Serenity will screen at midnight on Saturday, June 23. Proceeds go to Equality Now, and the Coolidge will be accepting food for the Greater Boston Food Bank. Tickets are $10.
Joss Whedon fans will have chance to rejoice thanks to Coolidge Corner's midnight screening of Serenity, the full-length movie born after the 2002 cancellation of Whedon's short-lived but much-loved show "Firefly."
The screening is on Whedon's birthday and will benefit his charity of choice, but people who don't know Whedon from a hole in a wall will have a good time. Even if you never watched the Whedon-created cult shows "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" or "Firefly," Serenity has a surprising amount of dry humor combined with its nonstop action.
Nathan Fillion (Slither, Waitress) is the leader of a crew of space rebels who is none too thrilled to find a surprise on his ship. Chiwetel Ejiofor also stars as the bad guy who will stop at nothing to get his hands on that surprise.
