What I love about a film that’s released on DVD are the out takes. What’s disappointing is when you view the out takes you wished they hadn't been removed. Eventually a Director’s cut, or extended version hits the market with the out takes restored. Has anyone heard of this happening with Serenity?

I agree it would be good with the out takes but the the scene with the Operative on the Alliance ship with his glasses would have been competely out of place in Serenity the set looks so dodgy and those Alliance soldier uniform's are so rubbish.

The scenes that were cut were done so for very good reason as Joss explains in the commentaries. As neat as some of those really are, for the flow of the story I understand completely why they were cut. However, I'd love to see some sort of double disc special edition with more documentary and fans stuff and whatnot.

As far as I've heard the film that was released was Joss's vision. He stands by it. It is the director's cut.

What Zeek said.

However, there could still be a "shiny edition" -- aka an expanded cut.

I saw the movie before the series, and after watching the deleted scenes, I realized I would have understood the characters and the plot a lot better if they'd been left in. For example; the Mal/Inara scene in her shuttle where he asked her why she left, etc.--it would've helped me understand their relationship a lot better. For people who were already fans, it was probably okay to delete the stuff that was taken out, but it would have helped first-time viewers A LOT if some of them had been left in.

Actually, ST, the scenes were left out specifically for first-time viewers. All the deleted scenes did was muddle the plot and slow the momentum (it's not verbatum, but Joss said it).

Besides, deleted scenes are goodies for the DVD, which encourages people to buy it - and then, they must know more about all the characters, so they buy Firefly. It's delighfully evil.
