Happy Birthday boss man!), you can get a fantastic deal on the "Done the Impossible" documentary DVD:

In celebration of Joss's Birthday we are offering our first ever sale on Done The Impossible.

If you order Done the Impossible between June 23 and June 30, and you will receive either 2 copies of the Done The Impossible DVD or one copy of the DVD and one copy of the CD Soundtrack, your choice (after you order, please email us your preference).

This is a great opportunity to help spread the Firefly joy by giving your free copy to a friend (or complete stranger!)

This is an incredible deal. Either option is great; get a two-for-one deal and spread the word to your buddies and neighbors, or get the amazing Done The Impossible soundtrack for free.

Done the Impossible is "the story of the rise and fall and rebirth of the cult TV show "Firefly," as told from the perspective of the fans who helped save it."

Full of interviews with the cast, crew, and fans, this documentary charts the rise of the browncoats that took Joss Whedon's creations far beyond a TV set or a movie theater. They set out to revive a show, and they created a community. Here's a partial list of what you'll see:dti_timeline.jpg

  • The Documentary (almost 90 minutes long),
  • Interactive Timeline
  • Trivia
  • 'Verse Dictionary
  • Commentary
  • 'What is Firefly?' – mini-doc

  • Interactive Viewing Experience DVD-ROM with:
    • Over six hours of extended VIP and fan interviews

    • Fan and VIP Biographies
    • Conversion stories
    • Live Transcript with links glossary terms
    • A Running Fan Count
    • All searchable, cross-indexed and obsessively interactive.

All this and a few surprises as well. This is a massive thing, the definitive look at Firefly fandom. If nothing else you have to get it to scan for your face… Hosted by Adam Baldwin, includes voiceovers by Jewel Staite.

A percentage of the DVD proceeds will be donated to Equality Now.

You can get it right now!

The reasons they listed at legaltorrents.com are basically "Copyright laws are too restrictive," and "someone's gonna do it anyway, might as well be us." The torrent contains the documentary, not all the tons of additional stuff, so this serves as more or less a huge ad for the actual DVD.

This PvP release is protected by a Creative Commons copyright so you can share it and edit it all you like, just please observe the license and don't rip 'em off. And please stop by donetheimpossible.com and pick up the DVD (that contains literally hours of extra stuff) and the soundtrack.

Download it here (torrent software required)
Or thanks to the ever lovely gossi, watch it streaming live online at serenitymovie.com .

This is a monster of a project, with hours and hours of stuff packed in (including my interview with Serenity graphic designer Geoff Mandel) and it's been eagerly awaited for nearly a year now.

Just posted on donetheimpossible.com: "And now for the news you probably been waiting for. A release date!…sort of. Barring any unforeseen tragedies, we will be shipping DVDs *BEFORE* Comic-Con on July 20th (yes this year… sheesh), probably sooner."

Woo hoo!

"In looking back at the news, it looks like we never formally announced that Adam Baldwin is hosting our DVD. So consider this the official announcement. We shot our hosting bits with him back in December, the day before Flanvention. He was so cool to work with. The consummate professional.

"Also, we'd like to announce that Jewel Staite has agreed to do the voice-over work for the various DVD and DVD-ROM features on the disc, including the Interactive Timeline. We will be recording the voice over work with her this week, just before she leaves to start filming her new movie."

The update also lists some of the stuf on the DVD, such as the 90-minute-long documentary, a cool interactive timeline, hours of footage of fans and VIPs, trivia, tons of printable guerilla marketing material, and a lot more.

Getting closer all the time, and you can still preorder the DVD for a great discount.
