Upcoming Firefly Movie Behind-the-Scenes Photos
browncoat1 writes "A Firefly Mod for Neverwinter Nights is available, based on the cancelled FOX Television show Firefly (by Joss Whedon, of Buffy, Angel, and Titan A.E. fame). The guy who wrote the mod just posted some secret behind-the-scenes photos from the set of the upcoming movie Serenity, based on the show and starring the actors and actresses from the show. It should be a must-see for fans of Firefly or sci-fi TV in general."
Spaceships, terraforming, and psychic powers aren't sci-fi to you? Okay then.
And sadly, if anything is making people desperate, it's the depths that both Star Wars and Star Trek have fallen to.
I love secret photos, especially when they are on the Internet and /. links to them!

Joss as much as admitted that he 'borrowed' the idea for Buffy the Vampire Slayer from a Japanese anime called 'Devil Hunter Yohko' in an interview I read a few years back [in print, sorry, no link] - I wonder what his influences were originally for Firefly?
The "guy who wrote the NVN mod" runs Sixbyte hosting, which is located in..... Tulsa, OK.
Is this a case of Astroturfing ?
To use a slogan from a certain network: I report, you decide!
> Which part of Firefly is sci-fi? It seems all that lousy Stargate etc stuff is making sci-fi fans desperate enough to accept anything...
It must be tough making it through life unable to enjoy anything but "real" SF.
While we're on that topic... ISTM that many (but not all) SF fans have a really anal[-]retentive approach to their hobby, i.e. a fixation on definitions, categorization, and list making. Look at the subject headers in an SF newsgroup sometime... "Is this SF?", "10 stories about one-eyed lesbian space pirates", etc. It's funny, in a sad sort of way.
Sheesh, evil *and* a jerk. -- Jade
Yeah, no kidding. Some people are just sad. Say, what was that URL for the lesbian space pirates again?
In Soviet Rush, today's Tom Sawyer gets high on you.
No photos of her =^(

If you're not outraged, then you're not paying attention.
It's like saying shows are same because they both have characters in them.
Andromeda's main premise is an attempt to (re)build a huge empire. It is highly political (and not in a smart, B5ish way) and highly idealistic (tada - everything is "Good Vs. Evil" like Star Trek and other idealistic "sci-fi")
Firefly's main premise is to keep flying and stay below radar, noone is good or evil, just people who can help and people who can hurt. Main theme is survival.
I think survival is something more people can relate to and makes for a much better science fiction (as opposed to "sci-fi")
