I literally got choked up. I has to fight the tears so that the end of the trailer didn't get blurry. My only question is where's Book? (And Kaylee didn't get much screen time...) But otherwise... MY FRIKKEN GOD DOES THAT ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!

And what was with that "You can't stop the signal" at the end?

Yeah, I was a little disappointed by that, also. I think it'll be okay, though. The trailer was awesome in and of itself - I think that it spoke well enough that any nay-sayers should be willing to get over it.

In the meantime...

Wow.

Okay, I gotta go watch that some more.

See ya in a couple days...

Aw man, sound in space!! Hopefully it'll be gone by the time the move comes around.

Yes, Book was missing from the trailer.

Why only 6 rebels? Guessing that excludes Book, Inara and River?

Anyone else think the opening push past the universal logo is gonna be the destruction of Earth-That-Was?

Dear God that was a good trailer...

Tuesday, April 26, 2005 9:08 PM

I think it was because they had to have a "hook" to hang the movie on. It has no stars and the TV show was a blip on the radar so why not tie it to Joss. The mainstream knows about Buffy and Angel even if they don't have every episode on DVD. The mainstream doesn't know about Firefly or Nathan or Summer or Adam or Jewel... yet.

I've decided not to do a spoiler free version of the trailer because, IMHO, there were no spoilers. In fact, the one-liners in the trailer were far from the best in the movie (which is a good thing, save them for the movie) and there was no hint of the basic plot either. Excellent.

Also, it was a bit cheeky of Fotokem to put a subliminal ad in for themselves at the end.

I was looking through the trailer frame-by-frame (geek!) and...

Select to view spoiler:

... it does indeed look like they're bringing the Reavers to the party. About two thirds of the way through, in the shot just after "This Fall" there is a familiar Reaver ship in the lower left hand corner!

Hullo all!

And we held the hill. And fortified it with the bodies of the men and women cut down by cruel words and thoughtless action. Now and again messengers came with scraps of paper bearing tales of the 'verse, and we savoured these and held them close to our hearts - for they were our only connection to the sky we were forced from.

And so we waited. Waited for the angels to come and fill the sky, ships descending and taking us back into the verse to be with the people we loved and the adventures we shared. But no one can wait forever, and little by little, we were broken.

And then out of the dust came a man on horseback. His face was hard to place, it slid from our minds even as we looked upon him. Some folk spoke of him as a tall man, others as a short fella. Later still some said that it was no man at all, but a woman who carried the news. It was then we realised that this was no individual, but the spirit of the people of the verse we had left behind, carrying a message for us all. A message stamped in video and sound and like a well of water for a dying man.

We asked this enigmatic character how they got through the barren wasteland. How they survived the merciless demons of the waste who sought to tear and render those who did not submit to the dull monotony. The messenger simply said, "You can't stop the signal."

And then the messenger faded away into the distance. An every-figure of all those big damn heroes who were bringing us the relief, the escape.

And I saw a world in ruins.
And I saw many lands of many tales.
And I saw a girl dancing in a fight of grace.
And I saw a shape, and the shape brought pain.
And I saw a man, and his name was death.
And I saw a hero, and his name was Bad.
And I saw a crew, and their fate was unknown.
And I saw a chase, and the blooded hounds.
And I saw a hundred ships in the sky, and not all of them could hold on.
And I saw a thousand suns, and they all screamed, "The End!" in balls of flame.
And I saw the sky.
And I saw it all while I flew.

The angels are coming. We hit that button and they're coming home. Just a little longer...

(And it's a damn fine trailer)

It looks cool, you can certainly see where the extra cash has been spent. But I don't think it shows too many spoilers (though I haven't seen the movie so I can't guarantee it and I'm avoiding any of the spoilers anyway!). But though there are Reavers and Summer Glau is very matrixy, didn't we all kinda figure these things out long before the movie was ever gonna be released?

