YAHOOOOO!

I am so excited. Here is the .torrent:

The quality isn't that great but seeing as I had nothing before, this totally made my day!

TRS80 will have a mirror soon too.

A million thanks to KernelM who capped this and posted it to usenet!

It should work fine on a Mac. The thing to be sure of is that you're not trying to play the .torrent file. That's the file that enables you to download the .avi teaser. If you need more information on torrents, start at http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/

If you successfully download the .avi, but still can't play it with Quicktime, try VLC which you can download at http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14738

I'm in the process of downloading, so I can't verify for myself that it works yet, but I'll report in when I'm done.

Yeah, I really don't see why Universal should be nervous about posting a good quality copy on the Browncoats site. It's such an awesome teaser.

Summer Glau is going to be an ACTION SUPERSTER after this! ;) She looks so wickedly cool.

I assume one reason the trailer isn't offical yet is because the hue and contrast looks differently in various clips. The color hasn't been corrected yet. Parts of it seemed at little too yellow or green from what I remember.

The server hasn't maxed out on connections since I put the video up, so I'd say it's a problem with your connection.

Actually--the audience applause at the end is what does it for me.Almost as good as seeing the trailer in an audience full of Firefly fans!

A couple questions: There's one scene where it looks like Inarra gets shot in the gut and goes down--but it happens very quick. Anyone catch this, or am I seeing things?

Also, there's a scene where a figure is standing against an open sky (there are also what appears to be vertical wooden beams of some construct) and the figure seems to teleport from the right side of the screen to the left. Is this a bad cut, or what--can anyone make it out?

It's exciting to see we're a step closer to the movie and all, but I really couldn't hear or see much from that clip. I'm sure the camera person did the best he/she could, but I can't wait for the trailer to be officially released.

Someone previously posted that it looks like Inara got shot. I couldn't tell if it was Inara or River, or even Kaylee. Or just some random woman. At the end, the same woman says either "Reaver" or "River" as far as I could tell.

The only thing that I did see clearly (besides that this is gonna be a kickass BDM), was River doing a Jet Li/Spiderman thing up against the ceiling, looking like she was about to get medieval on someone. Looks interesting.

WOW. You're right about the teleportation. Very strange. Perhaps I'm going to have to add the Psionic Teleportation sphere from Traveller to Neverwinter Nights Firefly after all (didn't think it fit with River's abilities). Or it IS probably just a cutting issue.

And someone goes down in the cargo bay from a shot - not sure if it's Inara (very dark).

First - I think it looks like River. I just get that because I think it's her at the end that says 'Reavers', and it looks like she could be in the same spot she was when she fell. *shrugs*

Second question - It does look weird. I slowed it down but still couldn't tell. Very odd.

I spent three minutes screaming and jumping in joy after watching this. Just so incredible.

It is River and she says Reavers while lying on the ground. It's not teleportation IMHO. It just a clip of her walking from point A to point B with the middle edited it out. It's probably an illusion or mind trick.

Yes, in addition to the jump cut, (i assume it's just Joss being, what he calls in his commentary "arty-farty") the vertical beams are part of a swingset that happens to also be on fire...

Select to view spoiler:

possibly river wandering the town hit by reavers.

The person at the end is River, and she opens her eyes and whispers, "Reavers!"

I hate to say it, but I don't like the look of the movie. I mean, that doesn't even look like Firefly. It's like they took the actors from Firefly, put them in a sci-fi/horror movie, and gave the characters the same name. I really hope that the small portion of the movie that's shown in the teaser is the exception, not the rule. Either way, though, I'm a little less excited about the movie now than I was before I watched it. If you haven't seen the teaser yet, then take my advice and don't.

"I hate to say it, but I don't like the look of the movie. I mean, that doesn't even look like Firefly. It's like they took the actors from Firefly, put them in a sci-fi/horror movie, and gave the characters the same name."

I don't know how familiar you are with bootlegs, but point blank they're very rarely indicative of the film's actual look. Color, contrast, etc. are likely to be completely different.

I personally was blown away. What impresses me the most is that the people who saw it at Comic-Con remembered all the did. It moves FAST.

I also like the more cinematic angles and stuff they used. It's less intimate than the show, but it's also more epic. It's like going from "Gunsmoke" to "Once Upon a Time in the West."

And even though the bridge is clearly a bit different, the shot of Wash piloting is from the angle that we almost ALWAYS watched Wash pilot from. Perfect.

Didn't really get a good feel of the bank scene. Zoe's line didn't play quite right to me, but I'm sure it'll be better in context.

And damn, River! Truly a starchild; she practically glows even in the low-res.

I think the trailer looks great. To me if it looked identical to the series then it wouldn't be movie and the washed out brown look of the clip I think works very well it gives it a very authentic old west feel. Though the washed look of the trailer is no doubt due to the way the trailer was filmed at the comic-con. It is also important to note that the way a trailer comes across to a viewer compared to the finished film can be completely different.

All in all for an early teaser trailer that was quickly thrown together this looks Amazing.

My excitement level has just doubled and I was already very excited

I agree with 2by2' assesment of where river is.

Question i have, is she physically there or in her mind as in the begining of Bushwacked when she says "it's a ghost" but is not on the ship that was hit by Reavers.
She just senses it.

Also yes that is River at the end and she does say "Reavers" kind of like in Bushwacked again. It is also River who gets knocked down not Inara. Not sure if she is shot or it is an impact of some kind physical or maybe even mental/psychic?

CGREALMS Zoe's line at the bank to me seems like sarcasm directed at Mal like there was supposed to be tons of cash in that vault but once opened there was only chumpchange so she says "At last we can retire and give up this life of crime" as if to say wow twenty bucks and change were rich...NOT!

Mal: "Well lady, I must say...you're my kinda stupid."
