haha! I'm moving to Australia 6th of february and i'm arriving 8th :D

Guess what will be the first mission when i get out of the jet? Food yes...but second then :)

edit: personally i like this cover art best:



Its simple, and thats what i like.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Joss said Serenity would not be rereleased as a special edition. I hope they don't personally, I think it's an unfair marketting trick.

However they could easily make up a second disc, there's loads of stuff they could put on it. The River Tam Sessions for example.



As someone said above, Joss said there'd be no "Director's Cut", which does not rule-out a feature packed "Special Edition".

And when it comes down to it, the decision is up to the studio, not Joss. Universal could release 12 seperate versions if they chose to. Not that I'm expecting 12, but I absolutely expect a 2nd release. Universal is notoriouse for "Double (and even tripple) Dipping".

Both are better than the original art. I prefer the simple version too, but the R2 cover matches closely with the international posters. Hopefully this will help people who were interested by said posters, but ultimately didn't make the trip to the cinema, to identify it on the shelves, and thereby boost sales.

Hi, i was thinking of waiting for the uk release of serenity but i`ve noticed the running time is about 4 minutes shorter (115mins compared to 119mins). Does anybody know if this is correct and the film has been cut for the uk version (R2). If so i guess i`ll have to get an import version. If `Chronicles of Riddick` is anything to go by the cut version of that totally ruined a brilliant film.
cheers

It's not cut, it's just that PAL shows things 1/25th faster than NTSC.

Curious. When it says "Exclusive to Aussie dvd", does that mean it will NEVER be on another release besides that one, or are they just saying that out of the three versions available, this is the only one (right now) that has them?

Does that make sense?
