Calling all Browncoats!!!

Last Friday, the first half of the pilot episode Serenity aired on SciFi channel in the U.S. This coming Friday, they will re-air the first half at 6:00pm (5:00 central) followed by the second half. For all those who ever cursed Fox for airing the series out of order, here's an opportunity to bring more browncoats into the fold with the whole story told in the right order. Plus, a brand new trailer will also debut during the airing of the 2nd half of the pilot! As reported on the UB:

Quote:

"New Serenity Trailer to Debut on SciFi
Tune in to SciFi this Friday night to see the world premiere of the brand new Serenity trailer! The final domestic trailer for Serenity will premiere on the SciFi channel, Friday, July 29th between 7:45-8PM EST during the airing of "Serenity Part 2". It will have its Internet premiere shortly thereafter (more details to come) and will be in theaters in August.

Yes, get the word out for those that need to be told.

And Universal is doing their part. I just saw a large flash ad on IMDB for the new Serenity trailer airing during Friday. This ad will grab people's attentions.

But I don't believe this is the last chance to recruit people before the movie.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

Shiny! Did you save a copy or get a screenshot you can share?

It's not the last, it's the last best! ;)

just go to IMDb.com and punch in "firefly" or "serenity," click on the listing and voilà! nice banner ad at the top of the page.

and if you're too lazy to type:

http://imdb.com/title/tt0303461/ or
http://imdb.com/title/tt0379786/

;)

It won't let me save because it is a flash ad plus a screenshot won't work since it moves. You'll have to go to the site to see it.

If you use Firefox, it's easy to save embedded flash objects. Just go to the Tools menu, choose 'Page Info' and then the Media tab. It will list all the objects on the page, and give the properties of each object when highlighted. You can then just scroll down the list until you find what you're looking for, click 'Save As' and presto!

Then, if you're clever at reading html, you can view the page source, and figure out the code to put it on your own web page, like so:

http://www.greek2me.com/

(Probably best to upload your own copy to your own webhost, as leeching an advertisement may attract lawyers.)

ETA: The flash banner itself is at: http://www.greek2me.com/serenity_trailer_banner.swf

Unless you're like me and you forget that you blocked all requests from ad.doubleclick.net/* ;)

So this is a completely different version to the international one - a third trailer?

I didn't even know there was going to be another one! Yey!
