Always thanks to Summer Glau Wiki I’ve added some old scans from SFX feat. Summer together with Nathan and Morena. Good old days! I miss Firefly so much!

Magazine Scans > SFX – 2005 [+6]

The news have been also confirmed by Ausiello and TvGuide she’s supposed to appear in episode 16 of season 8.

And the names just keep on coming for Joe Lynch’s upcoming horror/comedy/thriller Knights of Badassdom, and when we think badass chick, this latest addition more than fits the bill!

According to website Bleeding Cool Summer Glau has just signed up to join the previously announced Peter Dinklage, Ryan Kwanten, Steve Zahn, and Danny Pudi in the flick, which follows the exploits of a group of LARPers (Live Action Role Players) who accidentally release a big badass demon.

Spectral Motion, who created creatures and mutants for the Hellboy and X-Men franchises, will be handling the special effects duty so expect a lot from the plethora of demonic minions that are set to be unleashed.

Lynch will be shooting from a script penned by Kevin Dreyfuss and Matt Wall. Knights of Badassdom begins filming this July in Spokane, Washington.

I’ll be spending some quality time with a few dozen of your favorite NBC stars tomorrow morning (complete list below), so send me your burning questions ASAP to ausielloscoop@ew.com. All I ask is that you put “NBC upfront Q” in the subject line.

NBC is going to look very different next season. The network has added another single-cam comedy to the pile: “Friends With Benefits” from 20th TV and Imagine and has given a series order to superhero drama “The Cape.”

THR: You air your genre shows on Mondays. Do you think that will continue next season with “Event”?

Bromstad: We have another genre piece in contention, and we have “Chuck.” We’re going to hash out the schedule over the next week.

THR: The other genre show you’re referring to is “The Cape.” I heard that came in strong, too.

Bromstad: It looks fantastic. We just saw it with special effects today. It’s closed-ended, and the hero catches the bad guy every week. Decisions are still outstanding, though, because we haven’t gotten back our testing yet.

Summer Glau probably had no idea at the time but a 2002 guest spot on “Angel” was about to ignite her career in the most magical way. Drawn to the allure she always exudes on screen, Joss Whedon crafted a role in his next series with Summer in mind. That show was “Firefly,” the character was River Tam and the rest is history.

Although the space-opera lasted only eleven episodes it didn’t matter — the world and people that populated Serenity’s decks were forever etched onto the hearts of Whedon-fans the world over. Since then Summer has hopped from sci-fi project to project, but this Sunday marks her first major foray outside the genre walls.

In Lifetime Movie Network’s “Deadly Honeymoon” Summer plays Lindsay Forrest, a newlywed whose husband mysterious disappears on their honeymoon cruise. But when the investigation turns up some mysterious evidence, it’s revealed that the blushing bride might not be as innocent as she seems. It’s a classic LMN movie and one of the reasons Summer came on board.

I chatted with the delightful actress (in my unending quest to interview everyone who has delivered Joss-speak) about her first Hollywood wedding, what it means to be a part of the Whedonverse and what that long rumored “Sarah Connor Chronicle” wrap-up movie could be about!

Lifetime Movies are somewhat iconic, was playing one of their heroine’s part of the appeal?
I have loved Lifetime since I was a little girl and those performances have stuck with me throughout my work as an actress. I’ve always dreamed of getting to tackle one myself. When this script came to me I had to jump on it.

Any favorites?
“Mother May I Sleep With Danger,” [laughs] I love that one! Any with Tori Spelling!

Like many LMN leading ladies, the audience never really knows Lindsay’s real motivations, did you enjoy creating two characters in essence?
That was my goal throughout the entire shoot. ’ve never worked harder than I did for this movie. I read the story and the challenge for me was to keep viewers guessing until the end. She’s feisty but very vulnerable. You can see her being a classic girl next door. I, of course, made a choice about what I thought happened, but I tried to portray it in an ambiguous way.

The movie does leave it up to the audience to decide since Lindsay never twirls her mustache and cackles over her money. Was that important to you?
[laughs] That’s what I was hoping for. I invested a lot of emotion and a lot of thought in this character – I wanted it to be a complicated, believable story. It was like a puzzle and a marathon. We shot it in 21 days and I was crying almost every day. It was intense.

Has making this movie affected your opinion on cruises?
I haven’t been on one yet and I’m not running out to buy a ticket.

And you have your first fake wedding in “Deadly Honeymoon,” don’t you?
Yes! It was a moment for me. I think for most girls, you can’t escape the magic of putting on the dress and imagining what it would feel like. There are a few moments where Lindsay gets teary-eyed, and it felt real to me. Although my boyfriend was there, so it was funny for him to attend my wedding to Chris Carmack, but he was such a good sport.

Lindsay is the latest in a long line of characters that seems to be nothing like you personally.
I always feels there’s a part of me in every character, but I do tend to play unrelatable or extreme characters. I guess that’s something I’m drawn to in characters.

Which character, would you say, has been the most similar to Summer?
The character I felt was really natural for me to access was River. “Firefly” was my first job and there was a part of me that was that fragile, emotional teenager. And the sparks just flew for me with her.

Since then you’ve become something of a genre girl — what’s it been like to be adopted by the fanbase?
I couldn’t believe it. When I first started working for Joss people tried to explain it to me, but there’s no way to fully understand what it feels like to be in the Whedonverse until you’re part of the family. And I still can’t believe the support I feel — the undying devotion that a lot of this genre’s fans give their actors is remarkable. And one thing I love is that they’ll give me a chance if I try something different – they’ll support me. They may not love it, but they still come watch it. I don’t know what it’s like for other actors who have to find new fans for every job we do. I feel like our fans, especially from “Firefly,” are incredibly supportive.

