Here's a DVD cover I did back in the day. River REALLY creeped me out, so I had to do something.

What really bugs me the most is that they changed her eye color for the DVD cover. When I met Summer, the first thing that struck me was her absolutely gorgeous big brown eyes. Then on the DVD they're blue. Is blue proven to increase sales or something?

Oh well.

It does not look like Summer at all. On the llama cover, where does that big crowd come from? Was that in the film?
I also resent the fact that on the promotion material, all the BDH's have guns. Ok, Mal, Zoe and Jayne, But everyone else? I can count the times I've seen Wash with a gun on one hand, and Kaylee doesn't even like everyone else having them. I found a dvd cover, once that someone had labelled, and that captured it perfectly, but I can't find it now.

I had never even heard of the series before the movie. After FOX cancelled Dark Angel, I just kinda boycotted them. When I saw the preview for the movie, it showed River hanging from the ceiling, and I thought "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon." Then that image you were talking on the cover looked like the girl from "The Ring" that crawled out of the tv. And when it said "From the creator of Buffy and Angel" I was just confused. It was only because of a friend that I ever saw it. Needless to say I was hooked after that.

This is only one of so *many* similar stories I've
read here and elsewhere. There should be an
archive made for presentation to the
next organization which will be responsible for
marketing a follow-on SereniFly project should
we ever get one done.

Let me just say, the poster was an abomination (well let me resay it, it's been said before). When my family goes to see a movie, we usually walk around the theater and look at the posters for movies coming up, Serenity was no exception. First of all, Nathan doesn't look half as handsome as he normally does, and the man is damn good looking. The poster made me think it would be a corny movie like "Doom" or some other piece of movie. (a la Battlefield Earth) There was no appeal, nothing that would make me want to see it. Of course now I realize how wrong I was and regret full-heartedly never seeing it in the theaters. Crappy marketers, the only realistic possibility is that they're Reavers, hating all of human kind.

The llama cover is officially the funniest thing I've seen in years.

Somebody should make a llama fanvid...

There ISN'T one?
This is a serious omission.
And an insult to the llama community.

I remember when I went out to buy the movie, and I saw it was just going "Is that supposed to be River?" I was with my then-boyfriend, and he was saying "Wow! She looks sexy there!" And I was just going "It doesn't look like her at all!" which to me made it much less sexy. Then I saw the original shot used and said to myself "Oh see, now that is sexy! It looks similar, too..." Then I looked close and, like many others, noticed a few lighting a color changes.
Whatever. No one knows how to handle this property, it seems.

You don't have to "get" the Llama, you just have to believe.
