We have completed the first two weeks of filming, and with that, all the exterior shots for Serenity. No more will cast and crew have to lug equipment and themselves out to the far reaches of the desert to battle the sun, dust, smoke, or the tiny little noseeums that seem impervious to bugspray and all too eager to feast upon our flesh. Happily, we all must report to work on Monday to the stages of Universal City, where we shall face new challenges like finding our own lunches and saying something clever to passing tour trams.
Perhaps due to those minor hardships, and the amount of adventures that are crammed into one day, it seems forever ago that we started rehearsals. Yet there is a long way to go. It is a far cry from filming the series, evident in watching the previous day's work in the extreme luxury of the daily trailer. The huge screen at the end of this monstrosity entertains us with images of my favorite cast being BDH's. It is going to be a real charge the first time we get to see River going "koo koo" when her face is 17' high.
My heart now looks forward to the first time I see Serenity again. My only contact with her since I watched them pulling apart her last remnants at the Fox lot has been the cargo bay doors, with us on location. It will warm my cockles to see her reborn, courtesy of the creative minds of Universal. This will not be an exact duplicate, folks. Learn to love it. Be comfortable with the idea of getting to know her all over again, and falling in love all over again. For she is our home now.
Let's go home.

He sure does talk pretty. Yay!!! We're going home!! :biggin:
I'm so stoked!!! I don't care if little details change, but I'm glad he said something about that so that folks can start to set more realistic expectations. I know from the other threads that there are worries about too many changes. Yeah, they can tweak costumes, change the ship design a little, etc. But it's still our crew and our 'verse.
Of course, if they were to do something horrifically stupid like hide Jayne's biceps under long sleeves the whole movie, then I may find myself having a small fit.

Passing tourist trams?
Can I be on a passing tourist tram?
If I fly in from the UK I must surely be a tourist...
I NEED a holiday.

My only concern about a 'tweaked' serenity is the loss of Kaylee's handiwork in the kitchen (I love those painted vines everywhere), on the door to her bunk and that little hammock in the drive room.
Oh, and of course Wash's three switches.
If any of those are missing It'll break my heart.
Still watch the movie till the film wears out but it'll be with a sad little empty space. 
Hehe... and before i forget, I Love this man, not in a sly way 
but any person who is that dedicated to a job... and to the people who enjoy what he does in that job... Is worthy of more then a little love 
for the Cap'n

Seeing how Kaylee's handiwork is in many ways integral to both her and the ship, I can't see them not being there.

Evidently the studio lots are at the outskirts of the Disneyland property in Anaheim, Calif...
there are some kind of people mover/trams that go by and the tourist get to catch a glimpse of whatever is being shot that day (I would love to go there myself!)