After all, if Summer wasn't going to show more killer instincts, why were we introduced to her gun toting skills in the first place? And why mention Reavers if they're never going to appear?

Also note! No blue hands on any of the movie trailer cast. And where's Book? I reckon Whedon is just toying with us, hiding Book in a library somewhere! He'll appear halfway through the movie having been in a monastery somewhere! Although there's an easier way to find out if Book's in the movie, just check the cast list! Plus, is the redhead gonna return? I liked her! Yowser!

I'm also hoping that the movie trailer is just aimed at the standard kick-ass fans that such trailers are usually aimed at. Let's hope that the humour, banter and on-ship plot structure still continues apace. After all, I'd like to see Kaylee and the Doc have a quick snog behind the engine housing and lots of love confusion from the Cap'n and the Whore would be good as well!

A husband/wife spat could also be added to the mix! Though maybe that's just too much for one movie, or otherwise we'll have nothing to look forward to in "Serenity 2: The Redhead Returns!"

Finally, I just loved the Capn's reaction to an unarmed killer at the end of the trailer! Reminded me of his treatment of the agent in episode 1; shoot first! Don't give a **** about the consrquences!

I think I have to echo whoever said it earlier in the thread:

But what was with the tagline at the end? I don't get it (at least in the context of the trailer).

And the visuals were unbelieveable. I have already made several friends watch it so I can flip out at them and not spotaneously combust.

There`s also a few (I won`t call them Red Herrings) Images that may be a little misleading

Enjoy every moment of it - and thank the heavens it`s a full trailer and not a teaser, could you imagine the uproar after waiting so long for this.

any thoughts on the quote at the end? "you can't stop the signal"?

It took ages to load completely, but once it did...WOO! Not only is it completely gorgeous, but it's so in the spirit of Firefly. How I've longed to hear another line from our BDHs!

I was also wondering why it said '6 Rebels', and about the sound outside of atmo. I hope that's not really in the movie...?

Oh. My. Joss. I keep watching it over and over...maybe I don't care about things like that anymore. ^_^ This has completely renewed my excitement for the movie. 157 days!

Hey all. Saw the trailer a number of times and even went through it frame by frame to see what the small blips are. And for the most part, I'm impressed. You put this in front of HITCHIKER'S, SW 3, BATMAN BEGINS, FANTASTIC 4, or any other BDM of the summer, you will definitly have millions of people who've never heard about our BDH's be chomping at the bit to see it.

First off, I like the tracking shot from the engine to the cockpit of the ship as it was re-entering. Definitly grabs the interest of the viewer. The successive montage of all the different crew members struck me a lot. They seem more wearier than the last time we saw them. They seemed less healthy and more desperate and gaunt-like. Especially Jayne. His hair seems to have grown out the most, making him nearly unrecognizable. This isn't a bad thing. Just surprising is all.

And the general look of the trailer is really dark. Blue is the most predominant color in all the shots, and the general mood is of unease. Now it's obvious why. It's just that I figured the trailer might show off more of the Whedon-esque humor and let of the nihilistic BLADE RUNNER vide, complete with a shot that seems like an updated version of the world of BLADE RUNNER. I know it does slightly, but not by much. And I was picturing the trailer to look more yellowish. It's just that since it is as sci-fi western, I thought it would have more of a westerny feel to it, and less of a blue-ish, dipped in formaldehyde look.

But that, as well as the techno music and River going all Trinity a bit too much, are my only complaints. Other than that, the trailer is kick-ass. The twins Mal and Jayne meet in the bar look intriguing, the Reavers (who I imagined resembled the zombies from George Romero's Dead movies) look pretty damn scary in an Orc kind of way. My favorite shot of the whole thing was where the Chiwel Eijofher character walks though the reflection of the still image of River. Reminds me of the great moment in LEGEND where the devil dude steps out of the mirror. The favorite small bits for me were Simon in action (pushing Kaylee away from an explosion, launching that plasma bomb thing into the air to disable the BRAZIL like chair River was strapped into) and Wash's bit was my favorite spoken bit of dialogue. And I definitly want to be in the front row when Serenity is caught between a rock (The Alliance) and a hard place (Reavers) out in the vacuum of space.

