Which actor do you think will hate you the most after this shoot?

If they don't all hate me equally, I'm doing something wrong.

How will you celebrate the final days shooting? Apart from sleeping.

Prayer. Contemplation, and possibly a violent crime spree.

How much sleep have you had since filming began?

Mother...? The lights are....Why are there mice?

...

What do you think about the show's cancellation now that it has enabled you to achieve one of your lifetime ambitions - to direct a movie?

I will always mourn the show. This movie may be a beautiful butterfly, but I loved that damn caterpillar.

Can you reveal one line of dialogue from the movie that you really like?

'We'll meet again, Spider-Man!' (Wait - which movie?)

Typical Joss.
The only thing that could be said to put me off this movie is that the cast had been replaced and Joss had nothing to do with the movie...
Now, THAT'S scary.

Thanks for posting the interview.

I would not be overly concerned w/ the Blue Sun plot line being dropped from the BDM. Odds are w/ having to retell the stories of how everyone gets onboard, filling in newbies on back story, Reavers, introducing the characters, and did I mention Reavers, there was no way to work Blue Sun and the Blue Hand Men into the BDM.

If all goes according to Joss's ingenious plan I am sure that we will see Blue Sun in the 2nd film.

Why do you associate the Blue Hands with Blue Sun? I always thought they were Alliance spooks. Not that I think the blue hands have to be in the movie, but just because the blue sun/alliance connection isn't discussed doesn't necessarily mean the blue hands are absent.

Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

I don't mind that the Blue Sun theme is not going to be explored in depth. One of the things I love about Firefly is that there are so many themes going on that are enjoyable. I'm sure Joss had a hard time slimming down all the threads but this movie has to be efficient and effective (introduce new people to a complex 'verse and hook them enough to get recommendations). The Blue Sun storyline is one that hasn't been developed as overtly as other lines. It was actually a theme that I totally did not pick up on when I watched Firefly on TV. It was only from listening to the commentary on the DVDs and going online and finding this site that I even became aware of all the Blue Sun references.

editted to add: And big thanks for posting this

There are three kinds of people: fighters, lovers, and screamers.

I believe the Blue Hands are definitely linked to Blue Sun. Certainly it is not a coincidence that the Blue Hands were blue gloves. Add to that the fact that they had no problem killing a room full of Alliance Feds to get to River simply because they talked to her.

I think that Blue Sun has some serious pull in the Alliance due to money & influence. For all we know they not only make drinks but could have weapons contracts (River?) w/ the Feds.

maybe he just merged blue sun and the alliance together to simplify it. so now the alliance altered River not blue sun working with the alliance

Blue Sun is never explicitly mentioned in the show either (That I can recall - closest I can think of is River slashing Jayne's Blue Sun shirt, but that's not exactly explicit). So it could be that they play it off as Alliance for now, then in later films (or a new show, if you believe in major miracles) it could be revealed that it's Blue Sun Corp that's pulling the strings.

There's sarcasm throughout the entire interview. Answering questions with questions and such too. He gives an awfully quirky interview, doesn't he?

Drillian... what you say sound right to me.

OK, if they don't have Blue Sun, we are still talking about one shiny movie. But if they don't have the TV theme?! It would break my heart. I loved that theme. Maybe the best I ever heard on TV.

A four and a half minute 'one-er'

Wow. I know Joss likes doing shots in one take whenever possible, but that's going to be amazing. You have to wonder how many times the cast had to do it over if someone screwed up.
