"Serenity" lands in theaters this coming weekend

The premiere of the long awaited and continuously delayed film Serenity based on the short lived TV series Firefly will happen this Friday Sept 30th. The film is the brainchild of the writer and director Joss Whedon, the creator and director of cult classics, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel". The movie came about after the release of the DVD set of the first and only season. The DVDs sold over an amazing 200,000 copies and the number is expected to grow with the release of the movie. Joss has a great way of mixing science fiction and humor and I think the movie will show this combination works well together. I know a lot of Joss fans will back me up on this statement. Also, I have read around the web and in sci- fi chat rooms Joss is working on the new movie "Wonder Woman" with a cameo by Linda Carter. A small contingent of sci-fi and Firefly fans including me and fellow blogger Cheryl will be in attendance for the 7:45 showing of the film. Hopefully we will do some interviews with the local fan base here in Colorado Springs.If anyone else wants to join us at the theater we will be there early to get the good seats and as I said hopefully talk to some folks about what they think of the series now rerunning on the Sci- Fi channel and of the movie. Who knows- maybe they will do another if this one takes off. Pardon the pun, but it just couldn’t be helped. Stay tuned to SCIFIPUNDIT as we will be reviewing this film.