From a culture analysts P.O.V., the quotes from the various sites and the acknowledgement of the worldwide cult behind it counting in the millions (I never knew we had that many people behind this) tickles me because it confirms how much influence a group of people who've only met in cyberspace can rally for something, prove how much they want it and can influence Hollywood. That we are living in a global culture and that while Hollywood might influence us, we can influence it back.

And the trailer does leave one with questions wanting to be answered. Why are there now missiles on board? Was it Reavers or regular bad guys chasing them in that smoke belching hovercraft? Why did River drop kick Simon? Was it Mal or Simon who caught the chains before falling into the big turbine spinny thing? What's with the whole "You can't stop the signal" bit? Why wasn't Kaylee more predominant? The last one is a bit more predominant in my mind.

The trailer itself doesn't exactly fit into the parameters the HITCHIKER'S internet trailer lays out. We had the intro of many main characters who will very shortly have something so utterly fantastic happen to them, that someone just had to make a movie about it. We had lots of things blowing up, the heartless evil villains, hideous creatures, physical violence and the final montage set to rock music simply designed to blow away whatever synapses we have left in our brains and the reveal of the main title. But there was no optional "In a world" beginning, the "deep voice that sounds like a 7 ft tall man who has been smoking cigarettes since childhood" come

I am going to have to do all I can not to scream out in the theatre this weekend (ihopeihopeihopeihope!) when I see it.

As for the tagline, what you wanna bet the Alliance is sending a signal to River's brain? Or that the crew is sending one out to go up against the Alliance?

I think the trailer did an awsome job of introducing to the rest of the world the two main characters of the show, Serenity and Mal. I'll wait for charater development in the movie.

I agree Captaincdc, I see nothing wrong with the trailer saying "from the creator of Buffy and Angel". In fact I think it will draw many more people(Buffy and Angel fans) to the theatres come septemeber.

2. Reavers.

3. Dunno.

I think the line at the end "You can't stop the signal" might be the fact that Fox cancelled it but now Universal has made a movie out of it. You know, we still get to see our show. Fox did not stop the signal!!!!

Just a thought.

The trailer was awesome but 2 things worry me:

1) Was it just part of the trailer music, or did Universal force Joss to put sound in space?

2) Jayne talks differently (or at least the lines we heard from him in the trailer sounded different). He seems to have less of an accent and seems to speak like a more intellectual person. I hope it was just because the lines were taken out of context.

Other than that, the changese look awesome! Love the River fight scene. *snicker* Is the main bad guy (black dude that has no problem killing children) Jubal Early? And if so, is the same actor as from the TV series? He was speaking with a different accent as well. The special effects looked great. And I like the addition of weapons to Serenity. What can I say? I like destruction...hee hee

So can't wait for September!

Also, somebody thought Serenity fired missiles. When I looked frame-by-frame it just looks like they went for a hard burn. The next clip even shows the engines continuing to glow.

After I watched the trailer, it was like the years fell away and I was back at a time when my oldest son and I would set aside an hour Friday evening to watch the most special show on television. And then talk about it afterward... and wonder what next week's episode would reveal. Until I saw the trailer, I could remember what a special, fragile time that was. But I couldn't feel it any more.

After watching the trailer, I felt it again. For the first time since the cancellation.

It is so rare to get to experience special moments like when Firefly was on the air. Rarer still to find them a second time after they've been lost. September is so going to rock...

That was my thought. It may well refer to something in the movie, but in the trailer it's more of a nod to the fans for keeping the signal alive.

Wednesday, April 27, 2005 2:55 AM

I think the trailer is exciting and it's probably a good way to promote the movie; it does fit the Hollywood standards. Now, I have two questions. Are they still using the silence in space idea, and will the overall flavor of the series still be there?

