and are those snippets of the actual score music, if so it sounds fantastic.

the movie is not the Series. Only the facts have been changed, to irritate the innocent; the names of the actors and characters remain the same

It's immediately obvious to me:
Less River fight scene
Less big space battle
Less "Joss Whedon . . . "
No "Millions of fans"
More dialogue
Longer dialogue
More humour

This feels more like Firefly. Notwithstanding all the glowing reviews from Flans who've seen the BDM, the US trailer made me anxious. I'm much less so now.

Oh, and I didn't find the US trailer too spoilery, 'cause I'd heard

Select to view spoiler:

there was a big space battle, & that the A story was the Operative pursuing River,

before seeing it. This trailer shows a plot element that isn't in the US trailer. ***Caveat videre***

um... wow.

This is infinitely better than the US trailer. In fact, the US trailer is just plain sad by comparison. The music, the humor, the fact that there is dialogue at all, the way it tells about the crew, that fact that they show the ship in it's cargo-ship form (this is your captain speaking....) and well... everything...... this makes me wonder who decided to make the US one more.... um... action-ish and empty.

Ack, better put that all in spoilers....

Yeah, this trailer IS much better than the US version - though that did rock really hard also. If they make a High Definition version of this trailer I might have to burn it onto DVD and give it out in the street so everyone can witness the greatness of the upcoming film..

:)

Though it was a fair bit more spoilery than the US one with the way you saw more of River's character (trying not to say too much)

I *love* the humour in it - the "yes" "no!" "yes" "no!" "yes" "no!" bit with Wash and Mal (?) is really nice, and the beginning bit with needing "authorisation"

IT ROCKED SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

That's fantastic! It certainly seems an action-packed adventure. Quite different from the US version, isn't it? There's so much more speech and a faster pace - they don't wait for people to finish their sentences!

I recommend the Real Audio version. I think it's the nicest, and is 4.5MB. The Quicktime movie (10.5MB) is a little fuzzy, and the Netherland version seems the same to me. The Windows Media (4.5MB) has some noticeable artifacts and waviness.

Has anyone else compared versions? The Quicktime high-res is 1:54 long, the Real high-res is 1:48. In the Real version

Select to view spoiler:

The Operative says "Every minute you keep River Tam from me more people will die"

like in the first trailer. But in the Quicktime version

Select to view spoiler:

he skips her last name, and says "Every minute you keep River from me more people will die."

That's all I've noticed so far, and it's getting late - I'll look closer tomorrow.

ETA: The Real version runs faster, which would explain some of the comments made above. Compare the pitch of the music between versions.

I saw somewhere there was an interview with Joss and Morena in which the casting of Wonder Woman came up. Morena appearently gave him quiet a look when he mentioned his preferred casting for the role......

...Morgan Freeman.

Woh!
What a trailer. Simply Superb.

I thought the last one was good, but well, this one blows that one out of the water.

Is the music from the actual score? (During the parts where Mal is doing the announcement on the ship). If not, anyone know where it's from?

Usually international trailers are much better than the US trailers because it's harder to win over the European market (sad, actually. It's getting kind of annoying).

The quicktime file freezes my computer but the Real Player is the best quality I think. Why isn't this on the official site?

Does anyone else's heart skip a beat when watching trailers in the cinema see the UIP then Universal screen? So far it's not been Serenity in the UK but I'm still waiting.

That's bizarre! The music is actually at a different pitch! Although I didn't notice it in the voices, like Psychicriver did.

Select to view spoiler:

The RA and WMV versions also have River saying "No, I'm going for a ride" whereas Quicktime omits the first word. Like they were trying to keep it under a time limit.

Looks like the trailer generated quite a lot of traffic (how suprising), we just got a message on the dutch board from uip.nl saying the version from their site generated more then 300gb of traffic in one day, make you wonder how much those others generated, since they were up a lot sooner.

....that'll teach them to switch our premier date back one week

Not so much in the trailer, but for pics of Book, go to http://www.serenitymovie.com - click Gallery, then find the 6th photo - Book is there.

Perhaps he's taking a back seat in this particular film.

This trailer is a lot better then the previous one. I agree with what everyone else said. (I actually didn’t read all of the post, so let’s just assume I agree with everyone else.) But this does feel a lot more like Firefly.

So the question is, which trailer is more representative of the movie? This one or the first one? Who are they trying to fool? The Americans or everyone else? I don’t know these things. I’m just giddy to see a trailer I like. It gives me hope for a better world.

The international trailer is more representative. ALTHOUGH, I think that the tone of it gives the impression that the whole Serenity movie is light hearted, which it's not. BUT it's not as serious (i.e. there is firefly humour which you see in the international trailer) as the American one would have you believe.

Have faith in the BDT international!
