The New United Church of Serenity...
You know it's good. Damned good. The White Album, Battle of Hoth, honey-flavoured Greek yoghurt-level good. Now it's up to you and us to gather and spread the word! Never before has the SFX team been united in its love of one TV series. Never before have we confidently recommended that every single reader of this magazine owes it to him or herself to own a particular box set. But that was the case with Firefly.
Sure, we're sometimes dubbed the unofficial Joss Whedon magazine. Sure we're biased. But ever since we awarded the Firefly box set five stars we've has hundreds of letters along the lines of, "I wasn't sure about this show, but after reading your enthusiastic review I bought it and now I'm 100% converted." So we know you love Joss's exquisite space western as much as we do. What's not to like? It's sharp, it's funny, it's packed with great characters, it's got fantastic FX, and it's got a tough guy with a girlie name.
And now, of course, there's a movie on the way: Serenity. We want it to be a hit. Oh, how we want it to be a hit. So let's get the buzz started NOW! The best publicity is word of mouth, so put your mouth to the best use it's had since you discovered how to swear in a foreign language.
Your mission is to create converts. Spread the word. Convince your mates - like we convinced you - to watch the show. Now, this may entail you having to lend out your DVD box sets; this could be traumatic. It may come back with scuffed corners. IT'S WORTH IT FOR THE GREATER GOOD! (Or you could just lend them the discs in one of those plastic case thingies...). You could also try:
--> Group Firefly viewing sessions, with the promise of beer and pizza to lure in potential conquests.
--> Ringing up your local radio station phone-in to babble on about Firefly.
--> Sneaking into Dixons to pump Firefly onto all the TV sets on display.
--> Projecting the Firefly logo onto the Houses of Parliament (or, alternatively, Gail Porter's bare buttocks).
--> Crop circles.
--> Surreptitiously setting up a TV showing Firefly in the Tate Gallery. It'll take them weeks to realise it's not the latest Tracey Emin piece.
--> Bribing people.
However you decide to spread the word, tell us about it. If you get on TV or radio, or the newspapers, send us the evidence. Best still, get new converts to e-mail us (sfx@futurenet.co.uk) and pledge their allegiance to the New United Church of Serenity. And we shall discover the Serenity Superfan.

Well, sports fans, it's official. The movie is shot. Done. And I couldn't be happier to be through with it. No more of that exciting, vibrant set, that warm camaraderie, that creative stimulus, free donuts... Excuse me. I have something in my eye... free donuts...
Oh, there's things I'll miss. But there's definitely things I WON'T miss.
In no particular order:
1) Fillion. People who are prettier than me are not supposed to be funnier than me. I think it's a guild thing. And that whole 'gracious and professional' thing got old on day ONE, you know what I mean?
2) Cinematographer Jack Green. This guy lights stuff ALL THE TIME. Seriously, like eighty-three percent of the shots had light in them. He totally didn't get my "Just Like Radio" concept for the film.
3) The incessant meddling of the studio: where was it? We waited and waited, what, are they all too busy and important to take the time to ruin my little film? This is Hollywood, people. Learn our ways and customs while you're here. Sheesh.
Just a taste of the Hell I've been through. And being surrounded by beautiful women, and, let's face it, beautiful men, all of whom get along, work hard and play their characters with such ease and nuance it's clear they were born for the roles -- who needs that?
But no matter how much I suffer for my art, it's worth it. 'Cause come April 22nd I think we'll be bringing you an exciting film that's a powerful statement about the right to be free. Which is not as cool as my original statement about the right to tasty garlic mussels in a cilantro broth, but the freedom thing's okay too. The editing started this week, and after just a first cut I can safely say this will be the greatest film since whatever film comes out right before it. And I'm not backing down from that.
Thanks for your support. And I mean that more literally than people usually do -- Coming back from the Chicago Con and telling people there was a Serenity booth put up and run entirely by fans... you should have seen their faces. Hell, you should have seen mine. But not too close. And not before, like, 10:00 -- maybe 11:00 a.m. And maybe sort of from the side. The back-ish part of the side. You should have seen my hair.
Be well. Good things are coming.
Cilantro!
-joss.

