I was disapointed that DVDTalk didn't get a quote in that trailer. After scanning through our review for Firefly: The Complete Series, I recommend the words "edgy" or "compelling" as potential candidates.

I totally agree with all the non-fans of the show that are less than thrilled by the trailer. I think they should have put a lot more Inara in the trailer, just to market a hot chick a little more (at least I think she is hot) & definitely should have changed the tag lines to the trailer. I agree it kind of felt more like a trailer for a new Sci-Fi channel movie rather than a major motion picture. But I still can't wait for it.

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.

It makes sense that a trailer this far in advance would appeal more to the fans since non-fans may see it in passing and forget about it in 5 months. Now a month or 2 out and I would hope to see a wider audience styled trailer that'll make non-fans go "that opens soon, I guess I'll check it out."

As a person who's already a huge fan of the show, I didn't need any prompting to get me out to see the film. That's a pretty sweet trailer. I tried to look at it objectively, as someone who maybe hadn't seen the show, but had a hard time. (I was too geeked up). I can see how people who haven't seen the show might not see a difference between this and other sci-fi movies, and I can also see how everything made more sense to me and MEANT more to me, having seen the show. I too hope they do another more "generic" trailer to bring in non-fans.

Thanks for the trailer linky.
Now I'm pretty geeked to see this on the big screen. Dare I say it - it looks as if they have improved upon the short-lived series.

jesus, a second rate sci fi film based on a canceled fox show from the guy who made buffy AND angel?
I think I'll pass on this one.
I dig fanboy shit, but this might be a bit much for me
and come on, that trailer was really fucking awful

Do you practice, or does this come naturally, like diarrhea?

Didn't get tickets 
This super-sneak-peek looks like a good way to build a great word-of-mouth campaign. These sneaks are going to be packed with dedicated fans who're going to come out raving about the film and with a renewed interest to get everyone they know to go see the film.
Those tickets sold out fast. I wonder if Universal was anticipating this rabid a response for the sneaks, and whether they may consider more sneaks in the future. Maybe once a month until the film comes out?

The tickets sold out amazingly quick. I wonder if the same questionaire will be passed out at these events, though. Speaking of which, how does one get tickets to the Thousdan Oaks showings Jack and Gizmo mentioned?

I actually went by the Atlanta Regal 24 to see if tickets were to be had during lunch, but came up empty (I knew it was a long shot as the Fandango site was messed up, but one time it said the show was sold out). Grr...
