Hey everyone,
For a final project for my editing class I'm making a trailer for Serenity, and like most trailers you need praise quotes in it. I'm not looking for "2 thumbs up" and such and I also do not wanna use the ones from the original trailer.

So I'm reaching out to the Browncoats to give me some ideas for quotes. Now remember this is a trailer that will be seen by non-fans as well as people like us so the quotes must appeal to all audiences!

Thanks ahead for all input, and if you wanna create a name for the quote that's cool, if not i can use your name to go along with it!!
Thanks Guys
Chuck

It's a science fiction film for fans of science fiction.

Ni Hao , pops !

Best quote site by far is Rotten Tomatoes...You'll find some of the best reviews and most insightful quotes there , plus something no other site has...The 'TOMATOMETER' !

Here's a direct link to Serenity reviews there :

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/serenity

There are NINE PAGES of review quotes available at the site...

By the way , folk find Serenity 82 % 'Fresh' , and we all know that the 'rotten' folk and their steenking reviews
really don't count at all...

Enjoy !

And please let us know how this project turns out...Our advance thanks for bringing this brand of religiosity to them as need it told !

" It's a science fiction film for fans of science fiction. "

Yeah , that's a great quote , Dave , but it's sort of niche-y and genre-limited...It's like " preaching to the choir ".

Serenity transcends genre , and unifies various fan-favorite tropes...

We're tryin' to reach the fuzzie-wuzzies...Those folk who don't know Serenity from Shinola !

I thought we we're trying to reach everybody. Seriously though I can't count the number of people that I've had to drag to Firefly kicking and screaming because they'd given up on TV/movies doing science fiction right. I was in that category myself actually until I got the DVDs.

Sorry , didn't mean to sound critical , actually !

Just meant we have to be careful , 'cause there are lots of folk who don't know what's good for 'em , or that turn their noses up at the mere intimation of anything 'sci-fi'...

We're all on the same team here...

I just want to be sure we don't go inadvertently excludin' people...

'Cause that would be rude !

By fuzzie-wuzzies , that's what I meant...Folk that don't know what's good for 'em , or that are uncomfortable with sci-fi , or that just haven't made their minds up yet...

A lot of minds slam shut at 'sci-fi' , so I've taken pains to say , " It's an Action-Adventure / Drama " , and that seems to haul 'em in...

Even so , one has to be careful about the notion of 'Drama' around folk with manparts , 'cause God knows , we see aplenty of that in 'real life' , what with the empty kitchens and all...

Serenity is the flying cars and the moon base they promised us when we were younger, when we still looked up at the night sky in wonder. -William Pace

William Pace is a genius everyone...y'all need to just accept that last quote as the final word on the matter and end it right there.

Utah Browncoats ftw!
