Sci-Fi Storm

Serenity, the Firefly movie, will come out on DVD in Widescreen and Fullscreen versions on December 20th – just right for a stocking stuffer for your favorite Browncoat. This is a fairly fast turnaround for a DVD, but with only $25 million domestic receipts, they want to capitalize while its still fresh in people’s minds – and sometimes DVD sales far outweigh tickets…this release means Firefly deserves its own section in the Sci-Fi TV Store.

OK, I don’t know who would actually buy this – if you wanted them on DVD, you probably already have at least some of them – but if you don’t and you have $2500 (current Amazon price, subject to change) to spend, you can get all 5 series and all 10 Special Edition movies for one price!!! For less shock to your wallet, you can get the complete Enterprise series. Hmm…if just a couple people buy through my links, I can finally get this server upgraded…

The trailer for Peter Jackson’s King Kong his theaters tonight, attached to showings of Jarhead. The movie itself comes out December 14th.

For shame: The Season 8 Box Set of Stargate SG-1 came out last month, and I never realized it – my review supplier seems to have failed me there. Also, Season 1 of Stargate Atlantis is out on November 15th. In addition, the complete series of Nowhere Man will be out December 27th.

Michael Piller, who wrote and produced for Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager and co-created The Dead Zone, passed away early this morning at the age of 57 after a long battle with cancer.
