IESB

We have been waiting for this film to debut for it seemed like eternity and now it finally has. Serenity held its premiere at the Universal City Walk in Los Angeles Thursday night and all the stars and plenty of fans were there to see it all happen!

Although I was unable to attend this premiere personally I could not let my readers down. I know after all of our coverage way back from the hype leading up to the filming of the movie, you guys were expecting complete coverage of its premiere. So I did my best and actually got some footage for you all to enjoy. Overkill? Nah :) Just want to make sure our Firefly and Serenity fans are happy. After all, there weren't any other true genre online sites covering this film and its premiere so I felt that you all deserved it.

Fans and Browncoats were aplenty! They were cheering for their favorite actors from the film and trying to do a Browncoat "wave" down the line, which was quite entertaining actually.

By the way, if the fans can generate 80 million worldwide total box office take then a sequel could quite possibly be in the works according to Producer Barry Mendel.

Synopsis: Joss Whedon- the Oscar®- and Emmy-nominated writer/director responsible for the worldwide television phenomena of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel-now applies his trademark compassion and wit to a small band of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future in his feature film directorial debut, Serenity. The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family - squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal. When Mal takes on two new passengers-a young doctor and his unstable, telepathic sister-he gets much more than he bargained for. The pair are fugitives from the coalition dominating the universe, who will stop at nothing to reclaim the girl. The crew that was once used to skimming the outskirts of the galaxy unnoticed find themselves caught between the unstoppable military force of the Universal Alliance and the horrific, cannibalistic fury of the Reavers, savages who roam the very edge of space. Hunted by vastly different enemies, they begin to discover that the greatest danger to them may be on board Serenity herself.