I think the fever pitch of it all was the petitions to keep “Sarah Connor Chronicles” on the air [at this point, Summer loudly exhales] it still sounds like a sore subject for you?
It’s still difficult for me every day. That was the job I got most attached to because I’d never shot a series for that long – you start to really feel like a family. When we first started it was Me, Lena [Headey] and Thomas [Dekker] all day, every day. And we created something we didn’t know if people would respond to but we felt the love and I was super attached and super in love. It’s still hard to let go of.

Thomas brings up a possible movie on the season two DVD commentary — what are your thoughts?
I heard there were ideas of doing that – we certainly had an awesome idea for season three that carried the storyline from season two, but was a stand-alone arc as well. I could absolutely see us be able to do a film with the same characters. I’ll never give up hope on that. I know that everyone would absolutely come back.

So let’s work the fans into a frenzy — what was the idea?
Lets just say it would take place in another time and I might be working on Allison a little more than Cameron. I was really excited about that idea.

Well, fans are also hoping to see you in Joss’ “Avengers” movie in some capacity. Any plans to reunite?
I’m always planning on it, but I don’t want to put pressure on Joss. He has so many actors devoted to him. Right now, there’s no truth to it but of course I would kill to work for him in any story he wants to tell. “Avengers” is going to be amazing, so I’d take any opportunity I could to work for him.

This Sunday, Lifetime Movie Network invites you to tag along on a ‘Deadly Honeymoon,’ during which a couple’s newlywed nirvana is turned into a nightmare when the groom (’The O.C.’s Chris Carmack) goes missing aboard a cruise ship. Summer Glau, who stars as the soon-suspected bride, revealed what she found creepy about the story, reflected on her ‘Terminator’ and ‘Firefly’ runs, and gave us a peek at the geeky-cool new pilot she just filmed.

The opening scenes of ‘Deadly Honeymoon’ are set at a beach wedding. Was that your first time ever donning a wedding dress?
Yes.… [Laughs]

How did it feel? Did you get all girly?
[Sheepish] I’m afraid so! It was really fun. I got to be married in Hawaii, in a beautiful dress… and then everything went terribly wrong.

Having done this TV-movie, have you ruled out a honeymoon cruise for when your day comes?
It’s not my first choice, no! I’ve heard a lot of stories since making that movie. “Well, there was this one time when so-and-so disappeared….” It’s kind of scary

Your character at one point checks out websites that chronicle the number of cruise ship passengers who are mysteriously lost at sea. Did you do any research of your own?
When I read the script, I just thought it was a cool character. But once we got to Hawaii and started talking about my strategy as an actress, I started to think about it more and more. The most interesting thing to me was that certain people don’t want to be involved, because it’s international waters…. That was creepy to me.

Yeah, we see that here with the ship captain who tries to shrug off the suggestion of possible foul play. Did the cruise ship you filmed on actually sail anywhere… or were you not on an actual ship?
No, we weren’t; it was all green-screen. Some of the crew got to go on a cruise to do certain shots, but we had to be very creative about how we shot the deck scenes. We’d shoot by a pool, then make it look like [it was] a cruise ship. It’s funny because when we did ‘The Cape,’ some of those shots were of me running down the halls of the actual Queen Mary.

Looking back on your past roles… Do you know what would have been next on ‘Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles‘? It looks like you would have been playing a human.
It looked that way, and I was really excited. [Executive producer] Josh [Friedman] had some amazing ideas for Season 3 and we were looking forward to exploring the past-slash-future. Yeah, we were going to be seeing Allison [Terminator Cameron's human template] a lot more.

When ‘Terminator’ got canceled, did it soothe the sting at all that Joss Whedon quickly grabbed you for some ‘Dollhouse‘ episodes?
Oh yeah. I had a great time, and I had a blast figuring out how I wanted to play Bennett.

It’s interesting to look at the cast of Joss’ ‘Firefly‘ – Nathan Fillion (’Castle’), Morena Baccarin (’V’), Adam Baldwin (’Chuck’), Alan Tudyk (’Dollhouse,’ the new ‘Rockford Files’), you… Virtually everyone has remained steadily employed since that short-lived series wrapped. That’s rather impressive.
It is. I was in amazing company. That was my first job and that was how I learned to be an actor, so I had amazing teachers. ‘Firefly’ has been a continual blessing on my life, to be sure.

Since the big-screen ‘Serenity,’ has there been talk of getting the “band” back together again?
We always dream about it and talk about it, but it’d be hard – everyone’s on a show right now!

How are you summing up ‘The Cape,’ the pilot you just did for NBC?
It’s a cop drama with a lot of other fun, exciting elements to it. It’s about Palm City, which is run rampant with crime, so the city is thinking about hiring a private corporation to take over the police. There’s a cop (played by David Lyons) that gets framed for causing these crimes, so he goes into hiding to figure out a way to expose the truth. In exile, he gets trained by this band of thieves on how to be The Cape. I play a blogger who seems to have a lot of inside information on what goes on with these crimes.

Is your character a thorn in The Cape’s side?
They don’t get along in the beginning, but she turns out to be his best ally. She shares his passion to stop this crime wave.

Do you get to kick some butt?
Absolutely. I got to do a lot of action, and I had a blast doing it!

The Cape, a pilot for NBC, is allegedly one of the more [sic] expensive ever made and thus very likely to air as a series. It’s about a framed-for-murder ex-cop (David Lyons) who becomes a “costumed crime fighter to clear his name.” His exploits are chronicled by a blogger, played by one Summer Glau, one of the most famous young women in the sci-fi geek world – from Firefly, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Dollhouse.
