Serenity Update...

Since when IS the trailer of ANY movie indicative of the movie as a whole?

I don't know about you, but I find a lot of trailers to be indicative of the movie as a whole- sometimes, so much so that I've pretty much seen the entire movie just based on the trailer.

In any case, I was simply referring to peoples' concerns about the lack of Bookage in the Serenity trailer. He's definitely in the movie, and from what I can tell, he's got a pretty large role to play in it.

Actually, no. I saw a quote from Joss about this. I forgot the exact wording, but the essence of it was this:

"Yes, there's sound in space in the movie. It sucks, but you pick your battles. If by giving in to the studio on this issue means I have the freedom to make the rest of the movie as I want, then I'm all about sound in space."

We DEMAND a directors cut without sound in space!

The "mute" button on my TV remote works just fine.

BTW anyone else wondering if that was a Reaver that popped up and roared in the middle of the trailer?

 

[Fast Learner]

Reaver was my guess.

Reaver is indeed what I was thinking. I want to see Jayne run like a little girl*. After all, Jayne is a girl's name.

*No offense is intended towards little girls. It is enough just to know Jayne considers it an insult.

So what film was the Serenity trailer attached to this weekend? My wife went with me to see Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy because we read in several places that the trailer was going to be on HHG, but it wasn't on our print. When we asked the theater manager, he said that there was not trailer for Serenity on any of the films they were showing (and they had multiple screens of HHG).

Wasn't in mine, either. Star Wars, Herbie, and a couple of others, but no Serenity. C'est la vie. September 30th. C'mon, October!

Damn, we didn't get Star Wars, either! We had Herbie, Shark Boy & Lava Girl (god that looks AWFUL, even for a kids film...), batman Begins, Chicken Little, and a few others.

We didn't get it, either, though I suspect our daytime showing affected things. We had Herbie, Shark Boy, and some others, including Zarthura (the only genre ad we had -- no SW or Batman -- if you don't count Shark Boy).
