I agree. Joss is not the sort who would give away a spoiler of those proportions. Of course, that probably won't stop us from biting our nails during the movie whenever Mal's life seems to be in peril (Darn you, Joss!).

Wonderful news! I'm marking my calendar as we speak.

ROFLMAO!

That is great Kiara, and worth every penny to make Fox look foolish.

Today was (as I think you know) the first day of filming of Serenity. Which is pretty big for me (it felt weird to START with Mal's death, but scheduling isn't my area).

What? He's killing Mal again!? That's the third time by my count, but I may have missed one or two. Let's see: Niska killed him and then brought him back (applied the pulmonary stimulators and cardiac infusers), because he wanted his fun to last for at least two days; and then I think he actually croaked in OoG, but Simon resuscitated him ("Did I go somewhere?").

And now Joss is killing him again, and right off the bat at that. Mal's turning into a regular Duncan Idaho...

Respectfully,

Here's my only plausible guess: It'll be in the form of a Mal "deathbed confession" scene. There's been some hints of him having to do things he doesn't like in this movie (doesn't he always?) - maybe Joss will start with Mal, old and still ornery, admitting what he had to do way back when, a few years after the War.

I think it's not impossible, though rather clicheed. Otherwise, yes, Joss is just gettin' us all riled up.

He's a tease. Anybody notice how much of a tease Joss is?

He better bloody well be teasing.

April 22 2005 is in my Palm Pilot even as we speak.

Hm. Late April... so Universal isn't treating this as one of their big summer hits. In fact, it's kind of popping up in a part of the calendar where it won't have much to compete with one way or another. Wonder what to make of that.

April 22nd....looks like I'll be in Indianapolis for Star Wars Celebration III - BUT BEFORE YOU MOCK ME - hear me out.

Celebration II, there was nothing to do after the thing ended except go to the movies, and EVERYONE saw Spiderman (including actors in Star Wars). Spiderman became the top grossing film of the summer.

My forecast - Serenity is going to embarass the hell outta Lucas that weekend, grossing more money and earning better reviews. And it comes out before Ep III which means EVERY review is going to compare it (I can see it now "if lucas had the strong characters of whedon's Serenity...it lucas had a coherent plot like whedon's serenity...if lucas knew how to write intelligent and witty dialogue like whedon's serenity...." come on, join in!)
I say, top grossing film of summer 2005...maybe even in the top ten list.

I know I'm going to go to the movie that day, no matter what state I'm in, and maybe I can convince a few of the bajillion attendees to come with...bwhahaha!

Joss is so the man, but in a feminist agenda kinda way. I must forward this post to all my friends now.
