chaniand it's getting on my nerves...Besides I didn't want to go to that wedding to begin with !
There's a link over atwhedonesque about tv shows that became movies. Serenity made the top 25 list but is only 20th. I think it should be much higher.
Actually I have seen a few film adaptions from tv shows and they were rarely good.
The Untouchables and The Fugitive are definitely good ones, but the others...usually crappy.
Aren't there any original scenarios over there that Hollywood needs to adapt successful tv shows (we can notice the same tendancy in French movies btw, with "Belphégor", "Les Chevaliers du Ciel", "Les Brigades du Tigre") besides doing re-makes of old/foreign films?
Or is it just laziness? Beware of the easy way !
Serenity is different because it's Joss' baby just like Firefly was.
Maybe I'm an odd duck, but without some good writing, I don't think you can make a good movie whatever the proven formula you may use, the terrific actors you may cast, the huge amount of money you may spend in special effects...
ETA: Joss won Nebula Award for Serenity script !
