Serenity Q&A
CulturePulp talks to Joss Whedon ahead of the US release of Serenity. They say there are some slight spoilers, so I’m not reading it until I’ve seen the movie.

Joss Whedon’s Firefly movie, Serenity, is due for release in the States in September. A trailer is up at the Apple trailers site. Along with Farscape, Firefly was a refreshing step away from the Trek view of TV sci-fi. Farscape was pure, over the top, space opera whilst Firefly was eccentric and a bit more Hard SF meets future western.

Last, best hope
Farscape was cancelled, but has come back as a mini series. Firefly was cancelled, but is coming back as a film. And now Babylon 5, which wasn’t cancelled but had run its course, is to spawn a feature film.

Serene
Firefly was Buffy creator Joss Whedon’s take on the space opera. It was significantly different to the Trek/ Bab 5 axis of sci-fi, which was probably part of its problem. Whilst Buffy practically created its own sub genre, Firefly was entering a crowded field. It was cancelled after 12 episodes.
However, it looks like a film version will start shooting this May.

It’s by the guy who created Buffy and it’s described as ‘the anti Trek’.
I want it now!
