Firefly behind the scenes gags

Firefly

Out of commercial considerations, FOX disrupted the original broadcast sequence when playing "Firefly", which was also considered by many fans and media to be the direct cause of the show's premature death. However, the subsequent DVD release and the rebroadcast on the Science Channel followed the sequence originally envisaged by the crew.
Since FOX still held the naming rights for "Firefly" at the time, Jos Weyden was forced to choose the spaceship name "Serenity" as the title when he and Universal Pictures produced the film "Out of the Serenity".
"Firefly" was shot in a 16:9 widescreen format, and in order to get FOX to agree to broadcast in this format, Jos Weiden deliberately arranged the actors on both sides of the screen, and finally let FOX pass.
The special effects of "Firefly" moving spacecraft in space deliberately do not use shocking sound effects-there is no air in space without sound-which also makes the show more realistic than other sci-fi movies and television works. This style was designed by Zoic Studio, which is responsible for special effects, and they later continued this style when they created Battlestar Galactica.
In June 2007, astronaut Steven Swanson brought the DVDs of "Firefly" and "Out of the Tranquility" to the International Space Station.
In the original idea, there were only 5 protagonists in "Firefly", which was later increased to 9; Jos Weiden originally planned to let Rebecca Gerhardt play the role of Enola.
In the play, the role of Reeve is the first character with lines of its actor, Summer Grau. She has previously run the game in Joss Weiden’s "Angel", and the latter thinks she is very suitable for Reeve, so Give her the role directly.
Zac Efron, who played the role of the young Simon in the play, made his personal screen debut in "Firefly", which also paved the way for his famous work "High School Musical" after his appearance.
Neil Patrick Harris once participated in Simon’s audition, but was unsuccessful, but then he appeared in another work by Jos Weeden, "Doctor Terror's Singing Blog".
Jose Weiden intends to set the alliance (The Alliance, full name of Anglo-Sino Alliance) in the play into a new regime that integrates China and the United States. Therefore, Chinese or Chinese characters appear many times in the play, and the uniforms of the officers and soldiers It originated from the "tail goods" of "Star River Troops".
After learning that FOX decided to cut "Firefly", the majority of fans spontaneously held various petitions, placed advertisements in "Variety" magazine, sent postcards to UPN, and so on. Although it did not reverse the fate of the series’ abortion, it made FOX release a DVD, and the later movie "Out of the Serenity" came out at the request of these diehard fans. After the release of "Out of Serenity", fans who still sincerely set up "Serenity Day" on June 23, 2006. Many fans collectively bought "Firefly" and "Out of Serenity" on June 23, 2006. In the hope that the impressive sales volume will make Universal Pictures consider shooting and producing a sequel.
