I would like to see a Final Cut including the 'Rocket launch' scene. Somehow that seems appropriate for a FF/Whedon scene as opposed to a Universal Studios influenced scene.
Hell, I'm ready for Serenity 2: Inara's Story or Shepard's Tale.
I can dream, it's allowed.

So, you saw the first pre-screening ? I saw the 2nd round, and I don't recall there being such a scene. Maybe there was, and I was just glossed over it, having seen the 'final' version so many times. I think I recall thinking, if it DID go off, being a "futuristic" bottle rocket, it would really have to be something special. Maybe break atmo , and release a cannister of ashes into orbit ?
Don't recall that scene.

Joss has said several times that his Director's Cut is the movie that was released to theaters on September 30, 2005.

I thought it was released September 20. Am I wrong?

I'm in the UK where they showed a cut in February 2005 - no original music, lots of unfinished effects (the bit with Serenity crashing was almost entirely wireframe) and quite a few bits I haven't seen since - for example, we see Fanty & Mingo tied to a chair, the Operative approaching them scalpel in hand. As I recall, the fireworks looked a little generic, possibly stock footage but it was still a neat transition. Lost in time, like tears in rain.

Why did you in the UK get such an early viewing ? no fair! I think the first viewings over here weren't until May ?

I am sure it was Sep 30. Perhaps you are confusing it with the fact that Firefly premiered on Sep 20, 2002.
