Well you're not going to avoid seeing the trailer by skipping the movie that it premieres with, but if you don't go to any movies or watch TV until the end of September you should be safe. I personally hope to see a lot of the trailer because that will mean that they are doing a good job marketing the film which in turn means that a lot of people will go see it (in theory).

A more interesting discussion topic is how spoilery will the trailer be. I'm guessing that directors don't have control over the content of a film's trailer, the marketing types do. What they have been doing for a while now drives me crazy: showing most of the damn film and all the good lines in the trailers. I understand why they do it, but please, give the audience some credit and entice us without giving the whole movie away. Sadly I'm sure the Serenity trailer will be no different, but I don't think it will ruin the entire experience of seeing the film because I'm wondering if a scene from the trailer is coming up soon. Sheesh.

Chris Buchanan has intimated that he is in charge of marketing. I seriously doubt that he would mess with Joss' vision and I do not expect spoilers.

If I am at the movies and there happens to be a trailer on the big screen in front of me, I'll watch. What I WON'T do is go see some crappy movie ( who said Elektra? ) simply to see a glimpse of Serenity. Capiche ?

Maybe they saw the new trailer?

Truly not looking promising at all. I'll probably stick to the radio series & the books.

Well, how's this for a deal: I've seen the movie and I will try to catch the teaser trailer as soon as it comes out. When it does I will give you an indication of how spoilerish it is and then you can decide for yourself.

Oh, that's a shame.

Looks incredible to me, I'm a big fan of several of the major actors. Like, oh, Tim (Martin Freeman) from The Office, Guy Fleegman (Sam Rockwell) from Galaxy Quest, not to mention voice overs done by Alan Rickman as Marvin and Simon Jones (the original Arthur Dent) as the Magrathean Announcer.

I love every version of Hitchhikers, up to and including the photo-picture book. And since DNA did do the screenplay (well, up until he shuffled off this mortal coil), I have every hope that the movie will be a truly enjoyable entertainment experience.

Folks who won't give it a chance, sight unseen, because they're afraid this movie will somehow tiptoe right over their vision of how it should be (despite the fact that they probably didn't have thing one to do with the genesis of the story to begin with), just make me tired and sad.

You saw the trailer to Hitch Hiker? I just saw a teaser of the world blowing up. Where can I find it on the net? I
