Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Shifting this here from the Firefly 3 thread.

Don't know if this has been posted and I can't vouch for the veracity of the claim but I got this from another board I frequent. Just posting as I found it:

I was working with Nathan Fillion who plays the captain of the firefly. He told me some really cool stuff that is being done in the movie.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!

1. I don't watch the show but Nathan told me you can expect to see what the bad guys really look like. Apparently you've only heard, but never seen them in the show.

2. It is super action oriented. In one scene, straight out of The Searchers, the villians are destroying a local town and killing everyone. There is a small boy and mother running for their lives and the crew of the Firefly have to leave without them. As they pull away in there landspeeder. Nathan pulls out his gun and shoots both the mother and the boy to keep them from tortured.

I'm actually not happy about this. I'm with the people who think unseen Reavers we don't know too many details about will be scarier than Reavers onscreen or even in depth information about them.

Also shooting the civilians/wounded/left behind to keep them from falling into the hands of the enemy worries me a bit. I'm assuming Joss is taking a cliche and exaggerating it and spinning it around. But that is such a big cliche, that I'm worried that what sometimes happened on Buffy will happen here - that a big blinking neon sign flashing "irony" won't stop it from being a cliche.

Just a question: is it necessary to white font in a Spoiler thread?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't see why. It's not lite.

Just a question: is it necessary to white font in a Spoiler thread?

I was wondering that. I think not, but having never been a Spoiler thread dweller before I'm not sure. But while we are, I'm think I'm with Typo Boy-- but I trust Joss. It could work.

Edit: ah, thanks, ita.

Also, I think that those same events could look very different in context, even if the report is accurate.

Who? moi??

Are we all just assuming the statements are correct? Come on, the many times Joss has managed to spin us?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

According to Fireflyfans.net Gina Torres at a recent con said that Ron Glass would indeed be in the movie, though there's been no official word on his presence yet.

Chris Buchanan had a few things to say as well, including quashing the rumor that the movie would be filmed in New York or Vancouver. Drat!

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Dark Horizons claims that Gina Torres intimated that David Boreanz will be in Serenity.

Ambivalence ensues.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Gina Torres intimated that David Boreanz will be in Serenity.

Hmm. Does he get kicked out of an afterburner?

Or, I'd love to see some sort of subtle connection between the Angelverse and the Flyverse.
