Hey fellow Browncoats! We've got a full-on rundown of the Serenity junket, and it's a long one, so sit your weary bones down and dig in for a long read! Here's the first volley of interviews, with stars Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, and Morena Baccarin!
Q: So what was it like going back? Was it deja vu?
Nathan: Vindicating. What was it like for you?
Gina: Yeah...yeah, it was deja vu. I think we all have different stories about going onto the ship, and it was the same but it was different. And it was bigger in some places and smaller in others, and it went up in other places, but it was definitely...redemption is a word that Adam Baldwin likes to use.
Morena: It felt like we hadn't left, too. It was a little different, it was a little like coming into your living room and your mom rearranged all the furniture and things aren't where they were, but you're still home. And it felt like we picked up right where we left off.
Gina: Absolutely. And just seeing each other was great, although we never really stopped seeing each other...
Nathan: We never really stopped seeing each other, but y'know what was actually was good, was seeing the characters again. Seeing you guys in your outfits again, that was a real...that was something for me. [laughs]
Q: How long of a lapse was there between the show and the movie?
Morena: About a year and a half?
Gina: Yeah, almost two.
Q: Was there ever a point where you guys kinda gave up and felt like you would never be back on Serenity?
Gina: The day that we were cancelled! [laughs]
Nathan: Joss had that plan of finding another home, we'll find another home. And I said, 'That sounds great! It's a wonderful thing to say! It's really dead, isn't it?' [laughs] I wasn't prepared to fall in love with Firefly the way it did, and I wasn't prepared for Firefly to dump me the way it did. So I was pretty depressed, I was pretty sad about the whole thing. So I wasn't prepared to have that hope and say 'maybe...', I didn't wanna set myself up for another depression, and gain twenty pounds sitting in my house not going out at all...
Gina: Not that that happened!
Nathan: ...Right! [Laughs]
Q: Did you guys have to practice or work out to get back into the characters or get back into the mindset?
Morena: Well, I had a lot of sex...[laughs] I had to say it, there's a whore thing, now it's done and over with!
Nathan: [Was it hard] to get back into character? No, no. Certainly the TV series was a process cause we had time to learn the characters...
Gina: We had seven months of just learning each other, and falling in love, and falling into these people and getting to know each other. By the time we got back, these relationships were already established, and I know for me it was just getting into those damn pants...
Q: Are you all signed for another movie, or two movies?
Morena: Two more.
Nathan: [mock surprise] You are?
Gina: Next question!
Q: How was working with the two new cast members and working them into your family?
Nathan: Chiwetel was wonderful.
Gina: Didn't get to work with him! I had no contact with any of the new cast members...
Nathan: Yeah, he's good. And David Krumholtz we had, we didn't really get to hang out with him either. I got to hang out with him a little bit.
Q: What about Summer Glau? Was she fun on set?
Gina: We really all just wanted to take care of Summer, y'know, in our own way...[eyes Nathan Fillion]...and some ways are kind of illegal...and that's ok, we don't talk about that much...[laughs]
Nathan: Not in this state...
Gina: She's adorable, and she's sweet, and she just wanted soooo much to do a great job. How do you not support that?
Q: What is it that resonates with your fans about the story that your fans tap into?
Nathan: I think the same reason that I'm drawn to it, it's the people. These characters. I am invested. I've spent time with them, I've learned about them, I've hung out with them, I've learned about them through their choices, the decisions they make, and I am invested in these people. I like them, they're flawed, they're not all perfect (Except for Malcolm Reynolds), and I think people are invested, that's Joss' gift.
Morena: You can relate to something in each of the characters. I've been watching them recently [to Nathan and Gina], you guys were great by the way, and I think that what was drawing me to it again and again is that the stories are stories that you want to be told, they're not just relative to that universe, they symbolize something. I think that the style of Joss' writing is so grand and stylized, and it's sort of Shakespearean, these people's plights are extremely accessible, and I think that's what draws me in as a human being.
