I've heard that some people who saw Batman Begins in the theater saw of course the trailer that has been online on the big screen with one small change...a July 29th release date. Is Uni deciding that the film is ready to go already? They've been selling out advance screenings everywhere, and it seems odd that they'd change the release date again.

Did anyone else see Summer (River) in last weeks 4400. She played a troubled youth in a mental institution!!! Poor girl really knows how to play that part but I hope she's not getting type-cast!

Still have to wait til September :( Unless they do more screenings that is....

Saw this trailer when I saw the SWIII movie.

:huh::o:blink:

Felt like I was watching a Buffy/Andromeda hybrid that had equally poor acting. Really campy. Hope the movie isn't so long that the directing and acting styles totally bore people.

And now, Sci-Fi will be showing the Firefly episodes in order starting July 22, before the Stargate and Battlestar Galactica shows. For those who missed the DVD's, here ya go!! :)

I'm glad their making a movie and everything but I'd rather see it back as a series. There's so much mythology and character development, it lends itself more nicely in a serial fashion. Plus I get to see it every week... Unfortunatley Whedon already said that's not gonna happen.

Buy the rutting DVD's people!

I kinda doubt Joss wants to go back to TV even if they offered him the world...because they have screwed him so many times, I think he will stick to films as he has stated.

Hopefully, it does well enough for sequels...I mean, we get sequels to House of the Dead, and other crap.... :angry:

Not making it into a TV series again is the opposite of what Joss commented about on one of the DVD's special features.

He said after the movie is out he hopes someone will say "hey, that would make a great TV series!"

I think the "not going back to TV was a more recent" statement. In any case I would love to see it on a weekly basis.

This was a speech by Joss Whedon before one of the advance screenings of Serenity:

Hi, my name is Joss Whedon. Before we begin the special screening, I have a little story I want to tell you. It's about a TV show called Firefly.

Firefly went on the air a few years ago and was instantly hailed by critics as one of the most canceled shows of the year. It was ignored and abandoned and the story should end there, but it doesn't, because the people who made the show and the people who saw the show (which is...roughly...the same *number* of people) fell in love with it a little bit...too much to let it go, too much to lay down arms when the battle looked pretty much lost. In Hollywood, people like that are called 'unrealistic' ... 'quixotic' ... 'obsessive'.

In *my* world, they're called 'Browncoats'.

Whether you've watched the show, or saw the DVD's, or whether you've never set foot in the Firefly universe before tonight, the fact that you're here means that you are part of something...something that is a little bit remarkable. This movie *should not* exist. Failed TV shows don't get made into major motion pictures unless the creator, the cast, and the fans believe beyond reason.

It's what I've felt. It's what I've seen...in the DVD sales, the booths at the cons run by fans, the websites, the fundraisers... *all* the work the fans have done to help make this movie. It is, in an unprecedented sense, *your* movie...which means, if it sucks, it's *your* fault. You let us down, but let's not dwell on *your* failures because the work is not done.

I have to finish making it. Obviously not *quite* the final cut and you will notice some placeholders in music and effects, but we're very close. Once we are finished, we have to get people to see it. Now, obviously the studio is going to do their thing. There will be ads and trailers and all that joy, but this movie doesn't have stars and it doesn't have a giant mega-budget or even a simple salable premise. What it has is *us*, the people who believed unreasonably.

If this movie matters to you, let somebody know. Let *everybody* know. Make yourselves heard. If you don't like the movie, this is a time for quiet, silent contemplation. But, when the unfinished credits roll, if you still call yourself a Browncoat, remember the millions of people who don't...who *might*.

I want us to do this together. The cast is going to be appearing wherever they can. I'm going to be blogging and stumping and whatever I can think of. We've got Can'tStopTheSignal.com up and running...I'm fairly certain. We're all doing everything we can to make this the event that it should be.

Just remember, they tried to *kill* us...they *did* kill us...and here we are. We have done the *impossible*, and that makes us mighty. Thank you for helping to get this movie as far as it has gotten.

Welcome to Serenity.

B))

I was going to go to the Houston screening (no ticket just show up) and opted instead to get some sleep as we were driving to Atlanta next day. Then I found out Summer Glau (River) was there :(

In other less 'me pity' news, the international Serenity trailer airs in London at 10 GMT Wednesday, or in about 4 hours (think I did the math right)

if anyone gets news about screenings in L.A. (hell, even San Diego, Las Vegas or Rancho Cucamanga...) please... pleeeeaaaaase PM me... :)

They were supposed to have a July screening, but it got cancelled, so only the August showing is still rumored...they might have one at DragonCon, but that's still up in the air as well

If anyone cares, a higher res-version is up on the link I posted earlier...

No trailer has appeared on TV yet for this...too early. But theaters have had them.

And even Yoda has sprang some subliminal force advertising for this film :D :
