Just out of curiosity does any one know when Joss' Astonishing X-Men is coming out in the UK?

My opinion was that a true Western feel, like the one in the top-notch "The Unforgiven" would be great for our story. The cinematographer retained for Firefly: Serenity is the one who shot "Unforgiven". Now, if we could just get the set designer and costumer as well...

Others on the board at the time sort of, well, shat on my idea, saying they didn't want anything to change from the TV series. I then counterargued (as I reiterate in the present case) that it would be the same look and feel, only more so. Trust Joss to do it right, and faithful to our memories of the series; I certainly do. Prepare to be amazed next summer (Christmas time for initial trailers?).

Re-watching "Unforgiven" is pretty much a primer on the style of the underused art that is the modern western. I personally think the choice of DP for Serenity is pretty close to perfect as far as using someone who'll give the film the western "feel." As for those who might be upset because something changed from the series: the movie is bound to look different. There's no way we can have an exact replica of what we watched on television up on a movie screen. It would look completely out of place. But I wouldn't expect the look and feel to change too much; though we may have a new DP (and a darn amazing one at that), Mr. Whedon is still the director, and he still calls the shots ultimately. It's his vision that we'll eventually see.

You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like it's raining.
