 		Serenity/Firefly - trailer goodness!
Main trailer site
Direct link to large version (20 MB)
Direct link to full screen version (40MB)

Awesome? Indeed. I'm going to see the Hitchhiker's Guide movie this Friday, and I'm more excited about seeing this trailer on the big screen during the previews than I am about seeing the movie.

 		One of the two best decisions that Hollywood has made this century. The other one being, of course, H2G2.

Lordy lordy I can't wait for this flick and it's about time I see a trailer for it. *snort*

Edit: Do we know when Serenity is going to be released? On the IMDB it just gives an ambiguous '2005'.

 		After hearing how they mangled H2G2, I will pass on it and stick with the video of the BBC tv series...

I've never passed up a film for that reason.. i don't think... Very Happy
I'll be seeing the Hitchiker's Guide as soon as it hits the crappy Georgian theatres. I haven't read the book so I'd be pretty unbiased.
I saw the trailer on the previews for the Amityville Horror (remake), and it looked sci-firiffic! </dumb creation of words>. Laughing
Amityville sucked by the way, (of course), but I'll tell ya... I almost peed myself. Embarassed

 		Serenity movie sneak previews
I forgot to post the first email here:

Subject: A Message From Joss

Check out exciting news from Joss Whedon now on the Browncoats message boards!

http://browncoats.serenitymovie.com/serenity/index.html?fuseaction=forum.viewtopic&t=10230

Hey guys.

I'm here on the official site, so that can only mean one thing: somebody finally told me my password! (Again.) It probably also means that I have some big-ass announcement or other. Well tops on the announcement list is this: after months of intensive yoga, i can finally touch my toes! (They feel round and bunion-y.)

But there's more! I'm talkin' movie news, peeps, so no more drumroll: Trailer. Serenity. Tuesday.

Yeah, kids, the haps is hap'nin', and it runs thus: EXCLUSIVELY on Apple movie trailers (and linked through this site as well of course) will be a small, medium, large or FULLSCREEN trailer for Serenity the major motion movie. Yeah, THE trailer. And the following Friday said trailer hits theaters. Which theaters? Until I get confirmation you'll have to guess, but I'm betting you can.

Now, here's a word of warning: this trailer ain't shy. If you're looking to live totally spoiler-free, know that there's plenty of key dialogue and images running through this bad boy. It's pretty tasty, though, and it doesn't give everything away. But close scrutiny will definitely learn you much of what's to come. (Anakin TOTALLY goes evil.) It's a nice piece to while away the time till September, and hopefully should intrigue th' peeps that don't have coats of brown.

The only thing more exciting than y'all finally seeing this was showing it to Nathan. Like a schoolboy giggled he.

Bye-ee!

Joss "You can't take my toes from me" Whedon.


Then I just got another email today:

Hey Browncoats-



Joss has some special news for you posted on the message boards.



http://browncoats.serenitymovie.com/serenity/index.html?fuseaction=forum.viewtopic&t=10362s.



Well.

It gets better.

As thus: The movie is very nearly finished. You've seen many pretty images in the trailer. But I've still got work to do and you've still got months before you can see it.

Unless.

And, no, I'm not talking Australia (but Hi, Australia! anyway), I'm talking here in the more-or-less-United States, a one time multi-city Browncoat sneak event. Thursday, May 5th at 10:00 pm, the movie (Serenity! Pay attention! Jeez.) will be playing at exactly 10 theaters in 10 cities across the country. You (or possibly someone much like you) (or possibly a robot EXACTLY like you, but with better manners and sonic arm-lasers, sent to take your place) will be able to buy a ticket to see Serenity months in advance. Not just the bitty trailer with not enough Kaylee and Book, but the whole film, in its extremely almost completed state.

You probably have some questions. How is this possible? What cities exactly will it be in? What are these changes my body is going through? All valid. It's possible because some clown put a bunch of Universal execs in a theater full of Browncoats and dude, they came out SWEATING, they never seen energy like that. They loved it, and even though they were already wicked supportive of the movie (see: earlier posts re: we're making the movie) they simply weren't ready for you guys. When I whinged on about pushing the date and everyone here was posting about "what do we do till September", they agreed to let me sneak it out.

