Universal Hosts Serenity Fans

Universal Studios Hollywood will host a Serenity Fan Fest on Sept. 24 for fans of the upcoming SF movie Serenity and its Fox TV predecessor series, Firefly. Fans will have the chance to meet the film's stars, special-effects team and writer/director Joss Whedon and view clips and behind-the-scenes footage from the film.

The Fan Fest will take place inside the Southern California theme park, with a cast question-and-answer session at 2 p.m. and an autograph session at 3:30 p.m. Cast members scheduled to appear include Summer Glau (River Tam), Adam Baldwin (Jayne Cobb), Morena Baccarin (Inara Serra) and Whedon. Movie props, including the 14-foot "Mule" hovercraft, will be on display.

The Serenity Fan Fest will be included in the general-admission price. A discount is available on the Web.

Serenity is being released by Universal Pictures on Sept. 20. Universal and the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park are owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.

That "Sept. 20." is a mistake - it should be 30.
