Based on Whedon’s cult hit television series Firefly (which has taken on a second life following its December 9, 2003, DVD release, winning new fans and critical praise worldwide), Serenity will continue and expand upon the adventures of the memorable characters launched in the series, who will be joined by new characters created expressly for the motion picture adaptation. Whedon will act as both screenwriter and director, with Barry Mendel (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and the upcoming Wes Anderson film, The Life Aquatic) producing and Chris Buchanan (president of Whedon’s Mutant Enemy production company) and Alisa Tager (of Barry Mendel Productions) serving as executive producers. The Serenity cast will include such returning Firefly cast members as Nathan Fillion as Captain Malcolm ‘Mal’ Reynolds, Gina Torres as Zoë Warren, Morena Baccarin as Inara Serra, Jewel Staite as Kaylee Frye, Adam Baldwin as Jayne Cobb, Sean Maher as Dr. Simon Tam and Summer Glau as River Tam.

“We have wanted to be in business with Joss Whedon for a long time and we’re incredibly excited to be working with him on his feature film directorial debut,” stated Parent and Stuber. “Joss is a true creator, whose talent crosses all mediums. His mythic worlds are inhabited with rich, detailed and very human characters. Serenity will provide him with a great opportunity to paint another larger-than-life canvas with very identifiable, real characters at the heart of the story.”
Whedon—whose compelling use of character, place and dramatic development helped Buffy and Angel to break down genre walls and cross over into global hit mainstream territory—now applies his trademark compassion and wit to a small band of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future. The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family – squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal.

When Mal takes on two new passengers—a young doctor and his unstable, telepathic sister—he gets much more than he bargained for. The pair are fugitives from the coalition dominating the universe, who will stop at nothing to reclaim the girl. The crew that was once used to skimming the outskirts of the galaxy unnoticed find themselves caught between the unstoppable military force of the Universal Alliance and the horrific, cannibalistic fury of the Reavers, savages who roam the very edge of space. Hunted by vastly different enemies, they begin to discover that the greatest danger to them may be on board Serenity herself.

In addition to creating the series Firefly, Angel and Buffy (as well as serving as executive producer on all three while writing and directing multiple episodes), Whedon’s feature film screenwriting credits include the original motion picture Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Toy Story (for which he received an Academy Award® nomination) and Alien: Resurrection. Whedon also composed the music and wrote the lyrics for the self-directed Buffy episode “Buffy, The Musical,” and the CD of the original songs from that landmark episode has sold more than 400,000 units. Whedon was nominated for the Emmy for outstanding writing on the Buffy episode entitled “Hush.” Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the second highest-selling television series on DVD.

From what one of the crew posted on the official board back in Jan or Feb of '03, the sets were torn down and tossed out. They did not save anything.

I imagine Joss will want to build new sets anyway in keeping w/ the "bigger, more epic" feel he is looking for w/ the movie.

Wouldn't it be something if the only thing from the original set was that "Big Red Button".

Xie-xie: to Universal, for having the forsight and taste to make this film a reality; to the fans for keeping "Serenity" flyin' via every way from word of mouth to internet sites, to making the DVD set a success; and to Joss for never giving up the dream.

I have to share that I had the best day yesterday.

At work, we had our annual employee communication meetings. The Vice-President of our division singled out my department (otherwise known as my boss and me)for having done a great job with our part of the merger that happened last year. Then he announced that we had done better than expected from a profit standpoint, so they were awarding bonuses to all employees this Friday. (Absolutely unexpected, because most of us thought the merger had caused us to underperform rather than overperform.)

Then I came home and learned the Firefly was OFFICIAL. It does not get any better than this.

You're on my crew. Why are we still talking about this?

I too usually read all the posts before entering my own, except I was too excited to finish them all. Unfortunately, what can I say that hasn't already been said. "Hit the button" and "HELL F'IN' YYYEEEAAHH-YA!!!" are all I've got left. After we're disappointed with Episode III next year at least we'll have "Serenity", our New Hope.
P.S.: Any news about this resurrecting the series?

Not sure if this was posted among all the other posts, but an article I read in a magazine today said they sold 200,000 DVD sets. Good for us.

Isn't it from the commentaries on the dvd, where they put 'sp' on the front of everything to make it space-x?

So: space-whore, i.e. inara

Only four?! I'm thinking too many times to count.

I'm so beyond excited for this movie. I have already alerted all of my friends who I have managed to get hooked on it and am in the process of recruiting others.

I just want to know where Alan and Ron are. I will cry if they don't end up in the movie.

I heard a rumor that the movie script was supposed to wrap up the story all nice and neat, but was then told by the studio to re-write it with openings for a new series.

what about Alan Tudyk and Ron Glass.. it wont be Serenity without Preacher and Wash.

I hope they just didnt mention them( tho thats almost an equal shame, since they were so much of the crew in thier own right).

I am sure Alan & Ron will be part of the film. It is most likely scheduling and finalizing paperwork that is holding up the announcement of their signing.

Once it is official, we will hear that they are onboard.

What are you talking about?!? It would NOT be the same without Alan (Wash) - "Who's flying this thing? Oh, yes, that would be me!" I love him in everything he does! Can hardly wait for "Dodgeball..." with Ben Stiller and "I, Robot" with Will Smith. Too bad you won't actually see Alan in I, Robot; but, we'll all know who it is!

I've been a regular "lurker" for the last few months, but just wanted to post a response to the "Wash" and "Book" absence. If you look up Alan Tudyk's name in the IMDB website you'll see that they have him LISTED as a cast member for Serentity in 2005. Ron Glass too. So I'm sure it's just final scheduling stuff and contract negotiations holding up the "official" notice. Thought you'd all be interested!

Have a shiny day!

Great to see you come out of lurk mode SpiritGirl67. Hope to see you posting regularly.

I checked out IMDb, but did not see a listing for either Ron or Alan as being in Serenity. Did I miss something?

Um, I thought what she was saying was that you have to go to their individual pages, not the movie page. But then I checked and that's not right either. Hmm.

I'm sure they're going to be signed on soon! Alan was listed in the casting spoiler, and Ron has provided his address with other movie-people (look on serenitymovie.net for more info), so I'm sure it's just legalities keeping them out (for now)!

I'm surprised that the series focus is finally being realized by someone outside of everyone here and Joss Whedon (crew included).

I just hope that this movie will bring back the series, or make it into an ongoing movie series like Star Wars or Star Trek.

Actually, in my original post I DID mean that you had to look at the individual actor page for Alan Tudyk and "Serenity.....2005" was listed in his filmography. I went back there after having read your responses today and noticed that it doesn't include Serenity and the picture of him is different. Could be the updated the web site???

Either way...they HAVE to have Wash and Book in the movie....so I'm just gonna believe it's so!
