"Whedon Praises Firefly DVD, from SciFi Wire"

Joss Whedon, who created the short-lived television series Firefly, told Cinescape magazine that he's thrilled with the quality of the upcoming DVD box set. "They really went to town on the DVD," Whedon told the magazine. "There are interviews, extras, a gag reel and commentary on more than half the episodes. I was really impressed. When they said they wanted to do it, I was surprised. Then they just did it proper. It's a really nice package."

Set almost 500 years in the future, Firefly follows the adventures of the ragtag crew aboard a transport spaceship named Serenity. The four-disk DVD set includes all 13 episodes of the series, eight of which feature commentary, deleted scenes from three episodes, three featurettes, a gag reel, Alan Tudyk's audition for the role of Wash and Whedon himself singing the theme song. A feature film based on the series is currently in development, with Whedon attached to direct. The DVD set will be released on Dec. 9.

Except that I get blasted with an ad for the "Andromeda" DVD. A nice article.

I am so psyched for the DVD set! I actually have it marked on the calender, and have it reserved at the local movie store. It is all the sweeter that my B-Day is 2 day before the release so I can give it to myself as a birthday present.
