Very exciting news. I can't wait to get my hands on the special edition DVD. I own the original and will happily purchase the new one this summer. One day I will have the money to buy an HD Player and then I'll pick it up in HD as well. Thanks for the happy news!

Shiny! And it's not "just" the Aussi SE, it's gonna have brand new stuff, like commentaries! And I hear there's gonna be different key art.
Yes. This is exciting news. Especially since Joss mentions that the regular DVD SOLD SO WELL. Hehe.

Here's the posting (courtesy of Whedonesque):

Quote:

Yes, fanlings, there is going to be a 2 disc 'Special Edition' released this summer. You know why? 'Cause the 1 disc 'Normal Edition' has sold so well -- so maybe a little self-back-patting is in order for you guys. Way to keep her in the air.

It's too early to be sure what the Special Edition will contain, but here are some things we're going for:

NEW KEY ART.

Cast commentary -- assuming I can get a decent number of them in one room. They're very busy people, I'm happy to say.

NEW KEY ART.

The region 4 goodies, obviously.

The Tam Sessions.

KEY NEW ART.

New Yub Yub, and Greedo shoots first. So does that kid outside the trading station, the pilot who destroyed Haven, and Kaylee. And Richard Dreyfuss goes INSIDE the mothership.

KEW RAT YEN.

An alternate ending, if you turn it off early.

Proof of the existence of a benevolent higher power -- uh, I mean, new key art.

Mice.

And honestly, what more do you want? Don't answer that, I already know and it's unseemly. But I'm pretty excited here. Back to work, -j.

I hope its one of those long extended director's cut thingys with all the deleted scenes put back it. Generally that screws a movie up (Aliens Director's cut snore) but I can't ever get too much Serenity...or Firefly for that matter.

I think Joss said that the movie already IS the director's cut, because it is like he envisioned it.
And I liked the Aliens DC much better than the regular cut!

YES! That was one of the things I found a little disappointing about the Firefly DVDS - we've only got Alan, Nathan, Morena, Jewel (? - ours have been lent out), and Joss (Did I miss anyone?) to regale us with behind-the-scenes tidbits.

Do you think there will be extra deleted scenes? Like the scene we never got to see with Mal and Inara on Miranda?

i dont want the deleted scenes if joss doesnt want them, but what i would like is for him to fix the small errors in the movie.

like inara's bow being seen in the background, when she is suppose to have the bolt thrower.

things like that would really rock!

all in all, i am ready for it. i know what i am passing out for christmas. hahaa

Wow, this is AWESOME news! I bought the region 4 DVD specifically for the extra special features, but I can only play it on my computer because of the PAL tv system and the region 4-ness of the DVD. I held off on buying the US version for this exact reason. Now I can watch all those special features on TV plus even more!

However, we don't know if we can count on the non-browncoats to buy the movie again as a special edition, so this time it's gonna be mostly us. Also, it depends on what blockbuster is coming out on DVD in July, too. But yeah, let's aim high and go for the top.

If they are put back in, does that version then become the "real" movie?

I have no idea what most fans want. It's essentially irrelevant, since they're not going to be put back in.

And anyway, I agree with Joss' arguments for the deletions that were made, heh. They would, in fact, change the movie -- depending on what you consider "change".

That would be priceless. We must all write to Adam Baldwin asking him to do this if he is approached for commentary.

I wouldn't presume to know what most fans want but I'd like to see the deleted scenes put in the movie, or at least the one where Mal and Inara talk in her shuttle.

That's exactly the one scene I really WOULD like to see edited in. Or wait - I mean the one where the shuttle takes off, and Mal doesn't hold on and disappears from view, going "I'm ok!". That's the one I mean. But I think you're referring to a dialogue scene? It's been a while since I watched the deleted scenes.

Okay, I'll ask too. What is "Key Art"? And I would love to hear Joss say that "The SE's success will drive whether or not a sequel is made" instead of his normally cryptic updates ;) Like what did he mean when he said: "And honestly, what more do you want? Don't answer that, I already know and it's unseemly." Unseemly is not unlikely and THAT is good.

Hmmm...July...Xmas in July....1 copy each to all our guests. Browncoats forever!

Even though I am new to the cause I see this new release as another chance for us to show the power of the fans, if we can do this it can only enhance Joss' sales pitch to networks in the future.

Please also dont forget that no matter which country you are in make sure you pressure your local tv channels to show Firefly and Serenity. Every time a station purchases the show it not only makes it more commercially viable to start up production again but it is also the best way to recruit new fans.

Or a shot that actually looks like Summer. They touched up that piccy so much it didn't really look like her in the end.

And less llamas.

Frankly, I could get behind the Captain Tightpants cover. Very closely behind.

Well, good news. I'll ask for this for christmas. Now if he edited it so Wash and Book survive and are alive and healthy in the sequel it'll be perfect. Oh well.

On the other hand Heroes is coming out in August. Woo Hoo. I won't have to wait long for my newest obsession. Waiting with bated breath for the Peter/Syler showdown.

I know it's highly doubtful that Joss will see this, but maybe someone close to him will, and will pass this along:

I have several friends who are either deaf or hearing impaired. They are Browncoats, and dearly love the Movie. Their one big complaint, though, about DVDs in general, is that there are No Subtitles or Close Captioning available in the Extras section. All the added documentaries, the gag reel, even the fruity Oaty Bar jingle.... they want to know what's being said.

I think it would be a ground breaking move for Joss to include either subtitles or program in close ccaptioning for the Extra Features. It'll be yet another Browncoat First!

Thanks.

Oh, great... "Joss, we love you, you're GOD, Serenity is PERFECT, except you did it wrong when you deleted these scenes, you have to put them back in. We're the fans and we should know. You only created it."

