Check this out. It's a short movie that apparently has been loaded onto the file-sharing networks. Although it isn't immediatly obvious to the average viewer what it's about, us fans know it's a promo clip for "Serenity". There are some minor spoilers, so beware. Joss mentioned that universal had planned some viral marketing for the movie, and this looks like a great example. It's creepy.

I'm psyched! Just reading the responses on the ifilm site it seems to already have recruited some fans.

Wow, that's a very strange clip. I love that it's on ifilm, that's one of my favorite sites. If you're stopping by to watch the video, be sure to also check out Danny Brown's video, Balancing Point. One of the reviews said it was "magical" and they ain't wrong.

So where is this gonna be made available for download? Or is it just streaming?

It reminds me a lot of the end of Resident Evil Apocalypse. Which probably isn't a good thing.

But I think it's a great promo that should stir up more interest in Serenity.

Wow! I'm really impressed with 'versal's innovative marketing strategies so far!

Anyone else think the guy was being drained of blood with one of the blue-hands blue wandy thingies? Or perhaps they were training River to do this without the need for the wand?

Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

Very very odd clip. I assume that was river killing with her brain.

Creepy indeed.
