Heh-heh! When I said "sumpin's up with Jayne's natural", I meant his hair-do. That is one weird-a$$ hairstyle for the 'hired muscle' to wear. Like his orange tuque, if a man walks down the street in that hairstyle, everybody knows he's not afraid of nuthin'!
As far as the picture being spoiler-ish: Please enumerate the firm conclusions you've reached regarding the plot of the movie, based on this promo. It raises more questions than it answers, IMO...
Respectfully,
zoid
P.S.
I want more promos, not less.

Jumping back a bit...historically...
"Archaic weapons for 1000, Alex..."
"The original Mauser had a grip made from the wood of this household item."
"What is a broomstick handle?"
"That is correct!"
Just a bit of firearm trivia...for those with interest, it is why the grip was referred to as a 'broomhandle', it really was, originally.

I really like the new bulkhead. It gives a good feeling to where the centerline of the ship is in relation to the cargo hold. My guess is that it was changed for non-fans seeing the film - to clear up Serenity's interior layout.
Speaking of lasers; What does everyone think happened to the one featured in "Heart of Gold"? I hope the crew snagged it.
Re: the circular feature in the cargo bay: Yah! I'd thought of that, too. One could postulate that as the foreward end of a heavily reinforced structural mounting for the engine core (makes me really drool to see the new engine room! Wonder if they'll have the passage to the core include some stairs down to the centerline, like I'd always wished the TV set would have had...).
As far as Burgess' laser: I just don't think Mal was thinking clearly enough at the end to consider filching the thing. Alternately, there was a strong argument for leaving it for the HoG guys and gals, in case any of Burgess' hench-folks should decide to try for a little pay-back.
Is it April yet?!

Kaylee is wearing a watch,, why would they need a watch in outer space??
It looks more like some sort of wristband than a watch, to me.

It is neither a Luger or "Broom handle" Mauser. Far too drastic angles for either. Nor is it an old fashioned signle action design. Too many sharp angles. The photo is proving diffucult to enhance enough to get a better look but I'm workin' on it ;) Right now I can only tell you what it is not. Then again the gun in question could be a prop/modified design like Mal's. I am leaning towards that.
Now, considering how the have shown how firearms "evolved" in the show, whats to say the same thing about holsters? Many holsters IRL (Except for the fitted leather or plastic type) do not accurately signify what kind of firearm it holds/is designed to hold.
I like to think of myself as the chlorine in the gene pool.

Great looking pic!
I must admit the darker, more futuristic looking cargo bay may take a little getting used to for me.
I noticed right off hand that Book & Inara are missing, and it may very well be that they are the two w/ limited screen time.
We know that the movie starts out w/ Inara off the ship as she promised at the end of Heart of Gold. The trailer we saw at Dragon Con showed her in a Companion temple instructing.
Could be the Shephard is off the ship now too. Not sure why. Maybe at one abbey or another.
Great pic all the same!

Thought I'd jump in here and point out that this is a _promotional_ photo, which means is taken by a photographer at a time in the course of the shooting schedule when the actors are in costume and not needed, which may mean that Inara and Book may be shooting scenes at the time of this photo. As to the look of the ship, it seems to me that the cinematographer was _not_ the one taking this photo, so the lighting of the photo may not be what one sees in the film, what with different lighting and color timing in post and such. Suffice to say, Krad's read the script, and he's not too worried about character imbalance. Although I do agree about Jayne's hair. Maybe they'll fix it in post....

I agree with FahQ on the subject of it being most likely a modified version of a current weapon. None of the weapons the regulars carry or are identified with are actual weapons, they're mock-ups... actual weapons retooled to look more futuristic. Mal's and Zoe's sidearms and Jayne's Vera are all like this. Several of the "background guns" (many of those used by Niska's guys, for example) don't appear to be altered, though. I've seen Uzis, AK-47s, Browning BDAs and Beretta Model 92s, various shotguns, and I believe there was a first-generation M-60 LMG mounted on the hovercraft in HoG, and I think Book even used an old British sten submachinegun in the assault on Niska's Skyplex. This subject has actually kind of been a minor nitpick for me about the show... I realize it's the story and the characters that matters, but I wish they'd have gone just a bit farther to make all the slug-throwing type weapons not immeadiately recognizable. But then, that's me... 
Peace

The air is thick and still
The vigilanties gather on
The lonely, torchlit hill
