That Serenity panel in full. Comic Book Resources has extenstive coverage of what was said by Joss and the cast at Comic-Con (brief mention of a scene that was shown in the trailer).

I really hope, someone did tape it again, like last year, and upload the video soon.
Cause if I already laughed out loud, and really enjoyed reading the report, imagine what it'll be like watching it.

And Adam Baldwin as Wonder Woman? Perfect casting. LOL.

I was also there at Comic-Con, way in the back, but it was a great panel. This movie has the potential of being the next sci-fi franchise.
And wasn't Summer cute when she got a lot of applause from her role in the scene that was shown? September 30th can't come too soon

impalergeneral | July 19, 15:03 CET

Best comment here was Joss' "Sequel". Now that's the positive thinking I want to hear.

Madhatter | July 19, 15:36 CET

Sounds like a grand time by all...the way this buzz is building, I think impalergeneral may be right about the potential of this becoming the next big sci-fi breakthrough...I was at the pre-screenings in DC, and still can't wait for September 30...I will be there opening night and will dragoon as many people as possible into the theater...and will do the same at least a few more times...

Chris inVirginia | July 19, 18:07 CET

That was a fun read. Wish I'd been there.

nixygirl | July 19, 19:08 CET

We have it on tape(a bit shaky in places due to hubby's big man hands not being able to handle our petite camera) and hopefully I can get Ed to upload it somewhere soon! But it's a big file, so we'll see....

Oh, and you'll probably hear Ed and I sniping at each other, so that's always fun! :)

Rogue Slayer | July 19, 19:48 CET

Rogue Slayer, that would be great if you and Ed could do so. You two kids are the best :)

Madhatter | July 19, 20:16 CET

"Seriously ... for those of you who haven't seen the movie, I have good news," Fillion continued. "I just saved a bunch of money on car insurance!"

Bwahaha!

Whedon closed out by saying, "When you write a character and somebody plays them for a number of years, you find the actor and the character start to mesh. Willow gots sexier, Giles got hipper, it bleeds in. You start to draw from them when you're writing the character. That happened so fast and so completely that I never think about the characters, I think about the actors and the things they're doing to play the characters. They do not exist without these people. Malcolm Reynolds walks and talks, I know him and I've met him. I was amazed by it. This is a crew, this is a family, and they will always be that way. one of the reasons that I could not let this die is not because I thought they were good to play these parts, it's because they were born to play these parts."

Wow. Now I'm all verklempt.

electricspacegirl | July 19, 22:10 CET

RS, if hosting the file is a problem, I've got more than enough space.

pjalne | July 19, 22:23 CET

Movies are coming up... Any way that they are not pixely messes makes them rather big so I'm dividing them up in segments of 8 minutes.

By the way, Simon, I also have David Boreanaz' panel in vid segments, if anyone wants to see them. Where would be a place to post those?

EdDantes | July 19, 23:09 CET

Did anyone see Nick Brendon and Kelly Donovan at the con?

chickenbird | July 19, 23:10 CET

EdDantes or anyone else :), if someone would care to post this link then you could put a link to your David vid sigments in one of the comments. I would post the link myself but for some reason I can't view the RealPlayer clip on my laptop. Others should be able to view it.

Simon | July 19, 23:15 CET

Did anyone see Nick Brendon and Kelly Donovan at the con?

Nope. Joss-verse attendees were:

The Serenity Cast, minus Alan Tudyk

Charisma Carpenter, on the Veronica Mars panel.

David B, on the Bones panel (I missed that one).

Amber Benson (I missed her too, dammit)
Julie Benz, was off signing somewhere.
Mercedes McNab was supposed to be there but apparently wasn't.

I don't think I've missed anyone.

sTalking_Goat | July 20, 01:03 CET

Alright, here are the first two segments of the Serenity Panel. Apologies for the shakiness. The first segment is probably the messiest. I accidentally take a picture, which freezes the image for 2 secs, but don't worry, the rest is fine. I know I am a moron. My wife already informed me....;-)

Serenity Panel 1 - 8:09 m / 58.4 Meg

Serenity Panel 2 - 8:16 m / 59.5 Meg

More on the way....Any problems, let me know.

