All Shall Love Me and Despair

If you're interested in more pics from the recent charity performance of Ian McKellen, with the support of most of the main Hobbit cast, go here: McKellen and friends at the Opera House


For those wanting to join TORn for their Hobbit premiere tour: TORn’s own tour to New Zealand for “The Hobbit” premiere is now open for business, and also read this Quick update to the TORn Hobbit Premiere story


Primary filming for The Hobbit is nearly done?


Aaaand last but very much not least - lucky those who get to go to SD Comic Con! Obviously TORn will be there - The Comic con blitz from TORn has begun - but also some very familiar (or soon to be so) faces: ‘Hobbit’ lineup announced for Comic-Con includes Jackson, McKellen, Serkis, Armitage, Freeman, Boyens!!!
And if that's not enough reason to envy SDCC goers, this Hobbit-unrelated announcement will do it - certainly for fellow Browncoats: Entire Firefly Cast Will Reunite At Comic-Con For The Show’s 10-Year Anniversary. "The cast of FIREFLY will talk about the past, present and future of FIREFLY, 10 years after its debut. " Um, FUTURE?! I mean, there have been comics, but... could it be, after Joss' success with Avengers?! I don't dare hope...

Fans Launch "Help Nathan Fillion Buy 'Firefly'" Movement

Last week there was a brief furor over the Internet when Nathan Fillion did an interview with Entertainment Weekly--prompted by The Science Channel acquiring the rights to air Firefly on cable again--in which he reminisced on playing Malcolm Reynolds. Further, the Castle star said, "If I got $300 million from the California Lottery, the first thing I would do is buy the rights to Firefly, make it my own, and distribute it on the Internet."

Now, some especially fervent Browncoats are taking Fillion at his word and amassing support in the Help Nathan Buy Firefly campaign. [...]


More info at the link. Oh, and of course Sean Maher is among those who'd come back if Nathan were to succeed! :D

How come no one has mentioned this, huh?! ;) (Be sure to go to the Dark Horse MySpace and actually read it.) And there will be a new print comic at the end of the year too, whee! Sounds like we may finally find out a little more about Shepherd Book's past?

You can read an excerpt from chapter one of "Shadow's Return" at randomhouse.com! Aaaaaaaaargh - still 14 days to go until release...

Speaking of - samena, did you see this entry by Lynn (which has its roots in the comments of this entry)? Street of Lights indeed! Still not quite how I imagine Seregil, but not bad. ;D

*prays to the Postal Gods to deliver her copy of SR as quickly as possible*

*while she's at it, prays for her copy of "Serenity: Better Days" #3 to finally arrive*

*sips tea, listens to her new "Meditative State" playlist*



The Stingray DVDs will be delayed, but at least Amazon is finally listing them. :) And the cover art looks pretty cool. :D



Two items for serenitysangel - Sideshow posted more pictures of their Legolas bust. And Orlando has a new project:

Bloom, Molina, Hawkins join 'Education'
Scherfig pic shoots in London

By ARCHIE THOMAS
Orlando Bloom, Alfred Molina and Sally Hawkins, who won a Silver Bear in Berlin for “Happy-Go-Lucky,” have joined the cast of Lone Scherfig’s “An Education,” a coming-of-ager set in 1960s London.

A preview of the first five pages of the "Serenity: Better Days" comic issue #1 is available at wizarduniverse.com. Featuring Simon! As does (is?) the cover of issue #3! \o/ Interestingly, they haven't revealed cover #2 yet - I'm curious to find out why. Can't wait for my copy of issue #1 to arrive sometime around/after mid March - and then of course it'll be a wait of 1 month between it and #2, and #2 and number 3... :)



Anyway, night night my dears, sweet dreams to you all!

So here are this year's Virtual Christmas Cards! I hope you're all having Happy Holidays! *hugs flist*

greenie_breizh has posted her photos from Creation's Serenity Salute convention last weekend in LA at her photo LJ, holdlifestill. Guests were Nathan Fillion, Sean Maher, Alan Tudyk, Summer Glau, Morena Baccarin and Yan Feldman, and the pictures came out great! Don't miss the links to her full Photobucket galleries at the end of each entry. :D

I'm back! Had a lovely, relaxing time this past week and will post more when I'm coherent again. I got back after midnight yesterday instead of 23:00 because my flight was delayed, and then had to get some stuff together for work this morning which meant I wasn't able to go to bed until after 1am after a day spent mostly travelling. I just had a hot bath and may well just go crash in a moment. TGIF!

I'm afraid many entries which I wanted to comment on will remain commentless... I had them all nicely opened in separate tabs - must have been more than a dozen - but of course IE just had to crash. And there's no way I'll go back through skip=500 or however many it was, terribly sorry. I do remember some entries (don't sigh in relief yet, kneonlight! *cackle*) and will comment on them... but not tonight.


On a totally different topic: I certainly won't be getting this cheaply priced little trinket, no matter how much I like Mara Jade! However, this... Yay Timothy Zahn! And oh bugger, I guess I'll have to get this! ;)

Anyway... night night, and I'll speak to you tomorrow! *crawls to bed*

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! I just stumbled across this article - and I had seen Serenity in Disguise and the three PVC figures (and apparently there's more stuff to come, yay!), but I didn't know there was another comic series in the making! OMG SO SHINY!!!!!!!!!! *bounce bounce bounce*

Hey serenitysangel, I got Mal too - though it could just as well have been Kaylee, I had 60% for them both. And they're closely followed by Simon. :D

Your results:
You are Malcolm Reynolds (Captain)

Malcolm Reynolds (Captain) 60% Kaylee Frye (Ship Mechanic) 60% Dr. Simon Tam (Ship Medic) 50% Derrial Book (Shepherd) 50% Zoe Washburne (Second-in-command) 45% River (Stowaway) 45% Alliance 40% Wash (Ship Pilot) 35% Inara Serra (Companion) 35% Jayne Cobb (Mercenary) 25% A Reaver (Cannibal) 15%