OK, I'm being snarky. But, come on, can't you let a guy decide how his own movie should go? Or are you studying to be Fox studio executives in your spare time?

Hey, everybody has the right to hope for more. It's not like everyone's saying, "UGH! If I don't get this and this, I will never buy this edition!" Besides, I think closed captioning is a pretty reasonable request.

Sorry, maybe I was unclear -- I wasn't referring to requests for closed captioning. I was referring to the people saying the scenes that were filmed and deleted should be edited back into the movie.

SHAMELESS

Saturday, March 3, 2007 10:38 PM

Ah, yes. Yeah, in my opinion, I would love to get more deleted scenes in the deleted scenes section, but I have to stand with Joss on this one: He never wants to make a Director's Cut - ever, because his final cut, to him, is (ie should be) the best the movie could be.

By the way, does anybody know why there was/is such a furor over the Serenity cover art? I liked it, llamas and all (though the random hordes of people in the background made it feel like it held a hint of zombieness). River looks so shiny!

River didn't look real though - and the color scheme is... eh. Just weird.

But yay for more! Anything more is good, I'm not particular.

And while I would love to see the deleted scenes added back in again...I will bow to Joss' wishes. He thinks what we got is the Director's Cut, then it's the Director's Cut without question

Thank you, Shameless. I think this is a good cause, not just for the BDM but for Any DVD, including the FF Box set. Deaf and Hearing Impaired Folk are as entitled to know what's in the Special Bonus Features as the rest of us. I find it odd and unfair that they can't. The only reason I can think of for Studios doing this is expense. It can't really cost That much, but they save some bucks by skipping captioning on the extras. -And that's wrong.

What you are asking for would eventually lead to LESS extras because it would indeed be "too expensive" to put captions on every one of them.
I'm not saying that's how it's supposed to be, but that's how it is.
So my guess is that the only way you would get closed captions on all extras of a movie would be as a PR stunt, and even that's unlikely.
Not trying to rain on your parade, but I guess there aren't "enough" hearing impaired people around to be worth the effort. I do in no way condone this, but that's the way the business world seems to work. If it wouldn't, we'd all have had our sequel by now for sure, and wheelchair ramps on every building, for that matter.

After having my wisdom teeth pulled and being half-asleep the past two days, this is great news! I ams SO glad that we American folks can finally get our two-disc Serenity. This year looks to be very good for the Browncoats, what with Firefly Visual Companion: Vol. II and Serenity: Better Days, and now Serenity: Special Edition!

Anyone else looking forward to a, hopefully, improved box art?

Heck, if cost is the object, I'm sure there are plenty of fans who would gladly volunteer their time and effort to do transcripts of the special features. You can put me on the list, for one.

Hey, you don't have to convince ME. But even if there were transcripts, they would still have to be implemented, and there could be legal issues we're not aware of.
I know that Fans are sometimes helping with the translation of TV shows into German (because they usually suck, which pisses of the fans - AND THE GERMAN VERSION OF FIREFLY IS THE BEST PROOF FOR THAT - HORRIBLE), so there is some kind of co-operation between companies and the fans, but I don't know if it's like that in other countries.

My deepest apologies to All.... I have been informed and tested it myself... There are subtitles in the dvd extras for Serenity... But not for the Easter Egg. So I apologize for my mistake, but Still hope that Joss adds captioning to the Easter Egg.

I'm not sure, but my deaf friends may have been referring to the Firefly Box set, because I know there's no way to activate subtitles for the extras there. If we ever get a special edition of That, well.... along with an Apology from Fox, subtitles in the extras would be nice! :D

Here's a lark; a cast commentary with them all commenting In Character; as if they were real people who the movie was about! But later got to see it... like 20 years later. For Wash, it turns out the "real" person lived, so he still gets to comment (it was just in the movie/story about them, he dies ;-) ).

No, seriously, giddy isn't even close ... maybe ecstatic? Or overjoyed? Or just gorram happy?

I cannot wait to see this and I only hope that Joss gives us all those shiny extras we love. I for one, hope there aren't a bunch of Easter Eggs - I prefer to have them all listed in a nice, shiny menu that's easy to navigate ... I hate looking for them!

Monday, March 5, 2007 5:56 AM

WOW!

Why hasn't anyone talked about how this is a good sign for a Big Damn Sequel?

This special edition means Universal has been looking at the DVD sales and doing the RESEARCH to see if a special edition is worth doing.

And it was!

Like a previous poster said before...

BUY THIS DVD!!!!

BUY 10 COPIES!

BUY ONE FOR YOUR GOLDFISH!!

I've got a massive feeling this 'special' DVD is Universal testing to see if the fanbase is still alive and kicking. Lets show them they are!

Joss getting back together with all the crew will also re-invigorate him to push for a sequel.

This is the best news of I have heard re. Firefly/Serenity since my mate said... "I've got a movie on DVD you would like."

Woooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

THEONETRUEBIX

Monday, March 5, 2007 7:50 AM

I would think it's not so much testing the fanbase as simply knowing the fanbase would clearly accept having to "double dip" and buy a special edition even though it already owns the first one.

Don't get me wrong, I have no idea what Universal is thinking. But realistically, the cost/benefit analysis on spending money to produce a new version of something they know for a fact has sold well (the DVD) is very different then the cost/benefit analysis on spending money to produce a sequel to a movie which failed at the box office.

I find it a bit odd that people get so agitated about the ending of the BDM. Havent any of you seen Buffy, she died like 3 times and still managed to live through the final episode.

Trust Joss!

This may just be the hopeful in me.

But this may be a test to see if there is still interest in the BDM.

So when this comes out. Make sure you BUY BUY BUY.