I do have solid faith that the answer to the second question is a yes. Afterall, none of the Fox trailers represented the series very well. My theory is that Joss probably would never put this movie together without making it as true to his original vision as a movie could hold.

Checking out the trailer frame-by-frame was more encouraging for me. Though I still can't find Book, it was nice to see that there is obvious attention to detail in the shots. It's enlightening to see Mal close a fan to get a better look at River kicking some butt. Also, Reavers, I would never have guessed they could look that ugly, and finding a second very brief Reaver shot put me in a cold dark place. I am so happy and relieved to see the floral paintings in the mess hall are still there, cause, if they weren't, the world would have to endure another one of my nitpicky temper-tantrums.

Wednesday, April 27, 2005 3:30 AM

Hmm, after those posts proclaiming Joss as a god I'm afraid I might be burned at the stake as a heretic, but...

First of all, the trailer is very well done. I'm not denying that.
But if I saw that without knowing Firefly...I'd probably say, "oh, another movie I can't wait to NOT see."
However, I'm a somewhat unlikely Firefly fan to begin with - I had to be dragged in originally - so maybe that's not a problem.

Here's my problem though: it's so BIG. The plot, I mean. It seems so epic. One of the things I like so much about Firefly is that it's NOT the fate of the universe that's threatened. It's just them, plus the people they encounter directly. We definitely see a strong undercurrent of the power-centres in the universe (Alliance, mainly), but these powers affect them far more than they affect the powers. It's real, and it's personal - allowing for things like the funny exchanges between characters, marital spats, ongoing tensions, running jokes... I guess I'm just worried that everything I like best about the show will be lost when it's blown up into a movie. The trailer shows armadas of ships and what looked like destroyed cities - this makes me very worried.

And besides, if my expectations are low, I'll like the BDM even better, right?

And of course this didn't stop me from watching the trailer three or four times at 4:04 in the afternoon...

Wednesday, April 27, 2005 4:10 AM

The trailer was so friggin' awesome! It was so worth the near three hours it took to load! (I had to load it twice because my internet crashed in the middle of loading the first time. stupid dial-up modem) I love every second of the trailer.River was so very cool. I have the same questions as the other browncoats, though. Where is Book? "6 rebels?" "You can't stop the signal?" The last one is the one that baffles me the most. I've read everyone's theories on what it means, and the only one that makes a minute amount of sense to me is that it has more to do with the actual plot. It doesn't really make sense in the context of the trailer.
Guess i have to wait 'till september to find out.

My guess is that's what River is tapped into. The "voices" she hears. She's part of the "system" whether she likes it or not. She can't stop the signal.

let me add to this some own thoughts.

1. maybe confused by the scene of the chasing ship firing a missile and serenity dodging?

3. looking close it's not easy to tell if she REALLY kicks him or just kicks close to his face to demonstrate something. problem is that in a movie she would ALWAYS only kick close to it.

Anyways,I'm gonna go into Fangurl mode right now so please excuse me....ILOVEITILOVEITILOVEITILOVEITILOVEIT! I cannot wait for the movie!!! 5 months is gonna feel like 5 years to me. Everyone in the movie looks so different! River kicking some ass, that was great!!! I love that!! The whole trailer looks dark and cleaner with some very beautiful color. I like it. And the trailer doesn't seem so spolierish. If you firgured out a whole movie just by watching its trailer then its a spolierish trailer.Thats what I think but this one...no way.
I'm gonna be first in line to buy tickets to see this movie and I won't stop there. I'll see it again and again. Its gonna be a great movie. I can't wait!! I'mm like high on sheer giddy-ness. Too much happiness going straight to brain.

I'm gonna go watch the trailer again! *runs off to watch the trailer again and again and again...*

my thought, but i dont think it is coincidence, that it has more than one meaning. one inside the movie (speculation) and one saying "joss got his baby out to the world just as he promised he would".

hm, thinking about the scene above. maybe she and other "alliance projects" are kind of sleepers and the signal will make them do weird things.. like kicking their brothers *g*.. but in that case they wouldnt need someone tracking river to bring her in *confused*. well, we wont know until the movie is out.

