Curious if anyone else saw the trailer for the movie 'Serenity' that is coming out in September. It is a continuation of the Sci-Fi show 'Firefly' that was created by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel) & was treated very poorly by FOX & canceled after only 13 episodes. It looks great as a standalone movie, but looks as if it will be terrific to anyone who followed the series, like I did. If you haven't seen it, you can get the complete series DVD set cheap at Barnesandnoble.com. You can check out the trailer for 'Serenity' at www.serenitymovie.com. Anyone else watch this show on this board besides me ?
How does a show fail and then gets a movie deal? Oh well. FOX once removed Family Guy. "Insanity later!"
Shows frequently gain and lose success at no fault of their own. CBS passed on Survivor twice before they finally decided to try it, and it gave birth to a whole genre of TV. From what I understand, Firefly was a very good show, but poor marketing and bad times lots can really kill a show. I should download a boot of Firefly and see what it was like.
2 of the guys in my office went to an early screening here in Austin, hey said it was AWESOME ! It aired 11 episodes on Fox, out of order I might add, then they released all 14 episodes on DVD and it took off, they tried to bring it back but a lot of the cast had gotten other gigs. Do yourself a favor get the series on DVD, best show to be put on TV in years, IMHO. DD
