Serenity
I saw Serenity last night at the Edinburgh Film Festival (in a packed cinema full of Buffy/Firefly fans).
Having never seen an episode of Firefly, I wasn't really sure what to expect, and to be honest, I was preparing myself to be a little dissapointed.
No worries here though. I'm glad to say my first taste of the Firefly universe was a wholly positive one.
The first shot of the interior of the ship takes us on a little tour (one of those neverending steadycam shots) which introduces us to each of the crew by means of snappy little dialogue exchanges between the captain and said crewmember. All great stuff that manages to sum up each character in Joss Whedon style little 10 second bursts.
I'll write a better review when I have more time, but this movie deserves to be a success, and I hope the marketing bods get it right and encourage folk to go see it in in their droves! (though i'm not sure how they're gonna sell it with no big name stars)

It's amazing the amount of people we've turned onto the show by pimpimg the film.
Saw it at a preview screening waaaay back at the beginning of the year & can't wait until it's on general release over here.
Excited?
Moi?
Never!

Serenity is getting it's UK premiere tonight.
"See director Joss Whedon and the stars of the film arrive at the Odeon West End, Leicester Square, from 18:15).
It's on general release this Friday.
Shame, I haven't seen any publicity for it at all. Looks like it'll be in and out of the cinema in a week!

Joss Whedon, Nathan Filion and Summer Glau are also doing a signing at HMV on London's Oxford Street tomorrow lunchtime. If I wasn't working I'd be tempted to go along.
As for publicity there's posters plastered all over the tube and I've seen the trailer on TV a few times...
