Vi står först i kön FX? 

Japp , det gör vi

[Robert Jonsson]

Ni får väl göra som ungdomarna - ställa sig och tälta utanför två veckor i förskott även om det inte är någon biljettrusch

[Marie Morot]

Vi är givetvis mycket smartare än så och bokar biljetterna i förväg, så att vi garanterat får de bästa platserna.

[Forever Xena]

You said it Marie

[Peak]

Boka biljetter är fusk..

[Marie Morot]

Nu tror jag iofs inte att det kommer att bli sådan rusning till filmen att det blir några problem att få tag i biljetter öht. Möjligen om filmen blir en kioskvältare i USA att fler får upp ögonen för den här också.
Jag hoppas att den går upp på stans bästa biograf bara ...

Håller med FX och hennes smilies till 100%

Wow. Ser bra ut, men jag känner att jag har sett alldeles för lite av tv-serien. Är filmen fristående eller krävs det förkunskaper?

[Robert Jonsson]

Joss har själv sagt att en biofilm måste stå på sina egna fötter, utan någon tidigare kunskap hos publiken. Förhandsvisningar för folk som inte sett teveserien säger att de älskade filmen och förstod utan problem. Så du behöver inte ha sett något av teveserien alls innan.

trailern hänger sig i slutet, precis när texten serenity kommer upp men resten ser bra ut! älskar fortfarande jaynes "let's be bad-guys"

Dock så finns det ingen som helst anledning att inte se TV-serien före. Underbart bra, och man får med all säkerhet ut mer av filmen på det viset.

Ser helt OK ut (tailern alltså) äger jag som inte sett en endaste sekund av serien.

Whedon flock ready for 'Firefly' resurrection
By Anne Thompson  Fri Jul 22, 9:29 AM ET

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Now that "Star Wars," "Star Trek" and "The Matrix" are fading into the sunset, what will take their place in the hearts of sci-fi fantasy fans?
ADVERTISEMENT

TV auteur Joss Whedon and Universal Pictures are hoping that it's "Serenity," his movie version of 2002's aborted Fox space Western TV series "Firefly," which opens Sept. 30.

Universal launched its grass-roots awareness campaign for Whedon's directing debut in April, recruiting Whedon's loyal fans to help sell "Serenity," which features the original "Firefly" cast. The studio previewed the rough cut nationwide in markets where "Firefly" performed best, culminating last weekend with a rousing screening at the Comic-Con International confab in San Diego, where Whedon and his cast conducted a panel for fans.

Back in 2001, when Whedon sat down to write his follow-up to the two hit Fox series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel," he wanted to try his hand at a space Western.

"I thought, 'Wagon Train' in space," he said on the phone from Cape Cod, where he is conceiving his upcoming "Wonder Woman" script.

He didn't know that Gene Roddenberry had set out to do the same thing back in the 1960s, when he created "Star Trek," a smart TV show that was saved by its fans.

History is repeating itself.

Starting Friday night at 7, the Sci Fi Channel is showing all 13 episodes of "Firefly" -- in the correct order.

"Fox never got the show," Whedon said. "It was a bad match." After premiering the series late after a World Series game and running 11 episodes out of order, Fox dropped it.

"I told the cast the day the show was canceled that I would not rest until I found another home," Whedon said. "I felt like I had let them down."

Not wanting to admit failure was part of it, too, Whedon admits. "I didn't want people thinking that the show didn't work. Nothing I've ever done has ever emerged so instantly. Even the pilot was the way it should be. There was never an awkward growing phase. It felt right. Every actor felt so right, they worked so well together. I couldn't bear to let the universe go, or let the actors out of my sight."

When overseas markets demanded a DVD release, Fox Home Entertainment complied. The "Firefly" DVD sold more than 200,000 copies.

Whedon felt vindicated. Having soldiered in the feature screenwriting realm on "Toy Story," "Titan A.E." and an unproduced "X-Men" script, Whedon told Universal executive Mary Parent that he wanted to make his directing debut on the movie version of "Firefly." She checked out the DVDs.

