Herc hat mal wieder gepostet

“Firefly,” Joss Whedon’s widely adored but very cancelled Foxnet space Western, is coming to a DVD player near you -- and it’s coming in fabulous widescreen!
According to a never-steered-Herc-wrong-yet source close to the project:
No release date yet, but Fox Home Entertainment will be releasing. It sports the entire season, including the unaired eps, in 16:9 glory and, most likely, in the "correct" order. With lots of goodies.

Just a quick heads-up:
Die Folge "Trash" schwirrt als 1x13 im Netz herum.

Firefly Soaring To Theaters

Joss Whedon, best known for turning his unsuccessful feature film Buffy the Vampire Slayer into a popular television series, is adapting his short-lived television series Firefly into a feature film for Universal Pictures, according to The Hollywood Reporter. In addition to writing the screenplay, Whedon will also make his feature directorial debut with the project.

Set 500 years in the future, the action-adventure series centers around a crew of outlaws aboard the spaceship Serenity. According to the trade paper, the feature version will incorporate the mythology from the show but will take on a more epic feel. Whedon hopes to enlist the entire cast to come back for the feature, depending on their previous commitments, with new characters added as well.

Fox originally ran only 12 of the 15 episodes produced before canceling the series this season, but the unaired episodes will likely be included in an upcoming DVD release, due out in December. Production on the film is scheduled to begin in early 2004.

Na ja, The Hollywood Reporter ist nicht gerade die verläßlichste Quelle. Da hatte wohl jemand noch 2 Spalten frei und überlegte sich, wer nie etwas dagegen hat, wenn über ihn was geschrieben wird ...

'Firefly' to become movie

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- The short-lived TV series "Firefly" is moving to the big screen.

After taking his "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" feature film and turning it into a successful TV series, "Firefly" creator Joss Whedon is about to do the reverse with his Fox cult hit, which will be released theatrically by Universal Pictures.

In addition to adapting it for the big screen, Whedon will also make his feature directorial debut with the project. Plans are to see "Firefly" go into production in first-quarter 2004.

Universal recently acquired the rights to "Firefly" from 20th Century Fox Television, where Whedon's Mutant Enemy Inc. production company has a television deal.

The action-adventure series was set 500 years in the future and centered on a crew aboard a spaceship. The feature version will incorporate the mythology from the show but will take on a more epic feel. Whedon hopes to enlist the entire cast to come back for the feature, depending on their previous commitments, with new characters added as well.

"Ever since the show went off the air, our fan base has grown even more," said Mutant Enemy president Christopher Buchanan. "We've had tremendous outpouring from the U.S. and Canada as well as the U.K., which just finished a run of 'Firefly' over there. Every comic book and sci-fi convention has had a 'Firefly' presence since the show first aired."

For the series, which ran this past season, Whedon produced 15 hours of television, including a two-hour episode. Three shows never aired on Fox but will likely be featured on the series' DVD release, due out in December. Buchanan said fans created such a demand that DVD presales on Amazon.com sold out within 24 hours.

Whedon's feature film screenplay credits include "Titan A.E.," "Alien: Resurrection" and "Toy Story."

Also ich finde das Klasse!

'Firefly' Gets Its Feature Wings
By Brian Ford Sullivan


CHICAGO (thefutoncritic.com) -- Universal Pictures has greenlighted "Serenity," a feature film based on the short-lived FOX series "Firefly." The studio snagged the feature rights to "Firefly" from 20th Century Fox Television back in September (read the story).

Production on the project, budgeted in the mid-eight figures, is set to begin in June for a 2005 release date. Joss Whedon, the show's creator and executive producer, is on board to write and direct the project, which will see all nine original cast members - Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Morena Baccarin, Jewel Staite, Adam Baldwin, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, Ron Glass and Alan Tudyk - reprising their roles.

Whedon told Daily Variety the title shift is designed to give the franchise some distance from the TV version. "It was important that people understand that the movie isn't the series," he said. "The movie is bigger, more epic than anything you can do in a series." He also added he went out of his way to make sure the script was accessible to audiences who never tuned into "Firefly." "You're not going to bring people into a movie if you're explaining all the time what happened before," Whedon added.

Details about "Serenity" weren't released however Whedon specified the feature is set about six months after the TV show left off.

Barry Mendel ("Unbreakable," "The Sixth Sense"), Alissa Tager and Mutant Enemy's Chris Buchanan are executive producing the project in addition to Whedon.

Ach so spät erst. Ich hatte gehofft Ende diesen Jahres oder wenigsten zu Beginn des nächsten Jahres der Film rauskommen würde , aber wenn die Produktion erst mitte 2005 beginnnt, kann man damit auch rechnen das der Film erst mitte oder Ende 2006 rauskommt Bah!

[No_Cloning]

Ne, da steht grob übersetzt "Gedreht werden soll ab Juni, so dass der Film 2005 in die Kinos kommen kann". Sie halten also deinen Zeitplan ein.

[Selganor]

Und bis dahin kann man sich die Zeit mit der DVD-Sammlung verkuerzen...

Alle 14 Folgen so ziemlich am Stueck gesehen und noch immer begeistert...

OK, einige Folgen habe ich inzwischen mehrfach gesehen.

Ich hatte die Serie jetzt auch echt lange hier herumliegen und konnte mich nicht dazu aufraffen, sie mir anzusehen. Fragte mich auch schon, welcher Teufel mich geritten hatte, mir das überhaupt zu besorgen. Sci-Fi und Western. Reizt mich eigentlich beides nicht, und dann auch noch in der Kombination!?
Für den Piloten brauchte ich mehrere Anläufe. Aber mit Folge 2 oder 3 war das Interesse ganz klar da, und so habe ich alles in wenigen, sehr wenigen Tagen geschaut, samt Extras. Und ich warte wirklich sehr auf den Film
Ich finde an jedem einzelnen der 9 Charaktere etwas, mochte die Wiederkehr einiger Gesichter, von denen man dachte, sie seien Ein-Folgen-Fliegen und die Situationskomik, den Wortwitz.

Es bleiben ja viele Fragen offen ...
[spoiler]... und damit meine ich nicht die Liebesverwicklungen, das ist ja alles schon mal dagewesen. Will vielmehr Weiteres über die Hands of Blue-Männer erfahren und wer Book wirklich ist.[/spoiler]

Der Trailer ist da! Bin noch am Laden ...

Ich weiß nicht, ob ihr's mitbekommen habt, aber in LA sollte letztes Wochenende eine Firefly/Serenity Con stattfinden. Sie wurde aber einen Tag vor Beginn abgesagt - und die California Browncoats haben zusammen mit etlichen Schauspielern ein nettes Alternativprogramm auf die Beine gestellt. Ich glaube, nicht viele Schauspieler wären ohne Bezahlung und so spontan zu einem Event erschienen, zu dem sie ursprünglich nicht einmal eingeladen waren...
