Mutant Enemy President Chris Buchanan posted the following message on the Offical Firefly Forum to set the record straight on some of the news and rumors surrounding ’Serenity.’

Quote:

Hi Browncoats: I haven’t checked in lately because I’ve been far too busy on the BDM! Somehow, I think you all will forgive my absence... the movie is going to be shiny beyond belief.

That being said, word has reached me that somebody has been posting here and elsewhere, shall I say, dubious "facts" about SERENITY. I’d like to set the record straight on a couple of them:

(1) SERENITY. The movie will be shooting in bee-u-ti-ful Los Angeles and thereabouts. Sorry to all you folks in upstate NY and Vancouver. Did anyone think that Governor Ahnold would let such a valuable film franchise leave the state? I think not!

(2) FANMAIL. Please do not use any of our actors’ home addresses that may be posted somewhere on the WWW. While I understand that it’s well intentioned mail, it’s really not cool and I personally think it’s a invasion of privacy. Feel free to send mail to any of our actors at the ME address: P.O. Box 900, Beverly Hills, CA 90213 and we will get it to them. Really.

(3) ACTORS. All of our FIREFLY actors were invited to return for SERENITY, and we plan to have all of them in the movie, period. As has been noted elsewhere: deals, schedules and contracts take time and until the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed, it ain’t official. God may be in the details, but the Devil is clearly in the fine print. I’m optimistic that the full crew will be on board.

(4) Official Posting Board. I’m in discussions with the folks at Universal about the SERENITY site and board. No current time frame, but hopefully, we won’t have any downtime between here and there. BTW, STEVE, thanks for the movie folder. You are truly a Browncoat and a prince among moderators!

That’s all I want to set straight for now. If I killed all the rumors, speculation and potential spoilers on the OB, there would be nothing left to talk about except politics and religion. And God knows we don’t want to go there! ;)

Best, Buchanan