Man. I'm still giddy with excitement and it's been more than 10 hours since my first viewing (of course, I've watched it a number of times since then ).

I spent most of the afternoon surfing around the web to see what the general reaction was and I was pleasantly surprised at how many browncoats there are out there. Slashdot and MetaFilter both had pretty decent sized threads where fans of the show pretty effectively countered some of the criticisms raised by those who had never watched an episode. Hopefully we can get a bunch of people watching the DVDs to figure out just what the heck Serenity is all about!

Well, actually 6 rebels is quite correct, since from what I understood the movie starts from the start again and then it would be 6 "rebels" and 3 passengers (River, Simon and Book... if Book is in the movie at all?)

And I know I will be burnt at the stake for saying it, but I am not sure what to make of the trailer.
The "Wowzer-Feeling" I had when I watched Firefly for the first time was not there actually.

Seems like more space, less western influence.
Most of the music in the trailer was...uhm..."interesting".
Book missing (imo one of the most interesting chars in Firefly)
Sound in Space (although it might be the cuts in the trailer that make it look that way)

Don't get me wrong, still will go and watch it on the opening weekend, but I feel I can live through to the opening date easier now after seeing the trailer. Not holding my breath as much anymore.

Wednesday, April 27, 2005 9:33 AM

Yeah, I understand where you're coming from, Gavida. Been beating this notion around over on the Serenity board. There's someone there who claims to be with the production who says, don't worry. Says that the over the top action and fast-paced cuts and music dubs are all promotional addons. That eases the mind a bit, but they also keep reiterating that the tone is different because its a movie (?).

Anyway, I actually liked the trailer a lot, but mostly because its our crew in action. How could I not love it. But if I stand back a few paces, this is exactly the kind of trailer I'd ignore in a theater if I wasn't already a fan.

Ohmigod - I was so busy thinking, "Where's Book?" that I hardly noticed the lack of Kaylee.

I think there's plenty for existing Firefly fans to look forward too (although am slightly concerned that Simon seems to be dressed like a Gestapo reject in half the photos I've seen), but is the trailer likely to bring in any new fans?

Morning after thoughts...

1) I agree with those who have expressed doubts over the various captions. I would've preferred to see the trailer go out without an explicit link to BtVS etc. I doubt that its inclusion will sell many more tickets, and it might even turn some away. The number of Buffy fans who haven't already heard of Firefly/Serenity must surely be outweighed many times over by the people who a) don't know of Buffy at all, or b) see Buffy as "just a teen show", and may therefore dismiss Serenity on the same basis. Also, quoting the adulation of websites - without any print media at all - always makes me sceptical... anyone can write anything on a website. And it's not as if respected film magazines haven't commented on Serenity - take _Empire_ in the UK, for example.

2) Curiously, I find myself a little less enthused about the film after this trailer than I was before. As some have said, too much action, not enough dialogue and character. But... have faith in Joss. And bewail the low attention span of the mainstream audience that necessitates such trailers...

3) I love the fact that the River-fu looks like a dance recital gone deadly. Seems very in keeping with the character. Plus, we'll finally be able to use "balletic" to talk about the fight scenes and mean it literally.

4) No lines for Inara. Boo! But that exasperated glance she gives Mal near the end (after "It usually is.") is our Ambassador, all right

5) "You can't stop the signal" seems to accord pretty well with some of the speculation here over River's 'programming'. My guess is that some sort of trigger has been hypnotised/built in to her brain... or that she *is* the signal, and can rouse all her fellow scary kids. Against the Alliance? As somebody said above, seems a shame to put the crew of Serenity so centre-stage in the fate of the universe when that was never what the TV show was about - but then, it isn't the TV show. Still, one day I'd love to know how Joss would've developed these plotlines (if he would have developed them) given the time and space of TV format...

