Indeed, this is the international trailer. They had several large prints of the poster at the Dutch pre-premier yesterday, and UIP has told us that this is indeed the international poster.

I would imagine they were thinking to draw in the sorts of people who'd go to see Scorpion King. Just saying.

I can see you.

Ofcourse I meant international poster, not trailer
By the way, there's a large version of this poster, and a wallpaper version on the Dutch UIP site. http://www.uip.nl/serenity.html

Damn! If I wasn't already a fan I would see the movie just based on this poster.

Still think its crap.. lol.. I'm an Aussie and i'm very disappointed.
Whats the go with the Serenity logo? so bad. The E's with the backward play buttons.. lol..
Oh well even if the promotional stuff sux the movie still rocks. I just hope everyone goes to see it. Joss deserves the praise. A great movie with a few surprises.

These really aren't complaints, just observations. Assuming I didn't know anything about Joss, BUFFY, ANGEL, or FIREFLY...
I would assume that girl's name is Serenity and that she's one kick-ass chick. And that incongruity would intrigue me.
I don't know what I'd think of the people in the background. They are so far behind this girl named "Serenity" that I would wonder what their connection to her is. Are they after her? Are they seeking her out so she can help them?
I might also think the movie had a post-apocalyptic setting.
I would never think that thing in the background was a spaceship. I probably wouldn't think anything about it.
I would wonder why that belly-dancer in back had a gun.
But I am a Whedonite so my reaction is that her pose is striking and more of an eye-catcher than the American poster. But I agree the background characters look stiff. Serenity itself should be more obvious. And why IS Inara packing heat?
Summer/River is so eye-catching though that I'd have to say it works but just barely.
Since I'm seeing the movie anyway, It could be a shot of the crew blowing their noses and I wouldn't care.
But as something to interest the general public the illustration might not jive enough with the slogan to pull me in.
As for those who are into genre stuff but are lukewarm towards Joss, I think they'd be the most likely to go "Pfft, he's just doing some other kind of version of BUFFY".

Hee. Oh, that made me laugh.

It's not unprecedented. She quite capably used a gun in "TRASH" when she locked Yo-Saff-Bridg in the dumpster.
Is it quite sad that my reaction to the poster (and the trailer and the movie) is more along the girly lines of "and *where* can I get me a pair of those boots?"
Man, they rock.

"And your head's up your..."
"Hey!"

This poster is awful.the only plus side it has is river's pose, but apart from that it doesent say serenity.The american poster has a feel to it,the aussie poster screams swords and scorcery wich the damn movie aint about.one last thing the american poster has river ,serenity,mal etc on the poster, but the aussie poster dosent even have the bloody ship on it.its like the aussie marketing is worried to call it sci-fi.
