In the October/November issue of Cinescape, FIREFLY creator Joss Whedon spoke to Anthony C. Ferrante about the upcoming box set of his short-lived sci-fi series and how much he thinks it kicks ass.

"They really went to town on the DVD," Whedon says in Cinescape. "There are interviews, extras, a gag reel and commentary on more than half the episodes. I was really impressed. When they said they wanted to do it, I was surprised. Then they just did it proper. It’s a really nice package."

Due out in stores December 9, FIREFLY - THE COMPLETE SERIES contains all 13 episodes ordered by Fox spread out over four DVDs. The set will also contain deleted scenes from three episodes, three featurettes, a gag reel, Alan Tudyk’s audition for the part of Wash and Joss Whedon himself crooning the show’s theme song.

Development continues at Universal on a FIREFLY feature film, with Whedon attached to direct the film, something he told the magazine about at the time of the interview. For more, pick up the latest ish of Cinescape now on sale.
