Don't know if anyone's thought of or mentioned this yet, but is anyone else looking forward to the sheer comedic brilliance of seeing the Serenity trailer on Fox? I mean, I know many of us aren't even WATCHING Fox at this point, but still - the absolute joy of seeing a preview for a movie that we will make a success, being broadcast on the network that killed the show it is based on. That thought makes me .

Now that would be ironical.

Well, as a rule I say girl folk ain't to be trusted.

Of course, Fox won't air the trailer until after Serenity has left theatres. . .

That, or they'll run it during one of their crappy reality shows. "stay tuned to see a preview for the movie from the tv show that we kicked off the air coming to your big screen but not to this tv channel because we were tools and endorsed reality tv instead"

Keep shiny!

Poetic justice indeed if Fox airs the trailer for the movie. I bet some of those Fox execs are scratching their heads wondering how much money 'Versal will be bringing in w/ the BDM.

Show it in reverse? We'll be lucky if they don't tell 'Versal they don't like it and want it to be redone so they can fit it into their slot.

I can see it now:

Some FOX exec is sitting with the Board of Dumbass Directors, and the trailer is screened for them in their private auditorium.

At the end, the exec looks around, and says "Hmm, a bunch of folks scraping a living in a ship through the galaxy, a couple of former army buddies, a doctor and his sister on the lam, a wise cracking pilot, a preacher, a gun-toting muscle brain, a cute girl mechanic, and a space whore... you know, this might make a good TV series..."

The other idiots on the board nod.

"Think we can re-tool it a bit, maybe have them give a diary confessional at the end of each episode, video tape them getting attacked my space animals?"

Coming, Fall 2006, on FOX:
"Serenity: Outer-Planet Challenge"

Ah, yes... Beagles and space monkeys...

*sigh*

At this point, I figure Fox will air it if they're paid enough, cuz that's all they're really interested in is short term profits.

I do wonder what they (as in 'Versal/Joss/TPTB) will do with the trailer as far as structure and content. Personally, I do not want it to be like the majority of trailers, lately, that completely give away the majority of the movie. The trailer for Bourne Supremacy was probably the best trailer I've seen in years. Not only did it not give away the story (much), but it actually misled you, using dialogue and scenes out of context to give you the wrong impression. If they do that kind of work, I'll love it!

But hey, that's just me...
