September 29, 2004 — Director Joss Whedon spoke briefly to UK Sci-Fi Mag SFX about 'Serenity' - here are a few select questions and answers from the article:
Q: Have you stuck to your guns as regards no sound in space, or was there pressure from the studio to insert sound effects?
A: Well, it's not finished yet, but so far the studio has backed my every play.
Q: Why the name change from Firefly to Serenity?
A: It's what the movie is about. The fans will recognise it, and non-fans won't confuse it with a show they might have heard of. Everyone wins.
Q: How have you made the movie accessible to people who have never seen the show?
A: By telling the story from the start - not the same scenes, but the story from a new perspective.
Q: Can you reveal one line of dialogue from the movie that you really like?
A: 'We'll meet again, Spider-Man!' (Wait - which movie?)
Q: Why should no-one miss Serenity?
A: Because it's exciting, funny, scary, surprising, involving ad meaningful. At least, that's the plan. But even if I totally fail, the actors are brilliant and deeply pretty. Plus, hovercraft chase!