"Write it," she told him.

Renamed "Serenity," after the Firefly-class ship that scours outer space, the $40 million alien-free movie will register with "Firefly" fans without confusing people, Whedon says. And the movie retains the show's homemade feel. "It's like the ship Serenity herself," he said. "Crappy but scrappy."

"Serenity" reunites the original TV cast of nine shipmates in a dysfunctional family. That was the deal. There was never a question of upgrading the cast, though Universal did consider hiring a name villain -- and then dropped it. Added to the youthful ensemble headed by Canadian actor Nathan Fillion, who plays a jocular Kirk-like captain on the mercenary freighter, are archvillain Chiwetel Ejiofor ("Dirty Pretty Things") and David Krumholtz ("Numbers") as a hacker hermit. At Comic-Con, dancer-actress Summer Glau's martial arts scene drew thunderous applause and an Ain't It Cool News rave.

What generates this powerful response? "What captivates the fans is an entire world they can go to," Whedon said, "that feels complete, thought-out, genuine, that they can live in for a long time. From the first show, we made sure every character had their own patch of ground. Conflicts become the story. Everybody plays off everybody."

Said Anna Kaufman, arts editor of the Daily Californian in Berkeley, Calif.: "You feel for the family of nine characters and their well-being. They all have interesting dynamics, pasts and secrets. They're thrumming with life." Kaufman checks the many Web sites devoted to Whedon, "Firefly" and "Serenity" (including http://www.cantstopthesignal.com) for updates on the movie. "I'm greedy. I want more," she adds.

In October, when Universal's co-president of marketing, Eddie Egan, booked a routine rough-cut preview in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley, he was amazed by the explosive response from the research-screening recruits who were clearly rabid "Firefly" fans. He wanted to know just how they had learned about the screening.

It turned out that one fan had identified the movie and tipped off her entire "Firefly" community (known as "browncoats") with one Internet post. Some of them had driven from Arizona and Seattle, Egan says. Universal, deciding that it had something bigger than it thought, pushed the action adventure off of its spring lineup and into the fall.

The studio staged three waves of word-of-mouth sneak preview screenings (which do not advertise the name of the film) in 35 cities where "Firefly" had earned the best ratings, including Toronto and San Francisco. Each time, Whedon posted fan screenings on his blog: once, with a link to a Fandango site where they could order tickets. Each time, all the tickets were sold within five minutes. Fans return for repeat viewings, Egan says, bringing new people with them.

"As the industry struggles to redefine the paradigm of the movie business," Egan said, "and what makes people go to movies or avoid them, a piece of text on a Web page sold out theaters."

Sci-Fi Storm idag uppger att det släppts en ny trailer på filmens hemsida... Gamla nyheter kanske?

New U.S. Serenity trailer online
-- posted by Doc on Saturday July 30, @07:51AM

    A new trailer has gone up at the official Serenity web site. It's looking pretty good. Time to catch up with the repeats on the SCI FI Channel.

Trailern ser väl okej ut (har sett ett par avsnitt av serien), men filmen lär knappast bli någon kommersiell succé, då främst bara scifi-fans lär gå och se den. (Jämför med andra hardcore-scifi-filmer som Supernova, Event Horizon och Wing Commander).

SERENITY
25 november

Kapten Malcolm Reynolds är en hårdhudad veteran som kämpat och förlorat i ett galaktiskt inbördeskrig. Nu reser han runt i världsrymden med sitt rymdskepp Serenity och livnär sig på frakt av varor och passagerare och även en del mindre brott. Med sig har han sin lojala besättning, ett ungt , tufft gäng av båda könen. SERENITY är ett våldsamt sci fi-äventyr baserad på kult TV-serien Firefly, som var en makalös succé i USA, både på TV och DVD. Regisserar gör Joss Whedon, mannen bakom Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel och, just, Firefly.
