From www.countingdown.com:

Jewel Staite told me that the Firefly feature film is now in its 3rd week of filming and that everything is going very well. While Ron Glass and Alan Tudyk almost had to drop out due to schedule conflicts, everything worked out to reunite the entire cast for the movie, expected to be released in April.

One's gotta wonder if this means considerably scaled back roles for Wash and Book. At least they're on board!

Wow, couldn't imagine Serenity without Wash and Book.

From the script review it says one character is taking a smaller role because of scheduling, with Ron being the last to come on board it wouldn't surprise me if it was him. Gorramit, I don't want anyone to have less screentime. Lets just hope we get a series after the trilogy to correct it!

I don't know... Joss said that Book's and Inara's stories were to be featured, so I'm betting ol' Wash is gonna be spending a lot of time off camera.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Just having them on board is enough. It's really enough. I DO so want dinosaurs, though. Little plastic ones, and wonderful Wash lines.

Yeah, having them on board-- as opposed to not-- IS pretty sweet, and we're super-super-glad to have them. Just the same, it would be SO much sweeter if they had the time to be Total Slaves to Joss's Vision. Oh well.

Remember, though, Tudyk's schedule HAS been getting tight as of late, with appearances in both "Dodgeball" and "I, Robot." The latter is a HUGE get, I'd imagine... the offers are pouring in for the guy, and will only increase in number, after 'Serenity' is released.

Go actors go, but 'Serenity' first!

I think it's safe to say Alan Tudyk is the actor who's charactor is the one with deminished screan time he is starring in the title role of "I Robot" a movie starring Will Smith after all.

Yes that's true, but "I, Robot" opens in a few weeks, and is surely done shooting by now... and "Serenity" only began shooting on June 3rd.

true, but alan may need to be doing press junkets for both dodgeball and i, robot which would definitely take him out of town probably.

Thank God for that!
If Alan and Rod (how familiar...) hadn't shown up, they might have used :shudder: stand-in actors. You know, in a series, a character may suddenly be completely different, as the exec's have hired a new actor.

Serenity would not have been without Alan & Ron. Joss himself said he would not do the movie if he could not have the entire cast.

I have to agree that I think it will be Alan w/ less screen time than the others. He is surely making the rounds to promote I, Robot & Dodgeball. There was also talk of his filming a movie w/ Tom Hanks son in Mexico.

When you think of it though, Wash never got much screen time on the episodes w/ the exception of War Stories & The Message.

"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."
