OH MY GOD! So, is it true, is Serenity really going to be released on JULY 29th?

Thank you to Pink and Fray! And Steve, you might be right...would explain a lot.

StevethePirate,

You may be right. I've asked around all morning and no one else has seen this new date, which seems highly unlikely. I actually just now called the theatre that my friend saw the trailer in. They have Serenity slated for September 30th. I asked about any date attached to the trailer, and they say they don't watch the trailers, so they couldn't tell me. Now she says it is possible that they have updated the trailers, and not yet updated their "scoreboard" (schedule of movies to be released). So we are still in the dark about it.

But gorram it, if someone else doesn't step up and say they have also seen a July release date soon, I'm going to go with your theory.

[Edited to add: I just got a 3rd email from my friend confirming that he saw the 7/29 date attached to the Serenity preview. I know him in a more professional capacity, and he is not the sort to pull my leg. The theatre is not confirming or denying it. So I am still waiting for someone else who has seen maybe the new Serenity trailer to step up and confirm.]

In my capacity as one of the admins at Whedonesque, I just received the following email:

"Yesterday in Huntington WV the Marquee theater showed Batman Begins. The Serenity preview showed before the movie and announced a 7/29/05 show date."

Make of that what you will, but I would have thought Universal would have made an announcement about the release date change if it's going out on a trailer.

My theory.

I hope, at least.

I'm getting less and less skeptical. Who wants to go see Batman Begins with me this weekend? Or at least go see the trailers before the movie

It's quite possible that Joss & Universal were waiting to announce the news at next week's preview screening, but some of the theaters jumped the gun and attached the trailer announcing the new date prematurely.

If this isn't resolved by next Thursday, I'm convinced that there will be an official announcement one way or another at the preview screening.

I just thought of a few issues with this theoretical release date. Does anyone know when the comic books are supposed to be out by. I know they start sometime in July but would they be done by July 29th?

Then there's the scifi channel showing of Firefly. Wouldn't that sort of be a waste if the movie is going to come out before they're even into the meat of the series yet?

Curiouser and curiouser.

Umm they really have'nt started advertiseing the movie yet, I mean the trailer hasn't been seen before many movies. So how do the exspect to gain enough buzz in little more then a month if no one not surfing the internet would hear about?

So if this release date is true then I'm not sure this is going to work well for the movies success.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the comics are scheduled for July 6, Aug 6, and Sep 6.
