I personally would absolutely LOVE if the BoS was in the BDM....having the opportunity to sing the theme at thw top of my lungs in a theaterfull of browncoats would just be too damn cool!!

I see what people mean about getting used to the theme, but once you do it just strikes you as so brilliantly perfect for the show. And, I'm also inclined to agree that no one is going to walk out of a movie theater because of the theme song. Obviously they can't cut it like on TV with Teaser-Theme-Show, something much more substantial has to be going on in the background of movie credits, but a reference to the original show theme would be nice.

I would love to do the same, but you know we will go to a special Hell for that, right?

So I don't want it to open the movie so much just because it'll be off putting to a larger audience.

What I'd like would be for it to close the film - you know Mal's saved River from the Reavers and Blue Sun - he makes a joke in a low angel BDH shot and just then the guitar riff kicks in and we hit the credits! - That way the fans are super happy and the non-fans don't notice anything - they're walking out the door hoping there's not a line in the restroom!

I loved the song from the start... Hopefully they will include it in the BDM.

LMAO...yknow, I think we'd get a pass on the special hell thing, considering that its our BDM...

That made me think of The X-Files movie and composer Mark Snow. He worked on the film, and the main theme for the movie was a tweaked version (with more instrumentals) of the TV theme. It's not the exact music, but there's enough of the TV theme in there that fans can hear it.

I don't see why they couldn't use the Firefly TV theme music and mesh it with the main Serenity movie theme, whatever that will be.

ETA: I loved the TV theme from the first episode, too. Well, I do love country music, so that may have had an effect. In fact, when I watched Serenity, at the time I think I liked the music more than the actual episode!

I say just as an unobtrusive in-joke. The characters don't react to it.

There's too many people for whom the song is a huge turnoff, but are still like the show. I'm thinking that's going to be more like the general public's opinion. I like it, myself, just for the fact of having a country song as a sci-fi show's theme, instead of soaring overtures and such.
