Browncoats worldwide are organizing a number of special screenings of Serenity on June 23. Why that date? It’s the anniversary of the last of the pre-screenings last year, and it’s also creator Joss Whedon‘s birthday. To celebrate, most of the screenings plan to donate all proceeds to Joss’ favorite charity, Equality Now. If you’re near one of these screenings, please consider attending, and if not, hey, why not organize one? :)

“Serenity” Finally Breaks Even
Thanks to strong DVD sales and the TV broadcast rights, “Serenity” has moved from being in the red to actually making money! More details from Slice of SciFi. This makes it more likely for the ‘Verse to go on (in one form or another).
Whedon’Verse at MegaCon
We had an anonymous submission detailing the presence
of Whedon-type materials at MegaCon. The full press
release is below. (We don’t have a generic “Whedon”
category, so I put it under his latest work.)
Another Firefly revival effort
Damien
writes, Yet another revival effort for Firefly,
this time in the form of a company doing research to
see how viable it would be to do subscription DVDs,
etc. Worth checking out. http://www.fireflyseason2.com/
I’ve filled out the poll, asking for Direct-to-DVD
sales.
Firefly is back on, wait, is it?
Anonymous Coward writes, Sci Fi Wire has an
article up that seems
to suggest those of us happy to be stuck in the
Firefly ‘verse may get our wish to see more
movies. Whedon is such a tease.
Joss Says No More Firefly
When you slide that shiny new ‘Serenity’ DVD in your player tonight (or whenever it gets there), shed one last tear for the little transport that could (or, rather, couldn’t). Joss has said he’s leaving Firefly behind him to move on to other projects.
Serenity DVD Sneak Preview
Sci-Fi Wire got a sneak preview of one of the extended scenes from the upcoming release of Serenity on DVD. This clip features a little more Shepherd Book.
For those of you living under a rock, Serenity comes out December 20th.

Serenity Opens at Number 2
Apparently Firefly’s fanbase wasn’t enough to beat Jodie Foster’s star power this weekend. Remaining at #1, was “Flighplan” at $15 million. Coming up with $10.1 million was “Serenity.” That number was within the range predicted by Universal. Tim Burton’s stop-motion flick, “The Corpse Bride” came in just behind Joss’ labor of love with $9.8 million.
And for those of you who post on Slashdot, take note the the dollar sign goes BEFORE the number. Oy, didn’t we learn this in like second grade?
Movie Discussion – “Serenity”
The review was posted a while ago, after being submitted by Lurch Kimded. This is a forum to discuss the movie in a very spoiler-happy way.