Hi Roj
Now that my life is relatively back to "normal" (what is that?), I'm not sure what to write about. I guess I should just be honest and say what's on my mind. WORK. Work is a good thing. All of my friends are telling me to chill out, take a break, live life like a normal person (there's that word again), and just do the things that make me happy. But I think to be creatively happy, I have to be involved in something work-wise that I love. Which isn't the case right now. But I'm still content.
Lately I'm spending my days walking my dog, going shopping for sweaters and fall gear, catching up with friends over long lunches or cocktails at my favorite spots around the city... sleeping in and hanging out with my family, and doing errands I forgot about sixth months ago like getting my teeth cleaned. There are auditions, of course, which is nice... but it's hard to come off of something so wonderful, like "Serenity", and have to distance yourself just so you're not disappointed... if that makes sense. Nothing is ever going to be like that experience. That's just the way it is.
During our long drive home to Vancouver, Matty and I came up with a new, very addictive game called "Top Ten". I think up a category, like, "what's your favorite top ten vacation spots ever?" and he answers, then I answer... and then it's his turn to think up the next category (I think one of his was, "what were your top ten favorite songs that make you cry?") Anyway. I thought I'd apply my new favorite game here, and give you my top ten favorite things about Serenity, my top ten least favorite things about filming Serenity, and then finally... since some people are wondering about how DragonCon went, my top ten favorite things about DragonCon. So here goes: * these are in no particular order, either.. number one isn't any better than number five, and so on...*
TOP TEN THINGS I WILL MISS FROM FILMING "SERENITY":
1. The breakfast sandwiches every morning. Little egg, little bacon, little tomato, little processed cheese, little English muffin.... hello!!!
2. Sean Maher's laugh. I could listen to Sean laugh all day long. His nostrils flare slightly when he laughs. (shhh)
3. Watching the footage from the day previous every lunch hour. What an excellent breaking point to the middle of the day.... and how inspiring that was.
4. Giving Nathan the finger, more ways than one (hundred).
5. Nathan's parties at his house. And how the girls always won on game night. And yes, I said ALWAYS.
6. Joss-hugs.
7. The cakes and letters and other wonderful things delivered to us by faithful Browncoats.
8. Conversations with Morena. And Summer. And Gina. I miss them.
9. The hair and make-up team!!! I. LOVED. MY. HAIR.
10. This crew. And this cast. Actually, every single person who was involved in the making of this movie. I had the best time. It filled every expectation and then some. I am so proud I was a part of it.
And now...
TOP FIVE THINGS I DON'T MISS ABOUT FILMING "SERENITY": (cause I can't think of ten)
1. Getting indigestion from the breakfast sandwiches.
2. The smell of the toilets in the dressing rooms when they hadn't been emptied for a few weeks.
3. Walking in on political discussions involving I-won't-say-who.
4. The Jurassic Park theme song.
5. Saying good-bye.
And finally:
TOP TEN FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT DRAGON*CON:
1. The fans. Hands down. How much fun did we have? And thank you to everyone you showed us a good time at the Hyatt bar... you know who you are.
2. The Marriott Hotel. Which was beautiful.
3. Spending some time with "11th Hour" aka Susan, who rocks. What a brilliant woman.
4. The Q&A sessions. Those are always my most favorite, and I wish they lasted for three hours... not one. One isn't enough, people!!
5. The panel involving the true Firefly/soon-to-be Serenity fans in the Hyatt on Sunday night. Thank you for welcoming me and letting me interrupt your panel. You guys are awesome.
6. All the people dressed up as the Firefly crew, especially the "Kaylee's"... nice job!
7. Flipping Nathan the bird along with the rest of the Dragon*Con population.
8. The last-minute, absolutely wonderful birthday party thrown for Matty on his 25th birthday. Thanks for making him feel so welcome, as always.
9. All the "fabulous people" (you know who you are) I met in the VIP suite. Can't wait to see you again.
10. The food. No, just joking..... I would say, lastly, the amount of spirit I witnessed. There are a lot of people out there who care about this show, and about "Serenity", and it's future. Because of you, we may be able to do a few more movies... That's the goal, right? I can't express my gratitude enough to you people. Thanks for an awesome labor day weekend.
I'll be keeping in touch.... Can't wait for you guys to see that first trailer!!!!
Love Jewel

I posted this on fireflyfans too. But I was reading IMDB and it said the Original Music by Carter Burwin. I looked him up, and he did the music for The Alamo and worked on Oh Brother Where art Thou?. I think its a great choice, and The Alamo had great music. I'll miss Greg Edmondson, but I think this guy is a great choice.
----
He's Spike Jonze's and the Coen brothers' weapon of choice. This bodes very well.
----
He did A Knight's Tale?
Suddenly, my anticipation of the movie has just dropped a rather big notch.
A big notch?! I would have loved Edmonson as well, but even if you didn't like A Knight's Tale, how can you ignore Adaptation, Being John Malkovich, Three Kings, all the great Coen films, etc. Burwell is no slouch.
At the recent White Room convention in Heathrow, "Firefly" cast members Nathan Fillion, Summer Glau and Morena Baccarin attended and talked about the upcoming film spin-off "Serenity". 'Mikey' was on hand to file this report:
"During the panel they said:
Morena: - 'I can tell you that you're not going to be disappointed. You're going to see a lot of things you've not seen before that you've wanted to see."
Mindre spoilers (det spoilar inte mer än vad trailern gör i alla fall)
Nathan:- 'In the series, the mere mention of these would send fear into the heart of the bravest Jayne Cobb. In Serenity, the Reavers are right here."
Morena: - 'They're very scary."
Nathan: - 'You''d be having lunch, and they''d be across from you, and you'd be like sir, you lip is pinned back, and some of your hair is missing and your eye is hanging out."
Nathan refused to answer questions about Mal and Inara, and what we may or may not see regarding them in the film, but did start giving out Alliance dollar notes to anyone who asked a question, stolen from the set. Morena also told us, if the movie is successful, all nine actors are locked in. She has more action in the film, and actually got bruises on her neck one day from being manhandled.
Spoiler Buffy S7
Nathan has one scene, a close up where he falls into a close framed shot, hard, similar to his first death as Caleb in Buffy - he was dissatisfied with that, feeling his landing was too soft, so he was determined to make this new shot a harder, more realistic fall. Six takes later, he was regretting that decision. He has no nude scenes in the movie, but will be seen shirtless (all girlies in the audience are a mix of excited 'oohs" and disappointed 'ahhs").
The rebuilt ship took up a huge soundstage on Universal - the cargo bay & sickbay along one side, the top deck and bridge across the other. While they were filming the final scenes on the bridge, they were already tearing down the cargo bay across the stage - Nathan said it was very difficult to see it coming down a second time, as he had watched it come down when the series was axed. As already stated, the sets are largely the same, but there is 'more character, more detail" - Morena said it was like going home and finding someone had rearranged the furniture, the same but different. Nathan said 'there are cool flat plasma screens on the bridge."
