Einige spoilerfreie Anmerkungen von Joss Whedon zu Serenity in einem Interview mit

Underground Online

UGO: How soon are you going to start shooting the Firefly movie,
Serenity?

JOSS: Two weeks.

UGO: I saw you are going to be working with Clint Eastwood's
cinematographer, Jack Green. What made you go for him?

JOSS: I'm really excited about that. I read about Jack probably the
first time I ever bought an issue of American Cinematographer. It was
about Tightrope [released in 1984], but I try not to think about that
because I get intimidated. I'm working with Jack because he has the
same spirit that the DP on the show had, which is light it fast, keep
the momentum going, and make it pretty, but don't kill a day's work to
get a stream of light. If the actors are good give them time to do the
job. He has great enthusiasm. I don't want this movie to look too
studied. Jack speaks the language perfectly and is never pretentious
about it. Once I got over being a fan geek around him, I realized he
was exactly the kind of guy I want to be around anyway.

UGO: I think one of my favorite moments from the Firefly TV show was in
an earlier episode where someone gets thrown through the bar window,
but it's not made of glass but is a force-field instead. Will you have
time for little details and moments like that?

JOSS: That bar window moment was a little hokey though. You don't have
time for that, you never do. The movie has to have a momentum that a
series doesn't have. I'm trying to embrace realism while still making
the point that the future is a lot of stuff from the past all mixed up.
That's how it's created...a blender. I'll definitely have all kinds of
moments like that for texture. I have to let the movie breathe too
because I'm not making a rollercoaster ride. But at the same time, you
definitely don't have time to explore every small moment between every
person like you do on a TV show.

UGO: I read that you are making a movie that is going to appeal to
everyone, and not just fans of the series. When you were in the writing
process for Serenity, did you ever not do something because you knew
only fans of the series would get it?

JOSS: You have to make it for the broadest possible audience. Universal
doesn't want a movie that is the next episode of the TV series nor do I
want to make that. However, I am strict about trying to respect the
fans of the show because they have so much to do with why we got this
movie made in the first place. I was really serving two masters, and it
made the writing process difficult. I was determined to find a story
that would not repeat or contradict in any major way what has gone
before on the show, yet to fresh eyes it would seem just the right
place to start telling this story. That's a tricky thing to do, but I
feel good about the way I did it.

Und Adam Baldwin bestätigte im offiziellen Forum, dass die Proben wundervoll waren und ab nächster Woche gefilmt wird. :bounce:

Macht euch ein großes rotes X in euren Kalender, Serenity startet am 22. April 2005!

Hier die komplette Nachricht von Joss Whedon über den ersten Drehtag (ohne Spoiler):

Browncoats -

Joss emailed me this to me and I wanted to post it IMMEDIATELY because BIG NEWS is contained within. What a day we had today! But enough from me now, here's a quote from our fearless leader:

"Hi guys. Just wanted to give you some news but guess what? I can't get on the site. I have trouble with passwords. So hopefully Chris B will forward this to you with his wily technical knowledgablosity.

Today was (as I think you know) the first day of filming of Serenity. Which is pretty big for me (it felt weird to START with Mal's death, but scheduling isn't my area). It was a blast. Sean said it was like school was back in session after summer vacation, which I have decided to take as a compliment. Gina did a happy dance (and there are few happier sights than Gina doing a happy dance). We're still flying. And the best part is, that's not even why I'm posting.

The real news, and you heard it here first, is that Universal has thrown down an official release date! So mark your calendars, Browncoats, 'cause if you're planning to get married on April 22nd 2005, you better change the date. Seriously. Who gets married in April? Just change it.

April 22nd. Exactly when I wanted to open, 'cause it's SOON. I can't wait for you all to see what we're putting together. It's a crazy-quilt of infotainment that like to call a 'film', and it just may be the best one ever made. Or one of the ones in the middle. Probably not the worst... I'm thinking middle. High middle. So buckle up and get ready for that patented Joss Whedon "high-middle" excitment. It's on its way.

I'm tired, and apparently I have to direct, like, EVERY scene, so I'm
crashing. Thanks again, all of you, for helping me home. It's good to be back.

-joss."

It was a shiny, shiny day!

Best,
Buchanan

Das mit Mals Tod halte ich aber für einen fiesen Scherz.

