If you talk about Buffy The Vampire Slayer just about everyone will have heard of it at one time or another. But if you mention Joss Whedon's other TV series Firefly, you might get some strange looks or a shrug. Firefly was Joss's dive into the sci-fi universe and was a very cool show with some impressive FX and CGI. The show garnered a good following, but just as other good shows before it(can you say Farscape), it was cancelled by the network after just 13 episodes. Whedon is now releasing a 2 hr theatrical release to continue the story of the crew of characters that many have grown to love and have missed over the past months. Joss is hoping that this new movie will open the story up for new viewers and still grab the imagination of the existing fan base. Joss states that the movie will be understood by new viewers, but if you are planning on seeing it and wouls like more background, you can find the whole 13 episode series on DVD. The movie is set for a September 30th release.Also the poster image on this post is of the Australian release poster. It is much cooler than the US poster and by far my favorite image from the film so far. River looks very nice up front in her action pose. You can check out the official movie site here.

I am a big Firefly fan and am glad to see you mention it on your site. I have already seen the movie even though it doesn't come out for a couple more weeks. I think it is helpful to know a little bit of the storyline before seeing the movie. However, it was really spectacular and I hope people love it.
