I still can't believe they cancelled "Firefly." It was smartly written, original, and featured a compelling group of actors. But even though the series wasn't given a chance by the network, it managed to earn an intensely loyal following in just a matter of months.

It's in large part do to those loyal - and vocal - "Firefly" fans that the movie "Serenity" was greenlit. And who knows, if the movie does well at the box office maybe the series will spring to life again - that is if "Firefly" creator Joss Whedon has the time and energy to devote to TV. It seems the writer/director has made a name for himself writing strong, kick a** female characters and now he's hard at work on his next feature film, a little project you might have heard of called "Wonder Woman."

One of Whedon's "Firefly"/"Serenity" stars, Summer Glau, showed up at the World Premiere of the Universal Pictures thriller, "The Skeleton Key." Glau's always a great interview and absolutely lights up when she talks about working with Joss Whedon and the "Serenity" cast (it's refreshing to interview someone so obviously passionate about her co-workers). Check out what Glau had to say about fan conventions, her favorite Joss Whedon moment, and "Wonder Woman:"
