Gorram it. This is just typical. If they had real faith in the BDM they'd put it up against the other April movies. I hope he's not getting bumped for some Universal exec's pet project.

I know I did.

Weren't we all just a bit nervous about the effect of releasing it so soon in relation to Star Wars EP3?
Just a bit, really, and only 'cause of the monster promo budget SW will have.

At least now (not that I'm *remotely* happy about the wait) the furor over Star Wars can die down and we can TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!
I still think we might have been better off in April. I have faith in Joss, & I have faith in George Lucas. Star Wars will suck. I think there'll be a lot of folks exiting the cinema, next spring, searching desperately for something to get that rancid taste out of their mouths. Amidst the almost deafening grumble, a clear voice will ring out, "Let's go see Serenity, again" A hush falls over the crowd . . . "in another four months."
Lost opportunity,
Keep the Shiny Side Up

Well, personally, I still think that Star Wars Ep Three would have been a concern. It's SW and you just know that people are gonna turn out to it, if only out of curiosity to see how bad it is. (Myself included among those numbers...) Perhaps pushing the release date was a good thing... though the extended wait is very bitter, I'll admit.
Still, it does give me more time to get an Alliance naval officer's uniform ready.
I've never gone to a film in costume before, and it should be a treat to do so.

The delay is sad news indeed. I take heart in the fact the studio seemed genuinely pleased with the film, despite remaining reatively free of the digital effects. That says something. We can only hope this is for the best and keep on flyin'. Till then, keep telling your friends about Firefly. When you run out of friends.....just tell everyone else.

I honestly don't think that Serenity will do as well in the midst of all the summer blockbusters (something Universal recently learned from The Chronicles of Riddick).

I never liked the April release date for Serenity. I think September is much better. It was never going to do blockbuster type numbers (but would have done pretty well). Now with no competition in September, they should do very well. Now it has a chance which it didn't before. Yes we've gotta wait, but I love the idea of showing a Serenity trailer in front of Ep III. :)

No wonder my HSX stocks for Serenity has been falling..
Yeah, this slight drop wiped out 90% of my lifetime profits. I must be being punished for not visiting Fireflyfans.net in several weeks.

after a painfull stunned silence on reading this news I continued to read responces and still saddened but hopefull. I hate patience but patient I will strive to be. I know no matter what, the movie will be worth the wait. This gives me time to bring others into the fold. I will have to change some vacation time around. Maybe we can get that deal Joss has going with Dark Horse comics for the Serenity comic. This gives our BDH more chances to goto conventions to promote the BDM. Hint for anyone who has any connections with Creation entertainment. I'm going to the con in Seattle may 13-15 with the gold seating and would love to see the lovely ladies of Firefly/Serenity.
Well keep flying a little while longer
