Serenity: Universal 100th Anniversary Edition

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Universal, they’re releasing a special edition of Serenity, an exclusive steelbook edition (Blu-Ray).

It’s available for pre-oder at Play.com and it looks… shiny!

Can’t stop the signal…

Beloved television cult director Joss Whedon (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel) makes a spectacular first foray onto the big screen with Serenity, the cinematic adaptation of his wildly popular but short-lived sci-fi series, Firefly. A mix of space western, comedy, and drama, Serenity follows captain Malcolm “Mal” Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) and his ragtag crew as they trade their way around the edges of civilized society. Of particular interest are two passengers they take on, Simon and River Tam (Sean Maher and Summer Glau), a brother and his telepathic sister on the run from the corrupt governing Alliance. As notorious former members of the anti-Alliance opposition, Mal and his crew make it difficult for Simon and River to stay hidden. Everything goes completely awry when a government assassin is sent to retrieve River. As Mal is forced to choose between his close-knit crew and the brother and sister newcomers, it becomes apparent that River harbors both a dangerous secret and astounding fighting powers, and Mal decides that discovering the truth about what she knows might just be worth his time.

Many of the film’s action sequences revolve around Summer Glau’s martial arts skills in her portrayal of River. Glau prepared for her role with Hong Kong stuntwoman Ming Lu, as well as stunt coordinators Chad Stahelski and Hiro Koda, and as a result performed nearly all the stuntwork herself. In addition to the stellar stunts, realistic graphics, and an often haunting score, the film’s actors display a rare chemistry that brings viewers both into their lives and into a possible version of humanity’s future.

I met Summer Glau yesterday, and that’s not even the most awesome thing that happened.
My darling man often volunteers at Dragon Con and works with the guests (you know, like Stan Lee). Each time he returns from his yearly Atlanta adventures, he has stories and autographed pictures (saying things like, “Thank you” and “You’re amazing”). Apparently the Battlestar Galactica cast gives good backrubs. He is an excellent handler. He makes sure everyone has all the food, water, and potty breaks they need. He is skilled at deflecting the creepy fans. He is, in short, fantastic, and Summer Glau asked for him personally for the Dallas Comic Con this year.
I discovered that the people who publish Gearhearts, Antarctic Press, would also be at the Dallas Comic Con. So I sent a few emails asking if they wanted some company at the table. They said yes and I had Saturday off, so I went. I hope I was an effective booth babe. I know I had a lot of fun, and Doug seemed to have a good time, too.

So I met Summer Glau. She is a wonderful human being, sweet and friendly even when she’s starving. I got to watch her with her fans, and she was all kindness and smiles. Also, she was delighted to meet me (apparently my sweetie talks about me a lot) and she told him I was beautiful. That made my forever. I managed not to squeal and faint, but it was hard. Also, she has an awesome sister. We shared pet pictures. Summer Glau thinks my cats are gorgeous and adorable (they are). Her sister has the cutest little mutt. He loves getting his picture taken, so he’s making eyes at the camera in all his photos. He’s a tawny color with perky ears and a playful doggy smile. Also, he looks great in puppy sweaters. Possibly he was a model or a dandy in a past life.

Here is the short video of Summer’s panel at the Dallas Comiccon. Summer talked about how she auditioned for the role as the Pink Power Ranker, her show Scent of the missing and that its still waiting to get picked up by TNT.