6) Just downloaded it so I can watch frame-by-frame. Growing on me.

However, I'm a somewhat unlikely Firefly fan to begin with

Despite all the (not wholly unjustified) railing against Fox, there were problems with the series as a marketable product. It was just too many things. How does one market a sci-fi/ western/ drama/ romance/ action/ caper/ horror/ family/ existentialist/ post-war/ comedy /character study with sprinkles of Chinese dialog? Those of us who saw it know that it was a masterful blend of these things, but an awful lot of folks will either find something in that list that's a big turn-off or just think it must be a mess.

Universal is apparently aiming the trailer at what they think the biggest potential market is: action/sci-fi. Joss'll just have to sneak the rest into the actual movie.

Quote:
it's so BIG.

I get that concern - even share it somwhat - but here's the thing: the big was always there. Both River and the Reavers were always big things, they just weren't generally dealt with in big ways on TV. It's pretty hard to imagine any way either situation could come to a head that wasn't big.

I'll just put my faith in Joss that "big" won't preclude "real, and ... personal"

Some other notes:
Since no one else seems to be mentioning it: Book *is* in the trailer. There's a quick clip that looks like it's set planetside in a tent with Kaylee holding a child in the foreground, Mal at a table mid-ground and Book standing behind the table.(edit)

or rather I just remembered seeing it there. Apparently I just saw that photo in the official site's gallery and mentally inserted it into the trailer. Sorry.(/edit)

My only critisism: I can already tell I'm going to miss David Boyd's Cinematography. His work on the show was soooo damned beautiful. Ah well, maybe they can get him back for the SECOND MOVIE.

This was the thought that struck me as I read it, but knowing Joss it is more likely a double entendre, referring to something in the BDM as well as the fact that Fox cancelling the show did not kill it off.

She's standing on the bridge right next to Inara, kinda behind Wash.

And to echo Her Liciousness.....It brought tears to my eye it did...and my thought was "Finally! After four years, MORE STUFF TO SEE!!!!!!!"

I think that if I wasn't familiar with the show, that this would seem at least as interesting as any other sci-fi movie. We get a glimpse of the plot - rebels running from a government that's willing to murder children to reclaim this girl. Seems to be some humor thrown in. From a mass-marketing standpoint, I don't see how they could have made the trailer better.

Other than through more praise and testimony from trustworthy sources, I don't think they're going to be able to pre-sell this movie to people that aren't into sci-fi. That's the most obvious genre, and that's how they've steered the trailer. As has been said before, if they tried to throw in the other aspects of it, people wouldn't buy into it, just like they didn't with the series.

Only thing that's going to get non-sci-fi fans in there is word-of-mouth. We need to kidnap Roger Ebert and force-feed him the DVDs.

At this point, I'd be happy with him just seeing the movie. For one thing, those are the numbers that will determine whether our vers will continue or not. For another thing, if he sees the movie he will hopefully be motivated to see the series.

By the way, if he's a trustworthy friend, then there wouldn't be a need for him to shill out anything, would there? Otherwise, he could look into the public library.

I mock you with my monkey pants.

That is too cool for words! So allow me to add my thoughts in mime...

I see a lot of anxious people, but personally I am very relieved to see the trailer as it is. I get a good vibe off the writing and the acting (what little we see). True, the filming style is different (and it was that which drew me to Firefly at first). True, the story seems epic. I'm not going to worry about what might be missing because of a 2 minute trailer, though.

I suppose one thing that me mind keeps conjuring is...

Select to view spoiler:

how much the trailer could be seen to parallel bits of the original series.

I hosted a mirror of the trailer (higher quality) on WhoIsRiver.com - it got 129gb worth of downloads in the first hour.

Im thinking maybe this was like a flashback to how he got River out of the academy...seeing as in her dream in The Train Job, we see her on a similar looking chair. Maybe he was...undercover alliance-ing?
