Firefly: Ten years on, where are they now?
Can you believe it’s been ten years since Joss Whedon’s seminal and criminally short-lived TV series, ‘Firefly’, hit screens? It seems incredible to me that a show of this quality and scope didn’t get renewed—but then, what do I know about the ins and outs of television production? Actually, I know enough to understand that shows like Firefly are a rare breed. We live in a world where garbage like ‘Two and a Half Men’ is given the royal treatment—and...
Cowboy Ninja Viking Movie Is Coming - Marc Forster Will Direct
The director of 'Quantum of Solace', Marc Forster, is set to direct the ultimate mashup movie. Cowboys and Aliens? Pfffft. That’s, like, SO last year. SO binary. SO, ultimately, sucky. Now we have a new genre mash-up on the horizon that’s taken the concept to new levels – into trinary territory (trinary, that’s, like, one more than binary… what I’m saying is that instead of there just being two genres mashed together, there’s three… just keep reading.) Yes, Universal has recently acquired...
Watch The Aussie Steam Punk Film 'Aurora' in Full
Who says we can't make Sci Fi in Australia? Not Urtext Film productions, that's for sure! If you haven't been perspicacious enough to read the Sci Fi Channel Australia Online Forums, then you may not have stumbled across 'Aurora', an incredible Steam Punk Adventure that proves that all you need is a handful of rivets and a decent script and you can make Sci Fi in Australia. Well, that and the following. Directed by Chris Kellet, Aurora was made over three and a half years, and cost a 'massive'...
Cowboys & Aliens Review: Good, As Expected
Starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde Director Jon Favreau Rated M Released August 18 Cowboys & Aliens has by far the best title of any film this year. When it comes to piquing the nerd interest, well, there's just no contest. When you add the director of Iron Man to the mix, and then James Bond and then… Han Solo/Indiana Jones and then… Olivia Wilde (Quorra from TRON: Legacy) you have a perfect storm of nerdsquee that isn't going to go away any time soon. So, after all that...

Jon Favreau Interviews Harrison Ford For Cowboys & Aliens
Jon Favreau created a nerdnami this week by publishing seven interviews with Harrison Ford on YouTube. The subject was Cowboys & Aliens, but the style of interview was rather informal, revealing more of Ford than you'll usually see in his more traditional media interviews. There's some cool stuff in there for Star Wars fans, too. Here's what Favreau has to say about working on Cowboys & Aliens, and interviewing Harrison Ford (with more to come) about the film: "I still can't believe...
Tom Felton and Firefly Crewmembers Head Supanova Lineup
Supanova is coming to Sydney and Perth at the end of June! SYDNEY June 17-19 - PERTH June 24-26 The most recent addition to the stellar celebrity line-up is the return to Supanova of Tom Felton, Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series. It's a huge coup given the proximity of his appearance to the July 7th worldwide premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in London, and the national release in Australia of July 13th. Yes. Tom Felton will be a jetsetting ping pong, no doubt...
Joss Whedon Says Serenity Was Firefly Season 2
Earlier today we sat in the southernmost sail of the Sydney Opera House and had a quick chat with Mr Joss Whedon. Australian fans, he says "hi". In a brief video interview (to be aired on SCI FI) Joss discussed the finer points of Buffy, Angel and Firefly. We did also ask him about The Avengers. At the moment, with his trip to Australia and being caught up between a bout of insomnia and jetlag, he's using hotel rooms and aeroplanes as the perfect writing platform. We asked him about whether...
Firefly Q & A With Tim Minear and Jane Espenson
Firefly remains something beyond a cult show to its fans. Browncoats see Joss Whedon's mix of 'space' and 'cow' as one of the few brief moments where the human imagination was allowed to soar on TV. Cruelly cancelled after less than a season, it still pops up whenever a true Sci Fi geek is asked about their top Sci Fi shows of all time. At the recent Serenity Con in Los Angeles (yes, they have Serenity Cons) Writer Jane Espenson and the showrunner, Tim Minear, sat down and had a good old chat...
