Locate the Caps Lock button on your keyboard and kindly press it please...

I very much doubt Joss would ignore the history of the series. Besides didn't he already intimate that the movie is set 6 months after the series? Presumably the 'starting before the series' bit is to do with the start of the movie only i.e. a flashback.

Hey, nitram! Welcome to the board.

Don't worry about the caps lock thing too much. We all make mistakes, with the exception of a few regulars who never make mistakes, but are perfect-
-ly annoying on purpose, *cough*Purplebelly*sneeze*.

As to the question you asked, I speculated over in the "Best Screencap" thread that Joss might take us back to the aftermath of the Battle of Serenity -- as described by Zoe in The Most-Debated Deleted Scene -- as a means of introducing Mal's character to new viewers. Such a scene would cover the bases for the new viewers, yet still be good for us long-time fans as well, would it not?

I don't profess to know the mind of Herr Whedon (Evil Genius), but he did say he'd worked hard to keep it fresh for us, while introducing them to the Firefly mindscape. I'm certain Serenity will be amazing for all of us: In Joss we trust.

Respectfully,

zoid

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Welcome to the site Nitram! Glad to have you w/ us.

I would not worry about the BDM too much. As Grounded stated above the opening sequence of the movie will most likely be some sort of flashback to establish the characters and why they are no Serenity.

Now, get out there and convert all your friends and family to Browncoats as well.

actually this very question was discussed in Joss' most recent interview, which you can find in this thread:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=7834

Joss is very aware that in attracting new viewers he needs to be faithful to the story he has already begun... it is a little like walking through a mine field....

and, Nitram, welcome!
this is a great site, I know you'll find a lot of wonderful WPs, fanfic, and other fun here

"Martin" backwards right?

I have a fiend who does that. He puts in a "y" to look cooler though the fool. ("Nytram", ugh)

Welcome aboard.

JW said the movie'd begin before the series started? Another war flashback perhaps?
