Question: How nervous are you about Serenity opening?

Joss Whedon: I'm actually pretty calm. I am being medicated right now, heavily, to keep me that way. I got really nervous when I realized ultimately I have no idea how this movie is going to do. I believe if people see it they will like it, but I have no idea if they will see it, and if they don't see it how can they like it? So I panicked and freaked out. Then I sort of realized it's out of my hands. I believe in the film. I loved making it. I loved what we came up with. I'm really proud of all of my actors so that's going to have to sustain me. Talk to me the morning of the 30th, I'll be hiding in the bathtub with a hat on.

Question: Do you have ideas for the sequels?

Joss: It's very sweet to mention the word sequel. Obviously that's the way my brain works, I continue to tell stories, I've written sequels in my head for movies other people made all the time. I had a great idea for The Fly II, before they made it. I never told anybody, but it was really cool. I love the Serenity universe and I love these people and would jump at the chance to do it again. It's a trilogy if you make two that are so good there's a third. That was the only way I could think about it. I had to not think about where it came from with the series or think about where it may go with a franchise. I had to make this one thing an experience worth having, the rest will either fall into place or it won't. Now that I've finished it and marketed it I think about it all the time, but I don't tell anybody that, except just now.

Question: Nathan, you're in a really disgusting science fiction movie called Slither. Can you talk about that?

Nathan Fillion: It's wonderful; I play an anti-hero, a role I'm comfortable with. He doesn't know what to do when the shit hits the fan. These are people who are blissfully unprepared for attacks and saving the world. There's some blowing up. There's some nasty, some slimy. There's a lot of prosthetics. We leaned away from the CGI and leaned towards the prosthetics as an homage to the horror movies of yesteryear. Our creator/director James Gunn said it will be the last time he does that.

Question: What do you the rest of you guys have coming up?

Adam Baldwin: I was on a show called "The Inside" that was cancelled, so back pounding the pavement. I play the younger, better looking brother of Ernest Borgnine in Poseidon. The character's name is Rogo.

Summer Glau: I just got back from Romania. I finished a film called Mammoth. It's a sci-fi comedy. It's going to be released on the Sci-Fi channel. But it's a really different character!

Sean Maher: I have an independent film coming out called Living to the End. And I just did "Ghost Whisperer". I'm a ghost. It was a lot of fun.

Jewel Staite: I did "Stargate Atlantis". I'm not sure if I'm going back, but other than that I want to do something completely opposite, maybe a romantic comedy. I'm open to be challenged.

Question: What would you have your character do in the future?

Jewel: I think Kaylee should have a baby!

Sean: We always talk about what new characters could come on…

Adam: I think we should meet Jayne's parents.

Question: Joss, can you talk about Wonder Woman at all?

Joss: Briefly, I'm writing it, having the time of my life, and no it's not cast.

Question: Will a sequel affect Wonder Woman at all?

Joss: That is a question I hope to have to answer.

Question: There is expectation that your two characters (Fillon & Baccarin) will hook up.

Nathan: Behind the scenes? Remember "Moonlighting"? If we ever hook up I hope it's on my death bed.

Morena Baccarin: You don't want to kiss me do you?

Nathan: I do, but not for the sake of the show.

Morena: Good answer. ~ Laremy Legel