Maybe they thought it was a fluke. Maybe they wanna see if people really do care about the flick. Or maybe they're just treating us with respect and kindness, though that last option confuses and terrifies me as much as these changes my body is going through (I'm "perspiring" and becoming "interested in girls", which believe me is very unsettling when you're 40.) Does it matter? The plan works for me, and it can work for a select bunch of y'all. Here's what I know:

The cities to be hit are:

Seattle
Austin
Sacramento
Boston
Altanta
Chicago
San Francisco
Las Vegas
Denver
The Portland of Oregon

If you're in or near one of those, you might wanna stop by. There's supposed to be a "Can't Stop the Signal" page on this website (I don't know where it is -- hey, I remembered my damn password, doesn't that buy me any cred?) There should be more info there soon about how to get in, bringing peeps into the fold, I think there's even competetions and stuff. (All I know is I have exactly 20 Brownie points. I answered ONE triv Q and got it wrong. Forget cred. I have no cred.) Now a couple of us might just creep into one of those major metropolitan multiplexes to see if anyone does show up, so remember: swearing in Chinese ONLY.

All right. This will please the fans and satisfy the employers of Joss Whedon, so I must stop as my arm-lasers are getting tired. I politely thank you for your attention.

Should be fun.

-j.

 		To take 2 days off from work to go to Boston and watch the movie or not.

Decisions, decisions.

Apparently all the shows but Vegas are sold out already. Talk about going from a huge high: the trailer release, to despair: the Seattle sneak peek is sold out. Whaaaa.

 		we missed out
Curse them for choosing venues with so few seats in them. Now we have to wait five, count 'em five, months...all the while resisting downloading the illegal copy that will inevitably result.

 		Well, there's a bit of a rumor going around...someone I know on another forum went to the Atlanta screening theater to buy tickets. They were all sold out, but she was told that Universal would be having more screenings throughout the summer to build word-of-mouth. Sure, the theater people who told her this could have been misinformed, or they could have been making stuff up, but...it's such a shiny rumor!

*sigh*

New York! Do one in NYC! Sometime between May 17th and June 3rd!
(they can hear me, right?)

Incidentally, is this a common thing to do? Very early advanced screenings that are intended to get the fans insanely excited? Although...the fact that they're not even slightly afraid to show it to devoted fans is very impressive. Eeek!
*channels brainwaves to send screening request to Universal execs telepathically*

 		At least you aren't a day late, a dollar short, and 900 miles away...

Just call me Dolorous Marrec. Sad

The one saving grace in all this jealousy and sadness is that Serenity will officially be released a day after my birthday... happy birthday to me.

 		Heads up!

(apologies for the double post, but it's been a little while, and I can't help but feel that this deserves a bump! please note how I totally restrained myself to putting only one exclamation point at the end of that sentence.)

CRUSHING DISAPPOINTMENT...

...is not in store! Good things are coming... to a theater (possibly) near you!

It's Joss, your roving reporter, with another ZOWIE! exclusive(!) hot off the presses! Browncoats Bring Boffo B.O.! Vegas Vibe Very Vivacious! You heard it first here, true believers...

Okay, first of all, being that guy is exhausting. So no more roving and on to the meat of the thing. I just saw the whole cast today (which is in itself a wonderful and rare thing) and we all compared notes on the screenings, the general feeling being: damn. As in, Big Damn. You guys were SO sweet. We all thought it was a grand time. More (or at least just as) importantly, the Uni Brass thought it worked out great too, so... wait for it... there's gonna be more.

You might have heard rumors, but I'm here to confirm. On thursday the 26th the studio is doing another round of hit-and-run screenings, and this time it's not ten cities -- it's twenty. It's another vote of confidence from the studio and another chance for us to say "thanks" to you guys for keeping this all rolling. And most importantly, another chance to run that videotape of me before the movie, looking so tragically sexy.

"Wait a minute! What cities!?!?! Hey, %#$@face, stop talking about how sexy you are (although you are confessedly quite the dish) and give us the info!" Well, I don't actually know. I think we'll be repeating in the cities we've hit and adding 10 new ones. I expect can'tstopthesignal will have the info some time tomorrow, and let the manager-threatening begin! (Or, you know, the ticket buying.) Hopefully one of those cities will be near you, and won't be one where the film breaks and has to start again (heh heh... professional showbusiness... ). I don't know if any of the peeps is gonna be able to come out this time, but if they can they will, and I know Jewel's going somewhere 'cause she was working last time.

That's it! Except to add that Summer and I were pretty overwhelmed last Thurs, and I got the impression everyone else was too. Of course everyone else didn't have to put up with Summer's constant whispering of "I SAVED this film, Hackboy!" or her "surefire" system of winning at craps that had me down six large come the dawn... That girl. Just trouble.

Enough with this post. You guys are beyond swell. Let the party continue.

-j.


Ohhhh. You think they heard my telepathic pleas? Because I'm totally work-free and at home on the 26th. *NYCNYCNYCNYC*

I like it when optimistic internet rumors turn out to be true.
