Joss Whedon Interview
(Filed under: Movie News)
Check out a very interesting interview with Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, talking about his directorial debut, Serenity (based on the canceled TV series Firefly). He also talks about the process of writing a TV show or movie, and gets into his experiences writing for Toy Story, Speed, Alien Resurrection and X-Men.

While you're at it, check out the Serenity trailer (Spoiler warning: While trailer 1 is pretty sweet, I've heard trailer 2 gives a lot of the movie away). Serenity opens Sept. 30.
