Science Fiction Weekly has an interview with Joss Whedon and the cast. Pretty cool stuff. Excerpt:

In the film you answer question that the series raised, like the Reavers and River. Were those the answers we were going to get if the TV show had lived?

Whedon: Very little has changed for the movie. Obviously, things were dropped, and ... most importantly, things were distilled into a fine two-hour liqueur instead of a more watered-down longer version. ... That was where I was going with the idea of River and her secret and the Reavers and theirs and how it all connected. I had planned to get there in a couple of years instead of a couple of hours. But apart from ... not being able to service all the subplots with all those different people, that is exactly where I was going with it. ... That was the easy part of structuring it and pitching it. This is where this series was building to, and I think if you took this as a separate story, it is an epic story and it has a great deal of meaning for today.
...
How much did you guys have to practice or work out to get back into the characters and get back into the mind space you were in?

Baccarin: Well, I had a lot of sex.

Torres: God bless you.

Baccarin: I had to say it. It had to be [said]. There's the whore thing. Now it's done and over with.
...
Are you all signed for another movie or two more?

Baccarin: Two more.

Torres: Two more.

Fillion: You are? This is awkward.

There's a whole lot more. Go check it, if you're so inclined.
