James Marsters (Spike) got in a bit of trouble, heh. He won an award called a "Spacey" from the Canadian Sci-Fi channel 'Space' (they had their own award show)... he had an acceptance speech and everything. Anyways, the award showed up on E-Bay. He claims it was stolen but... pffft, yeah right!

Somehow I doubt James Marsters needs to sell stuff on ebay for extra cash.
Georgia Whedon Fans:
Three of the big Firefly actors will be at the Atlanta DragonCon this weekend. Jewel Staite (Kaylee), Adam Baldwin (Jayne), and Nathan Fillion (Captain Malcom Reynolds) are all scheduled to appear. Principal photography on Serenity has wrapped, so they should have plenty to talk about at panels and such. Naturally, I'll be in attendance. I've already gotten Miss Staite's autograph on my Firefly DVDs, and I'm looking forward to adding signatures from the Hero of Canton and Caleb the Evil Preacher.
Julie Benz (Buffy/Angel's Darla) will also be there.
Definitely worth checking out if you are in or around Atlanta.

I'll never forgive the man for the atrocity that is the Alien Ressurection script. That story has some of the worst writing I could ever imagine.
So clever to name the computer "Father." So clever to make a mutant Alien that was white. What a waste of an oppurtunity.
Couple that script with a director known for kooky fantasy and you end up with an abomination. If I ever see Juenet I'm going to break his wide angle lens so he can never give us another goofy closeup.

Jeunet owns you, and he's also making the best movie of the year (A Very Long Engagement).

Joss has a good sense of humor about that at least, he pokes fun at himself in Angel Season 3 in "Fredless." Cordy and Fred's Mom are talking about how awful the 4th Alien movie's writing was.

Joss doing X3!?!?!
Romor from www.chud.com
About a month ago, Buffy the Vampire Slayer mastermind Joss Whedon publicly declared an interest in taking on the next X-Men movie now that Bryan Singer has traded mutants for a cape and a big "S". Was someone at Fox listening?
If the industry newscatcher Production Weekly is to be believed (and I'm told they're rarely wrong, if ever), ears were indeed open, and wise decisions were made. According to them, Whedon is onboard to direct X3, with the production gearing up in Vancouver next June.
Of course, there's currently no script, and to the best of my knowledge no major talent has actually signed for the movie (and we know Halle Berry has little interest in returning unless she's in the spotlight). But Whedon certainly has a handle on the characters judging by his excellent run on Marvel's Astonishing X-Men series, and we know from his remarkable television work that he can juggle multiple characters, so it probably wouldn't be too difficult for him to whip up a fine screenplay (especially considering he worked on the first film's script).
As a massive Whedon fan I know I'd be first in line to see it, but he's currently putting the finishing touches on Serenity, the feature follow-up to his space western series Firefly, so we'll see if he's got time for mutant mayhem.

Speaking of which, when's Buffy Season 7 coming out on DVD? I'm anxious as hell to get Angel Season 4, but I prefer watching each show episode-to-episode (done that for all seasons so far).
Ok i must know more about Firefly i just started to watch the show and it love it. I know there is a movie coming out for it. But is it just gonna tie up the end of Firefly or is it gonna be the launching pad for yet another season of Firefly or a new show in the same universe? I really would like to know as i'm enjoying this show more and more as i watch more episodes.

It's a movie that will start off where the show left off, but still be very introductory since so few people actually watched the show. I've seen a trailer for it (someone went to a convention and got a quite terrible handcam recording of it), and it looks good.
Where can I find the shaky-cam Serenity trailer?
I was at one of the Firefly panels at DragonCon, and they said that the film will take place about 8 months after the end of the tv series. And something has happened that has made Mal more brooding and serious (he was originally intended to be less funny, as in the pilot). Other than that I don't think they really revealed anything much....

It's actually hoped to be the launching pad for more movies. If it does well there are two sequels planned.
Ok i have now watched all of FireFly all i can say is why the fuck didnt this show get picked up sooner or get transfered from Universal to USA so that it could be brought to Sci-Fi Channel. Honestly you would think that with a healthy following of fans that in the least could help the show survive on Sci-Fi.
I'm pissed cause i know there were uncompleted episodes and i cried at the thought that the last episode would be the very last.
Excuse me while i continue to go and cry. And one thing i missed was the horror the Reavers brought to the show that made for some interesting tension. Ah well deffinatly worth the price and for a blind buy it was the best.

There's always the chance that the movie will get a big enough following that a network would be willing to bring the series back. I don't think it will be Fox though. Fireflys main problem with getting picked up in the first place is that it was an incredibly expensive show (I believe the pilot is still the most expensive TV show pilot ever) so a networkl ike Sci-Fi couldn't handle it in that form, neither could UPN or the WB. If Joss were able to figure out a way to tone down the cost, and the movie version performs well there's a possiblity some network will try to bring it back. The movie trailer is suppose to premiere in January according to some reports. A trailer of it was already shown at a Con recently but no one knows if that's going to be the one used for the theatres.
On a sidenote, it looks like UPN might've found their Buffy replacement, Veronica Mars:

I don't think the show has any Buffy writers on it, but from what i've read its suppose to be really good and witty. There aren't many new shows really worth watching this year so its worth checking it. It's going to premiere this Wednesday and then switch to its regular timeslot on Tuesdays.

Firefly kicks ass. There's some really good scripts in that aborted season.
Man, FOX just knows how to piss me off.

Mal is one of the coolest anti-heroes ever.

Nov 16th is coming up. I can't believe it's the last Buffy set. Then there's Angel S5 in Feb and it's all over. Even though I pretty much hate S7 and I still can't get over anya's death I am really hyped for the set.

Aw man, a Faith show would kick so much ass. What other Buffyverse characters would you want to see on such a spin off? As long as Andrew's there, I'm good...aintitcoolnews said:

I would say definitely Wesley but since hes dead...
As for a Faith spinoff I'd like to see: Faith, Andrew and Illyria as returning memberse and the other two can be completely new and added later on. They could start it with Faith showing up with some slayers to help Angel (Team Angel guest stars) and we go from there.
