Watch Serenity and help a good cause

by RickMacMerc (Site News)

Hey Spoiler fans! We got an interesting note in the mailbag today (much from which I will be copying and pasting right here) about some special theatrical screenings of Serenity across 6 countries in the next few days. Fellow fans are relaunching the movie to theatres to benefit Equality Now (a gender equality charity) and other charities. Which is a move, by the way, has never happened before in the history of cinema.

One theatre has already screened the movie -- in Ann Arbor -- and made over $1600. 46 more theatres are to follow within the next week worldwide.

To view Serenity writer/director Joss Whedon talking about Equality Now, check out this video. If you can't make a screening and want to donate, check out the following address, under the header "MAKE A CONTRIBUTION"
