With an update on September 14, Greg has finally added a preview page for Serenity:

http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hp&id=1808596906&cf=prev

Yahoo! has had a Serenity movie page for a while, but this is the first appearance of a Greg's Preview page. Why is this important? Greg's main page has a top 20 list of the "Most Visited Previews". To be on this list is to enhance visibility. How cool would it be to have Serenity appear in this list in the first week it becomes available! Please bookmark the Serenity preview page and click on it whenever you can, say at least once a day. It takes very little time, and cost nothing.

And if you can, please send a thank you note to Greg. We've been hounding him for months about this. It would be nice to thank him for finally coming through.

Yeah, and if wishes were horses we'd all be eatin' steak.

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

Sent a thank you note to Greg and will continue to check out the preview several times a day to get it into the list.

Thanks for posting this for us.

Thanks; I've posted on the message board and also plan to visit the page frequently. Have you posted this to the OB, fireflymovie.com, and the 'versal board?

Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

The page basically has a summary of the series. But what is the movie about?

And who is Greg? In relation to the fandom, I mean. Is he just a guy with a site? Is he an insider?

Also, does it bug anyone else that all the previews I read basically make the movie seem like it's starting from the very beginning of the Firefly story?

"Taking on" River and Simon like they are just joining the group or something? Hello? They've been on Serenity since episode one, people.

It seems like they are previewing Firefly, not Serenity. We already KNOW all this stuff.

I'm sure he just pulled that description of the movie off the official movie site at www.serenitymovie.com -- and by the way, most people DO NOT know any of this stuff. That's the point. We are already going to see the movie countless times, but it's going to be a bust if we can't get people interested who haven't seen or heard of the series yet...

I didn't say MOST people already know this stuff... I said WE (Firefly fans) already know this stuff. Big difference.

I want to see a synopsis that doesn't sound like a recap of the series. So sue me.

I posted it at fireflymovie.com. Looks like someone already posted it at the Serenity movie board.

Thanks for the info! I sent Greg a thank you, also.
I noticed under "Based Upon" when he mentions the Firefly series, then says
"It was cancelled before it completed an entire season, but DVD sales of the run of the show were so impressive the movie got the go-ahead."

I was wondering if that was his personal observation or something already posted online somewhere (like the description of the movie). I just think it says a lot about a show that sales of the DVD could produce a major motion picture.

Greg is just some dude who writes for Yahoo. I've read him a few times, and I'm really not impressed at all, but hey, that's some pretty high visibility.

But then, I much prefer hard fact over unsubstantiated gossip. I'm flawed in that way, I guess.

Yes, yes, and yes.

Thanks for asking.

That's true, Willowy, we Firefly fans know the whole story and if your curiosity has the best of you, I have seen some posts claiming spoilers for the movie around. I don't want to be spoiled, so I can't tell you where. I'm assuming these posts go beyond the seeming TV series recap the movie site has. Additionally, there have been many posts stating that Serenity takes place about 8 months after the message. I'm sure there will have to be explanations for the folks that have never seen Firefly before but I believe that Joss will make it interesting enough for the already fans not to fall asleep. To me it doesn't matter since I'm planning to see the movie several times in the first weekend to help it succeed and so long as our BDHs are up on the silver screen (and go for 2 more sequels) I don't much care what they do.
