[daxmaryrussel]

The Serenity premiere (the film of Firefly) will be held Wednesday 5th October at around 6.30 Odeon West End Lecister Square. - Joss Weadon, Nathan Fillion and Summer Glau are reported to be there.

Hmm I wish I could be there too - but I'll have to wait until 30 October when I'm coming over to London again

Then Serenity will hit cinemas in UK on 7 Oct according to:

I think it will be a great film to watch - it got lots of good reviews already:

It premieres in the US on 30 September...

Got 4.2 of 5 at google reviews...

The reviews have been extemely good as you say Dax.....and it begs the question 'who are the fools running US television?'

A number of newspaper reviews have implied that if Serenity becomes a box office hit it will cause a low level ripple effect throughout US television. A lot of so called 'hip' staffers will be very unemployed if Joss pulls off a hit.

I'm hoping for a huge success......its about time the audience entered the calculations of the TV programming fools, don't forget, over the last two years a huge number of very viable shows found themselves cancelled before they even got really established....Firefly being just one.

So, support Serenity and improve television

All so true, Anubis. Couldn't agree with you more! ;D

Just read in google news: "'Serenity' makes a bumpy landing" says Boston Globe. Must check that one out. (It seems like scifi MUST get bad(ish) reviews all the time, doesn't it ). Well perhaps I was too quick to judge there - the review made for an interesting read.

"Still, ''Serenity" has instant diehard fans. The night I saw it, one very satisfied customer suggested the movie signaled a sea change in the science-fiction universe. As the credits rolled, he damned George Lucas with an expletive, and many of the dozens of stragglers applauded.

The derision makes sense. ''Serenity" does for serious Lucas fans what Lucas hasn't done for them lately. It evokes the wild-and-woolly zing of the first three ''Star Wars" pictures, when the series's myth-minded self-seriousness was the stuff of subtext and its dumb jokes could bring down the house. If ''Serenity" takes off and spawns sequels (as it seems destined to), it's crucial that Whedon take a lesson from Lucas's greatest flaw and never stop laughing with us."

Has anyone "over there" seen it? What did you think?

It took the number 2 spot in the US box office chart taking $10.1 million in it's first weekend now bear in mind that Star Trek: Nemesis only grossed $18.5M.

I wasn't a fan of the series so I don't think I'll go see the movie.
