In case you missed it, Joss hath announced: There shall be no Serenity until September 30. Wherefore I am alone and palely wandering into a hedge, or something like that. Sulky knights get all the best scenery.

*pouts* Damned stupid marketing reasons. How many space westerns with quippy yet disillusioned anti-heroes could there possibly be coming out in late April?

Wait. I take that back, or there'll be six.

Anybody in the Greater NYC area want to make an opening night outing of it, when it finally does arrive?

Hell, I may come down for the weekend just to join you!

I'll be there with bells on.

Well, apparently the movie version of Frank Miller's "Sin City" (a very cynical and hard-bolied comic book) is due in early April, and some of the bigger budget summer movies will be opening in early May.

But I don't get this either, and think that Joss' "this is not that bad at all" statement is covering for how he really feels. He just doesn't want to anger the new studio he's at, since they haven't bothered him much till now.

"Sky Captain" suffered a similar fate, getting bumped from summer to fall, and it vanished pretty fast. I wish I didn't see the same thing happening here.

That said, though, the original opening date for Serenity was right before Passover, so there was a good chance I wouldn't get to see the movie in the theaters anyway. September might work better.

But wouldn't we rather see Episode III delayed intstead

I'm actually pleased. That gives me more time to Netflix the DVDs.

It is? ::wails:: I wanted May! :;sulks::

Oh well. I'll bow to the inevitable... and that means the DVD's not likely to be out at Christmas now.

Waaaah!
I am so disappointed...

Count me in!

Forgive me, I assume you're talking about Joss Whedon and I'm gleaning that he has a movie coming out? Can you give me more information or direct me to a website when you have a minute? I'm a big buffy fan but I kind of stopped following him after the show went off the air.
thanks!

No matter how many other sci-fi westerns there may be, none of them have Jayne. Or Kaylee. ::sulking deeply::

That could possibly be a thing =)

hi - I wound up here from someone else's LJ (not sure whose) but I am so thrilled to see there's any release date at all! Last I heard, Serenity was just a rumor!

...skipping off to Serenity website now...

I like the idea of a big-ass outing.

It's not just Sin City that Universal's concerned about -- it's the XXX sequel, it's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (another cult SF property, but one with a lot more name recognition), and there's the danger of being swallowed by the Revenge of the Sith hype machine (let's face it, the entire month of April is going to be ceded to 20th Century Fox's publicity department).

Sky Captain isn't a good comp, because delay was announced very close to the release date, after they'd already started showing trailers. Serenity's marketing campaign wasn't even originally going to start until Feburary (the trailer was going to debut in front of Elektra).

Was there any doubt we'd see it on opening week? Only question is which showing on saturday! (and motzei shabbos is a good thing..

We've fallen out of the habit of watching movies on opening night.. but I think we'll be able to make it with nearly 10 months to schedule...

Sorry to hear about the delay. *pout* Paul & I are both in on the outing.
