Very exciting news. I can't wait to get my hands on the special edition DVD. I own the original and will happily purchase the new one this summer. One day I will have the money to buy an HD Player and then I'll pick it up in HD as well. Thanks for the happy news!

Shiny! And it's not "just" the Aussi SE, it's gonna have brand new stuff, like commentaries! And I hear there's gonna be different key art.

Yes. This is exciting news. Especially since Joss mentions that the regular DVD SOLD SO WELL. Hehe.

Here's the posting (courtesy of Whedonesque):

Quote:

Yes, fanlings, there is going to be a 2 disc 'Special Edition' released this summer. You know why? 'Cause the 1 disc 'Normal Edition' has sold so well -- so maybe a little self-back-patting is in order for you guys. Way to keep her in the air.

It's too early to be sure what the Special Edition will contain, but here are some things we're going for:

NEW KEY ART.

Cast commentary -- assuming I can get a decent number of them in one room. They're very busy people, I'm happy to say.

NEW KEY ART.

The region 4 goodies, obviously.

The Tam Sessions.

KEY NEW ART.

New Yub Yub, and Greedo shoots first. So does that kid outside the trading station, the pilot who destroyed Haven, and Kaylee. And Richard Dreyfuss goes INSIDE the mothership.

KEW RAT YEN.

An alternate ending, if you turn it off early.

Proof of the existence of a benevolent higher power -- uh, I mean, new key art.

Mice.

And honestly, what more do you want? Don't answer that, I already know and it's unseemly. But I'm pretty excited here. Back to work, -j.

I hope its one of those long extended director's cut thingys with all the deleted scenes put back it. Generally that screws a movie up (Aliens Director's cut snore) but I can't ever get too much Serenity...or Firefly for that matter.

I think Joss said that the movie already IS the director's cut, because it is like he envisioned it.
And I liked the Aliens DC much better than the regular cut!

YES! That was one of the things I found a little disappointing about the Firefly DVDS - we've only got Alan, Nathan, Morena, Jewel (? - ours have been lent out), and Joss (Did I miss anyone?) to regale us with behind-the-scenes tidbits.

After all, they were added to that movie after it was previewed (they helped to signify the scene changes for the kiddies in the audience).

Could be, but I thought it was more Hitchhiker's Guide than kid's movie. Cracked me up! Oh, the man is brilliant!
Do you think there will be extra deleted scenes? Like the scene we never got to see with Mal and Inara on Miranda?
NEW KEY ART!
Guess we're not the only ones excited about that one

like inara's bow being seen in the background, when she is suppose to have the bolt thrower.

things like that would really rock!

Wow, this is AWESOME news! I bought the region 4 DVD specifically for the extra special features, but I can only play it on my computer because of the PAL tv system and the region 4-ness of the DVD. I held off on buying the US version for this exact reason. Now I can watch all those special features on TV plus even more!

I dunno if it MUST be made by then, but I hear the BDH's contracts for 3 movies run out this Semptember. So I guess we're gonna have to go super-crazy on those Special Edition DVDs in July and hope for the best. Which we'll probably do anyways, but we're gonna have to totally overdo it.

I know. I was there.

However, we don't know if we can count on the non-browncoats to buy the movie again as a special edition, so this time it's gonna be mostly us. Also, it depends on what blockbuster is coming out on DVD in July, too. But yeah, let's aim high and go for the top.

It is good to hear Joss confirm:

Now let's just hope it has sold well enough that coupled with the sales from this new 'Special Edition' set that we can get our Big Damn Sequel.

Do you think that most Browncoats would want the deleted scenes added in or not?

If they are put back in, does that version then become the "real" movie?

Personally, I'd like them added in...they're great and won't change the movie, only enhance it.
