Serenity Trailer

Looks pretty damn sweet. Though I find it strange that his "Unique" vision of the future is pretty much a combination of Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop.

What's this Serenity everyone's talking about? I've never heard of it

Hah. Even Smooth's on the Serenity bandwagon. Wooha.

Though from what I've heard, test screenings didn't go down too well. This however can be attributed to the test audiences having no brains or attention span.

You've been ignoring the topics again! Movie version of Firefly. Do a boardsearch!

River. Kicking. Arse.

i heard it was because fox insisted ona recut that involved removing the middle, moving the conclusion to the start of the film and replacing teh second act with an egg.

Test Audiences are a disgusting pathetic dirty concept that i cannot even begin to describe my contmept for.

"I have a vision! This is my dream! I have artistic integrity"

"The test viewers didn't like it."

"Okay, let's reshoot the beginning and [composite word including 'f*ck'] over half the running gags throughout the film."

I'm looking at you, Kevin Smith.

Looks like you may not have to...

It gets better.

As thus: The movie is very nearly finished. You've seen many pretty images in the trailer. But I've still got work to do and you've still got months before you can see it.

Unless.

And, no, I'm not talking Australia (but Hi, Australia! anyway), I'm talking here in the more-or-less-United States, a one time multi-city Browncoat sneak event. Thursday, May 5th at 10:00 pm, the movie (Serenity! Pay attention! Jeez.) will be playing at exactly 10 theaters in 10 cities across the country. You (or possibly someone much like you) (or possibly a robot EXACTLY like you, but with better manners and sonic arm-lasers, sent to take your place) will be able to buy a ticket to see Serenity months in advance. Not just the bitty trailer with not enough Kaylee and Book, but the whole film, in its extremely almost completed state.

You probably have some questions. How is this possible? What cities exactly will it be in? What are these changes my body is going through? All valid. It's possible because some clown put a bunch of Universal execs in a theater full of Browncoats and dude, they came out SWEATING, they never seen energy like that. They loved it, and even though they were already wicked supportive of the movie (see: earlier posts re: we're making the movie) they simply weren't ready for you guys. When I whinged on about pushing the date and everyone here was posting about "what do we do till September", they agreed to let me sneak it out.

Maybe they thought it was a fluke. Maybe they wanna see if people really do care about the flick. Or maybe they're just treating us with respect and kindness, though that last option confuses and terrifies me as much as these changes my body is going through (I'm "perspiring" and becoming "interested in girls", which believe me is very unsettling when you're 40.) Does it matter? The plan works for me, and it can work for a select bunch of y'all. Here's what I know:

The cities to be hit are:

Seattle
Austin
Sacramento
Boston
Altanta
Chicago
San Francisco
Las Vegas
Denver
The Portland of Oregon

If you're in or near one of those, you might wanna stop by. There's supposed to be a "Can't Stop the Signal" page on this website (I don't know where it is -- hey, I remembered my damn password, doesn't that buy me any cred?) There should be more info there soon about how to get in, bringing peeps into the fold, I think there's even competetions and stuff. (All I know is I have exactly 20 Brownie points. I answered ONE triv Q and got it wrong. Forget cred. I have no cred.) Now a couple of us might just creep into one of those major metropolitan multiplexes to see if anyone does show up, so remember: swearing in Chinese ONLY.

All right. This will please the fans and satisfy the employers of Joss Whedon, so I must stop as my arm-lasers are getting tired. I politely thank you for your attention.

Should be fun.

The tickets to the previews were all sold out the day after.

What is this cut thing?

Post by **Computron** » Mon May 02, 2005 6:11 pm

The tickets were sold out before I could nab any. There was no chance on getting em, not with the horde of interested people.

**** yeah! Looks sex.

I love the way they have tried to make a virtue out of the fact its a 'cult'

why not just make the tagline 'we're such a bunch of braindead goat****ers for axing this?'

Because Fox have got about as much to do with the movie as Abe Lincoln does?

Which is a Good Thing.

Post by **Best First** » Tue May 03, 2005 9:21 pm

well i guess you could say they are directly responsible for it happening...

Brendocon · Post by **Brendocon** » Wed May 04, 2005 8:02 am

But would it be happening if it weren't for Abe Lincoln, eh?

Post by **Best First** » Wed May 04, 2005 8:33 am

The Puritans did it!

Less puns and ugly little box-nose, more blank stare!
