Serenity on the set

A visitor on the set of Serenity portrays both loving detail and ruthless Hollywood efficiency:

The sets were full of intriguing details that would likely never be noticed in the finished film.
One whisky bottle on the bar set, for example, had this label: ‘Established 2349. Earth That Was. Old Earth Style Kentucky Bourbon.’ Equal care had been taken in designing the fake dollar bills which were placed on the countertop.
The loving attention to such small props was a startling contrast to the unsentimental destruction of the sets once a scene is completed. The cockpit set – as well as the set for the dailies I had watched – was already being torn apart with cool efficiency.

(Represses little internal capering in reaction to thinking about the Serenity movie …)
