Not really appropriate to this thread, but it was the first Firefly thread I found in the old topics.
I had the good fortune to meet Jewel Staite today at Dreamcon.
Wow. This woman is friendly, down to earth, funny, intelligent and clever.
Oh, and in person, she is abso-freakin-lutely *gorgeous*.
She was very tight lipped about the movie, making sure Joss wouldn't kick her butt over something she said. She did say that the whole cast was amazed at the extra money they're putting into sets and costumes.
Did I mention she's gorgeous?

Photos from the set of the movie were posted on fireflyfans:

Nothing too exciting, just most of the male cast posing in front of a fan-made banner. But they're shooting! Yay!
Here's a mssage from Joss after the first day of shooting:

The part that's hidden by spoiler tags is probably a joke, but view at your own risk.

"Hi guys. Just wanted to give you some news but guess what? I can't get on the site. I have trouble with passwords. So hopefully Chris B will forward this to you with his wily technical knowledgablosity.
Today was (as I think you know) the first day of filming of Serenity. Which is pretty big for me
It was a blast. Sean said it was like school was back in session after summer vacation, which I have decided to take as a compliment. Gina did a happy dance (and there are few happier sights than Gina doing a happy dance). We're still flying. And the best part is, that's not even why I'm posting.
The real news, and you heard it here first, is that Universal has thrown down an official release date! So mark your calendars, Browncoats, 'cause if you're planning to get married on April 22nd 2005, you better change the date. Seriously. Who gets married in April? Just change it.
April 22nd. Exactly when I wanted to open, 'cause it's SOON. I can't wait for you all to see what we're putting together. It's a crazy-quilt of infotainment that like to call a 'film', and it just may be the best one ever made. Or one of the ones in the middle. Probably not the worst... I'm thinking middle. High middle. So buckle up and get ready for that patented Joss Whedon "high-middle" excitment. It's on its way.
I'm tired, and apparently I have to direct, like, EVERY scene, so I'm crashing. Thanks again, all of you, for helping me home. It's good to be back.

OK, are you trying to get a set of Serenity steak knives or something? I've never seen anyone pimp a review* like this one.

It's a good review, though

No, no, no! ME ME ME!!!
That looks like a friendly thread ... not!
I have to admit, though, that the level of anticipation I have for this thing after Dragon*Con is building to unhealthy levels.

Keeping in mind that a lot of people may not have seen the review that might enjoy Firefly, I figure it's just one more way to help promote the movie by introducing folks to the series.
Regardless, I'm glad you finally signed up to review for the website. Viva El Presidente'!

I'm posting too! Me! ME! ME!
The movie thread does start off a bit hostile due to the previous movie thread being deleted, but that all goes away by page two.
