Joss Whedon's Serenity on DVD - Dec 20th
|
Specs:
Universal has officially announced Serenity which stars Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk. This Joss Whedon directed sci-fi will be available to own from the 20th December, priced at around $29.98. The film itself will be presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen, along with English and French Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks. Extras will include a feature commentary with writer/director Joss Whedon, a director introduction, deleted scenes, outtakes, a Future History: The Story of Earth That Was featurette, a What's in a Firefly featurette and a Re-Lighting the Firefly featurette. Stay tuned for the official package artwork. |
Just in time for Christmas! :banana:
I hope that they do a better job than the TV Show DVDs. Mine apparently has LFE channel problems. When Serenity blasts off while in space, I never hear the "grumble" of the engines. :grunt: ...priced at around $29.98 |
ok, is the $29.98 SRP means this will be like SHaun of the Dead and stay overpriced for a few months? SotD was freaking $20 "on sale" first week.

Stay tuned for the official package artwork. Edit: this one <img src="http://www.fireflywiki.org/img/serenity-logo.gif"> |

I didn't know that Serenity featured a huge subterranean rave scene like in Matrix Reloaded :( I miss the theatrical poster now.
|
Hey, I LIKE the box cover...and that's Summer Glau at the top.
|
Where did all those people come from? It looks like a zombie movie now
|
Hands down: that cover art blows.

It just doesn't look like her from the movie....looks like she visited Glamour Shots. |

Yeesh, breakout the string and porkchops.
Hope the DVD sells well enough for at least a DTV sequel. |

hahaha! WTF is up with this cover??? Terrible. Summer has been photoshopped beyond recognition. Ah well. I'll still pick it up on release day.
|
That cover art is really quite ugly, and I am not too happy with the menus either. The menus aren't as bad as the cover art though. Bad. Bad bad bad. BAD.
Still, I am getting this, because the movie is awesome. I can't wait. |

Looks like this might be the one that gets me into making custom covers ;) I have to say the menus don't bother me as much as the cover though... |
can't wait for this!

Well, I'm obviously all over this DVD on release day... but that cover art is pretty terrible.

fyi. whedon's thing for the tv show was that 'there was no sound in space,' which i believe is based in fact, so there was no engine noise. they changed it for the movie i believe for the big space battle, and kept it like that for the entire movie for continuity |
This will be my Christmas present to myself from myself :)
|
I don't mind the cover or menus...maybe I'm just too in love with this flick to care... I thought today couldn't get any better with Star Wars and the Tragically Hip boxset, but then I find this thread and bam...awesome. I'm all over this and any double dips Universal has planned.

the sound in space in the film was really the only complaint I had about Serenity....I was disappointed it was not consistent with the tv show.... that artwork for the dvd is fucking atrocious. I really hope it gets changed. I sort of like the menus though. |
Looks good. I'm gonna get it largely, sight unseen. I saw a rather extended trailer some months back and it looks pretty cool. I bought the Firefly series but have not yet watched it. Do I need to watch it to understand the movie?

Spoiler:

I like the coverart...Glad to see the extended fight scene!
|
cover art is ok. i like the menus. really excited this is coming out soon, since it was one of my favorite movies of this year.

Plus, on the rare off-chance that you hate the show, you can save yourself the cost of the new DVD. ;) |
Summer Glau image
The image on the cover is taken from the first International Advance poster which is, despite Summer's vaguely feline appearance, a vastly superior poster.
|
Cover is ok, it will still be copped.
No DTS though, limp. Summer is :drool: no matter what :) |
I like certain parts of the cover but when they are combined like that they aren't nearly as appealing. The menus are kinda cool but I'm curious to see them in action.
|
I like the menu screens a lot; they remind me of those in the Alien Quadrilogy DVDs.
The cover art needs work though. I wish they'd show the ship and Malcolm Reynolds more than River. Also, for the review blurb, I'd rather they put a "two thumbs up" quote from Ebert and Roeper (which it did get I think) than the quote they used. Seems like more people would consider seeing it that way if they weren't familiar with it, but I could be wrong. Like the poster art, the DVD cover makes you think the movie is about a girl named Serenity. |

that artwork for the dvd is fucking atrocious. I really hope it gets changed. I sort of like the menus though. But as for that complaint. For the most part the movie stays true to the NO SOUND IN SPACE clause for the majority of the film and the only time it does deviant from that is when they are in the ion cloud and the planet's atmosphere so technically it is justified and ask Joss described it, could be there. The main reason was that no sound just tested terribly and pulled people out of the scenes. They see an expolsion and they expect a BOOM regardless if they are in space or not. So the slight change that the Ion cloud and Atmospher gives it that grounds to pull it off. |
What godawful cover art. They've managed to make the very innocently beautiful Summer Glau look like a porn star.
|
Sweet!! A Christmas present from me to me!!
