First Clip from Firefly Movie to be Shown at Comic-Con
Snaller writes "It's almost a tradition. At Comic-Con a few years back, Joss Whedon showed a stunned audience the first clip from Serenity, the pilot for his new show Firefly. Although the movie isn't due to open until April 22nd next year, Whedon is ready to show the first clip from from Serenity, the motion picture based on the Firefly series. He'll do it this weekend at Comic-Con, also present will be the cast from the series/movie (all 9 actors), editor Lisa Lassek, special effects guru Loni Peristere and producer Chris Buchanan.
It will take place on Sunday July 25th, 1-2pm, Room 20, afterwards there will be a signing session in room 28DE.
This was reported on what used to be the official Fox board, by the user 'AffableChap' which has previously been confirmed to be Chris Buchanan."
I loved the series and I can't wait to see this. No doubt Joss will give us something that leaves us begging for more.
Meanwhile, a hint about my thoughts on Fox...
: We shall rule over all this show, and we shall call it... this show.
: I think we should call it your grave!
: Argh, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
: Raaaaaaaarghhhhhhh!
: Raaaaaaaarghhhhhhh!
(Apologies to Joss Whedon).
isn't Joss a girls name?
Jayne's a girls name
A space cowboy and a space priest walk into a bar...
...never mind.
It would be cool if it didn't suck.

Book your tickets early as this one's going to be a sell out.
It's not like Family Guy is ever coming back either based on the strength of what happened *after* the show was cancelled. Oh wait...
> A space cowboy, a space priest, etc all in a very unrealistic setting
So... Which SF shows do you think have realistic settings?
Sheesh, evil *and* a jerk. -- Jade
i would...no question...pay 150$ a year for a dvd set with the entire season on it
Send me the $150. I'll ship you a DVD set of the entire first season of Firefly.
This is a limited time offer. You must act now! Operators are standing by.
I saw that shot more than a few times back when Starbuck was a man. ~ lucabrasi999
TV series have a different pacing than movies. Movies have to be more compressed in time and are able to do much more elaborate and detailed scenes due to much higher budgets.
My guess is that the movie will jump right into the main plot and introduce the characters by showing them doing their thing. Joss has a gift for dialogue so I bet he can sneak a lot of exposition into the action as they go.
My worry with the movie is studio oversight and stupid changes due to clueless executives. I can see it now. 'We want Nathan to be more hunky have him ride horses with no shirts.' or 'Wash should have more control switches, he is always flicking that switch to his upper right.'

and hopefully, ask him a question.
"Who does your hair?"
I'll do my best to answer all of your well thought out questions
" That critical part wouldn't happen to be the engine, would it?"No. It would be the compression coil. Or catalyzer.I most certainly would understand if Mal said no to Kaylee asking for a new engine.
"You know, the roughly cylindrical device that looks like a giant turd wrapped in tinfoil and then squashed slightly?"I'm pretty familiar with how the engine looks in the show, but no. It's not the engine
"A tinfoil-covered turd that just spins slowly, like it's roasting on a spit? I suppose that's there to turn the propeller."Likely to turn the propeller, but no, it's not the enigne. Nice try though!
"The engine that they stretch an entire episode around, where they treat it like it's some redneck's V8 in his 22 yr old Firebird..."Teehee Firebird, Firefly! Nice!
"complete with airhead slut (who becomes the mechanic? Engineer? Scotty was an engineer, she's a monkey with a wrench.)."Well, I don't think any engine is complete without an airhead slut. After all, someone has to sit there and turn the handle to make the tin foil covered slow roasting turd spin the propeller. But in fact, this particular engine originally shipped with a surfer boy, who was later upgraded to an airhead slut. Not a bad upgrade I think.
"Josh Whedon's "great" space western is one part really bad scifi, one part bad western, with a pinch of bad acting."Don't forget a dash drama! Oh by the way Commander Troll, it's Joss, not Josh.
