So the Firefly movie (titled Serenity) is coming out on Friday, September 30th. If you’re not familiar with the series, it’s about some pirates/smugglers/freighters in space, set up in a sort of space western style. That may sound weird to you, but forget about that.
The creator of the series, Joss Whedon (who is responsible for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and writing an X-Men comic, and who is incidentally my new master) says that this movie is perfect for people who haven’t seen the television series as well as those who already have. So I encourage everyone to check this thing out. I’m going to make an early prediction and say that this movie will be the one I’m talking about with my kids 20 years later. Serenity will be this generation’s Star Wars.