Oh and I didn't see them but according to the guide, both Nick and Kelly were there. And Iyari Limon. Maybe they canceled?

EdDantes | July 20, 01:21 CET

Here's some more...

Serenity Panel 3 - 8:42 / 62.7 Meg

Serenity Panel 4 - 8:42 / 62.6 Meg

EdDantes | July 20, 02:13 CET

And the last one...

Serenity Panel 5 - 6:06 / 44Meg

EdDantes | July 20, 02:42 CET

EdDantes and Rogue Slayer, thanks so much for taping and posting. S'wonderful stuff, and the women all look fabulous. Is it possible to be in love with four women at the same time?

jaynelovesvera | July 20, 04:58 CET

Thanks a lot Ed and RS, not watching it all yet, but what I have is excellent. Almost a substitute for not being there.

Paul_Rocks | July 20, 05:03 CET

You're welcome, hehe. Btw, did you get the part where Joss forgot to introduce Jewel and she was still waiting backstage? Funny stuff....especially the look she gives him when she comes out and he's at her feet, begging forgiveness;-)

EdDantes | July 20, 06:21 CET

Yeah, watched it all now. Brilliant. I thought when reading about it that maybe Joss had "forgotten" Jewel on purpose but it would appear that he did genuinely forget her.
Just a shame that it was so short. I'm normally much more of a fan of the writers than the actual cast and aren't that interested in haering them talk but every time I see Nathan in something like this he's hilarious and (if you remove any of my need to meet extremely attractive ladies) I think he's the actor I'd like to spend time with the most :)

Paul_Rocks | July 20, 06:28 CET

EdDantes and Rogue Slayer, thank you so much for the links. They were great:)

Madhatter | July 20, 07:33 CET

I want to add my thanks to EdDantes & Rogue Slayer, I really loved being able to watch the downloads; even though I had read it, I got so much more by getting to see the expressions on their faces and the tone of their voices. They are always so funny and wonderful, I only wish that the Q&A panels were much longer!

embers | July 20, 08:18 CET

Nick was there...signing autographs in the autograph area on Saturday right after the Serenity panel. I didn't see Kelly. Nick was signing autographs with the girl who played Alona (Gunn's sister) on "Angel." Also present were Adam Busch (@ the Inkworks booth), Camden Toy, George Hertzberg, James Leary (I think) (all at the Diamond Toys booth where Ron and Adam signed). I read that Iyari Limon was signing for another film, but I didn't go looking for her.

And thank you so much to EdDantes and RogueSlayer for the videos!

einral | July 20, 08:42 CET

Everyone's very welcome. Additional apologies for my shakiness. Next time maybe we should have a stand or something.

every time I see Nathan in something like this he's hilarious and (if you remove any of my need to meet extremely attractive ladies) I think he's the actor I'd like to spend time with the most :)

I know exactly what you mean. The ladies are all breathtaking and great, but if I could pick one to have a drink with and spend an evening gabbing with it would really be Nathan. In internet speak, he 'rools';-)

I only wish that the Q&A panels were much longer!

Yeah so did we! And judging by the little joke at Nathan and his surprise at the 'this is the last question' bit, so did Joss!

Also present were Adam Busch (@ the Inkworks booth), Camden Toy, George Hertzberg, James Leary (I think) (all at the Diamond Toys booth where Ron and Adam signed). I read that Iyari Limon was signing for another film, but I didn't go looking for her.

Yeahh, James Leary, we saw his name too. We didn't get to see him though, but we saw him last year. Didn't know about Adam, Camden or George. And wasn't Amber signing too? I know she did two panels.

EdDantes | July 20, 09:14 CET

I have trouble downloading large files from yousendit. I'm on dial up and they always freeze up on me. These files were no exception. :(
