First Clip from Firefly Movie to be Shown at Comic-Con

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the first-looks dept.

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."

    A space cowboy, a space priest, etc all in a very unrealistic setting flying about in spacecraft which much cost a small fortune just doesnt do it for me. This show was cancelled for a reason, it just wasn't good. In fact many people think its terrible.

    Yes, good sci-fi is hard to come by and its difficult to make it into either TV or Film, but this show really puts the 'Wheadon is a goldenboy' meme to rest.

    >those of us with more than 2 braincells with nothing worth watching.

    Its this kind of elitism that makes people wonder why theres so much shitty sci-fi out there like Firefly, Lexx, badly produced and translated anime, etc. From the perspective of non-fanboys your love of some of these shows makes you look like the very same idiot you decry.

    Sci-fi is popular and everywhere. Being a fan of the genre doesnt make you some kind of uber-man.

    And then consider the people who dont even watch TV, they must think you're an idiot for not cracking open some good books.

    In other words, glass housing is relative and you're setting yourself up for a fall defending some show, especially when TV entertainment is so very subjective.

    Not to mention your condescending attitude doesnt really make any point other than "I'm a fan, I'm better than you non-fans!!!" Which is pretty sad.
