Just spotted this over on Whedonesque, thought I'd give any German browncoats a heads up. Firefly is now out on a dubbed DVD in germany (English version is also on DVD). Here's what a poster on Whedonesque had to say about the dubbing:

The DVD is already #66 in Amazon's rankings, which is pretty good for a show that nevered aired in Germany. Hopefully that will go up further when Serenity premieres November 24.

A European country getting a Hollywood movie on DVD weeks before the USA? Wow!

No, it's the series that's been released, haha. I thought that, too, until I stopped to think for a moment.

I have no excuse for my stupid mistake. I read "Firefly" as "Serenity"...

I'm not sure whether that makes me a fanboy or a moron :P

Huh. I'm just like everybody else. The headline does say Firefly, I mentally read it as Serenity.

I need a plan?

I actually did see it as "Firefly" (do I get a prize?), but then got confused by the second poster and thought I misread it the title of the thread.

In any event, yay for Germany. I'd still recommend watching it in English, though, because I know what German translations are usually like, even the "good" ones. My all-time favourite translation: "Murder, She Wrote" became "Mord Ist Ihr Hobby", translated back to mean "Murder Is Her Hobby". Angela Lansbury turns from crime novelist/reporter to serial killer in one subtle (German) turn of phrase.

The same voices as in Serenity? I heard them in a Trailer. It was.... weird. It took me 5-10 seconds to recognize the movie.

I tried several times in Germany to find the Firefly DVD set to buy for a German friend of mine. I thought it was criminal that it wasn't out over there, especially with the movie coming out so soon. Now just when I thought I couldn't buy a German version, they put one out.

I was at the Serenity Squared con in Heathrow, England. My god it was good. A special thank you to Sean Maher, who had to sign like 3000 things (possibly more) as it was his first time at the Starfury Convention so there was a huge backlog of people wanting things signed.

The guest list was:

Nathan Fillion,
Summer Glau,
Jewel Staite
Morena Baccarin
Sean Maher
Christina Hendricks
Johnathan M Woodward
Neil Roberts

They were all great, and Christina Hendricks for her first time at a Con was superb.
