Hmmm...
The way I see it, Into the Blue follows the Same law as Dukes of Hazzard. Lackluster movie attempting to find redemption in a moderatly hot girl.
Unlikely.

Anyone remember "Honey"?
Didn't think so - it was the last movie that was promoted as nothing more than "Scantily-Clad Jessica Alba".
Fantastic 4 and Sin City did well because they were comic-book/fantasy films, not because Jessica Alba was in them. It didn't hurt that she was in them, but that's not why people went.
Still, I bet Dark Angel fans will feel vindicated if "Into the Blue" bests "Serenity" on opening weekend.....

Yeah, I don't get the idea of an "Alba thing." Hollywood is literally overrun with "hot" actors and actresses; they're so common you could cast the same pair in any cheese/beefcake movie interchangably and it would make no difference. So why would anyone give a rat's rectum that a particular cut-out Barbie doll from the masses is appearing in this film? Please. My advice to horny teens is grab a summer clothing catalog and lust over pages of models in bikinis, then spend your movie-going money on Serenity.

I don't know what your problem is, but I bet it's hard to pronounce.

See, I don't think Into the Blue has an "Alba" thing going (although I just now made the Dark Angel connection and am finding it highly amusing) as much as it has a "hot girl in a bikini" thing.
Yes, the Serenity girls are far hotter (even moreso because they have brains, too. Sometimes highly addled brains, but what's life without the threat of soup in your hair or being killed in your sleep?), but that doesn't exactly come across on the trailers...
I do like the idea about hanging out in the lobby afterwards. I will definitely do that.

Quote:The reason I'm worried is because they did NOT show Jewel, Gina, and Morena in the TV previews--and only a couple shots of Summer. The Into the Blue spot showed Jessica Alba in a bikini about 4 or 5 times I think.

Huh? - Serenity has Jewel Staite in dirty coverall sexiness, Gina Torres being a beautiful badass, Summer Glau kicking ass, and Morena Baccarin looking gorgeous with a Bolt Gun - what's the question??
I'm not worried about the 2 movies competing (I know ours is better) as much as I am how the TV spots will influence opening weekend. Does that make sense?

Hey, I'm the biggest damn Dark Angel fan out there, but I'll rent Into The Blue, Serenity is the real deal, and I think most DA fans will agree (sorry, Jess...).
If Miss Alba is smart, she'll petition to be in the Serenity sequel....
in a bikini....

My worry re Jessica Alba? She needs to eat more. I saw way too much ribs and hipbones in that trailer.

But don't forget about that segment (which, I believe by now to be fairly small) that very much loathes anything Firefly because they blame it for Dark Angel's cancellation. They'll be the people outside the theater that probably haven't bathed in a couple of days trying to get people to go see Into the Blue instead of Serenity. If you see them, just go up and say something witty, preferably from the movie or show. Use words with more than two syllables, that tends to confuse them.

Oh, right! I completely forgot about that. No worries about ItB, then :).
