Tee-Hee.

OOOH, a Browncoat that lives near me. I just live over in Renessalaer County around Averill Park. It is good to know there are Browncoats in the area other than my friends.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

Yah, I've done a fair bit of camping up in the 'Dacks (place called Big Eddy, near Wells, on the Sacandaga River). It is truly lovely country, and a nice space for more sylvan settings than we've seen in FF so far.

As for NYC, I was having many of the same thoughts about the expense, inconvenience, and sheer unmistakability of the City (much as I adore it [or at least have adored it; Bloomberg is doing his damndest to castrate it utterly!] ).

But I trust in Joss; if he's chosen the Big Apple (mind the griswalds!), then there must be a good reason which I very much look forward to see come to fruition (hey, that's a pun! How rare for me).

Keep Flyin'!

Well, Fireflymovie.com verifies NYC & upstate NY as filming locations:

I have to wonder where the crew is supposed to be as well that will appear as NYC. Could just be that some of the urban environs w/ suitable mocking up will pass for a futuristic city.

I also wonder why Joss & crew would choose NYC knowing it would be far more expensive to shoot there than any metropolitan area in Canada.

I wonder if they'll need extras? I looked through that casting call, and don't see a character for me!

I'm in Mass so New York is just a jog for me!

The NYC thing does make me scratch my head, too. I second that NYC always looks like NYC on film.

You know it just occured to me that they might use Chinatown as the back drop in NYC. Makes sense, and would emphasize the Mandarin influence in the Firefly 'verse.

I believe they will go through agencies or local newspapers to hire extras. Check it out ZikZak, perhaps you could be in the movie.

I mentioned upthread that they will be placing ads in local papers for extras and using agencies in the larger cities.

Yeah, same here. I'm doing my damnedest to convert some folks to the cause but it's just not the same. Looks like were gonna get pounded with snow pretty heavy on Wenesday.

Yay, another Missouri fan!!! It's so neat to "meet" someone close to home (I'm in Columbia).

Hey...HEY! Okay, first, very true, why not film in Missouri? Second...HEY!

(LOL, I hardly meet people on the 'net who are also from MO...and, well, I NEVER meet people from Mid-MO! I didn't think there were any other Browncoats in the Columbia-Fulton-Jeff City area aside from me and one other person.)

We are...Haven't been paying attention to the weather.

Well, we will wish for the snow as soon as summer comes around and it is 90 degrees. Damn New York weather. Colder than hell in the winter and then hotter than hell in the summer.

You're right, that does make sense -- but isn't there a just-as-large Chinatown in San Francisco? Or is it LA?

My knowledge of Californian sub-cities isn't exactly huge, clearly...