[Nager]

Das klingt wirklich shiny.
Es ist erfreulich, dass das Datum feststeht und gar nicht soo weit in der Zukunft liegt, wenn man bedenkt, dass die Dreharbeiten eben erst begonnen haben. Dennoch ist es latürnich eine ganz schöne Warterei.

Gina did a happy dance (and there are few happier sights than Gina doing a happy dance).

[greenslob]

Yippie! - Das klingt wirklich alles sehr gut - und schon so schnell...
(Nagut, der Film wird in DE wahrscheinlich nie einen Verleih bekommen )

[Farscape-Witz]

Gina did a happy dance (and there are few happier sights than Gina doing a happy dance).

Gut, dass sie mit dem Herumtanzen noch nicht so schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht hat, wie Claudia Black *g*

Da merkt man wieder wie viel Spaß die beim Dreh haben müssen

[Nager]

LOL, und du hast dir gleich einen Avatar daraus gebastelt.

Willkommen im Forum erstmal. Ich finde es mehr als erfreulich, dass es doch noch ein paar Leute zu geben scheint, die schon etwas von Firefly gesehen haben.

[TheQ3000]

Natürlich muss das gleich ein Avatar werden
Und danke fürs Willkommen heißen, war schon länger auf der Suche nach einem deutschen Forum in dem über Firefly diskutiert wird, bis ich wie der Mitgliedstitel so schön sagt, hier reingestolpert bin. Und da ich alle die anderen Serien, die hier ein Unterforum haben, auch noch gerne schau, hab ich mich glatt regestriert.

A little birdy told me that: "The studio is robustly enthusiastic!"

Brother, we begin some really gnarly action sequences on Monday which will last for three or so weeks. I think we wrap on the 24th.

The footage is amazing!

Summer Glau is a Big Damn Movie Star!!!

Just like Nate and the rest of his crew!

Serenity always,

A.B.

Posting von Joss Whedon auf der offiziellen Film-Site:

September 17, 2004 - Greetings from Joss
Well, sports fans, it's official. The movie is shot. Done. And I couldn't be happier to be through with it. No more of that exciting, vibrant set, that warm camaraderie, that creative stimulus, free donuts... Excuse me. I have something in my eye... free donuts...

Oh, there's things I'll miss. But there's definitely things I WON'T miss.
In no particular order:

1) Fillion. People who are prettier than me are not supposed to be funnier than me. I think it's a guild thing. And that whole 'gracious and professional' thing got old on day ONE, you know what I mean?

2) Cinematographer Jack Green. This guy lights stuff ALL THE TIME. Seriously, like eighty-three percent of the shots had light in them. He totally didn't get my "Just Like Radio" concept for the film.

3) The incessant meddling of the studio: where was it? We waited and waited, what, are they all too busy and important to take the time to ruin my little film? This is Hollywood, people. Learn our ways and customs while you're here. Sheesh.

Just a taste of the Hell I've been through. And being surrounded by beautiful women, and, let's face it, beautiful men, all of whom get along, work hard and play their characters with such ease and nuance it's clear they were born for the roles -- who needs that?

But no matter how much I suffer for my art, it's worth it. 'Cause come April 22nd I think we'll be bringing you an exciting film that's a powerful statement about the right to be free. Which is not as cool as my original statement about the right to tasty garlic mussels in a cilantro broth, but the freedom thing's okay too. The editing started this week, and after just a first cut I can safely say this will be the greatest film since whatever film comes out right before it. And I'm not backing down from that.

Thanks for your support. And I mean that more literally than people usually do -- Coming back from the Chicago Con and telling people there was a Serenity booth put up and run entirely by fans... you should have seen their faces. Hell, you should have seen mine. But not too close. And not before, like, 10:00 -- maybe 11:00 a.m. And maybe sort of from the side. The back-ish part of the side. You should have seen my hair.

Be well. Good things are coming.

Cilantro!

-joss.

[goodspeed]

Fein fein, dann kann es ja nicht mehr all zu lange dauern bis der erste Teaser vom Band läuft.
Dann wünsch ich mal Whedon gutes Gelingen in der Post Pro. Bin vorallem auf den Score von Carter Burwell gespannt. Hab grad erst gesehen dass er die Filmmusik zu "Serenity" macht.
