I just got back from the LA Shrine Auditorium where Joss Whedon, Tim Minear, Ben Edlund, Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Morena Baccarin, Ron Glass, and Adam Baldwin spoke about Firefly. Oh, it was at the LA Comic book and Science Fiction Convention. Joss made no real annoucements, so I'm not going to be breaking any news here that hasn't been around in the different fan websites. First, I had the impression before attending, that Firefly, the movie, was a go. Joss said several times that though he's seriously working on making it happen, its not a done deal yet. The script is done and all he would say is that it's written with audiences who have never seen the show in mind. He also said that he didn't recycle any material for the movie, so there'd be a lot for us die hard fans. Especially things that explained many of the unanswered questions that were left when the show was canceled. Joss himself said, if he had known that he was writing a mini-series, he would have added a lot more closure.

Someone had asked what was the most difficult thing to do on the show, Tim Minear's answer was "Getting canceled." Everyone laughed, but as it turns out they were filming when he got the phone call. He told the cast and crew, and the very next scene was of the Serenity crew sitting around the dinner table laughing and cracking jokes. He said that was the most difficult thing he had done on the show.

I'll post a few of the pictures that I took. I'm sort of peeved at myself that I didn't take more...
