[I thought this article would be of interest](http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/art-film.html?2004-05/06/12.30.film) Especially this bit. > [@](#): > > Joss Whedon—who is directing Serenity, a movie version of his SF western TV series Firefly—told SCI FI Wire that he will begin production in three weeks, with all of the original cast members in place, led by Nathan Fillion. ---

“River is a very important question in the show.” Dammit. hope it isn’t “Firefly, the Musical”. ---

I’m actually less concerned with River–she’s crazy, the blue-hand-group are responsible, end of story–than I am with _Book_. I want some answers. ---

According to Jewel Staite’s post to [this](http://www.fireflyfans.net/) site, they’re done with location shooting and are moving to the studios. How cool is it that the actors are posting to fansites? ---

So has anyone on the Dope joined the Browncoats? That looks like a time waster. I’d hate to waster 50 credits by signing up without a reference. ---

Yes, I’ve joined the Browncoats. I can email you an invite if you’d like.

I hate going to the movies now (25 minutes of commercials and trailers, good morons, $8-10 tickets, ect. . ), but I will be there opening day. 🙂 ---

Well, I’m tickled with these developments! I haven’t seen a lot of films in the theatres lately (I usually procrastinate until they come out on DVD), but I will definitely be seeing this one on the big screen! > [@JThunder](#): > > Kaylee so cute. I saw her in episode 10 (I think?) of _Wonderfalls_. She plays the bartender guy’s ex-wife. Much skinner there, and with a not-nice personality. ---
