I WILL SEE THIS MOVIE!!!
Wow, that looks super cool. It really looks like they didn't compromise anything in getting that out.
That said, it has nothing to do with shadowrun ; )

Two quick notes -
Book doesn't appear in the trailer. I *HEARD* he's in the movie from a friend of a friend, but as it stands...
Secondly, I'm sorry, River does well as the lost little girl, but as the ninja-monster, she really doesn't do it for me. She still seems too... soft, detached without being robotic.

Ron glass, who plays book, is credited on IMDB and other sources as being in the movie, plus Joss said he'd never do the movie unless he got the full cast back.
And I've heard (But been unable to check yet) that he's in one of the teaser pics on the Serenity movie site.

Jayne: Well, as a rule I say girlfolk ain't to be trusted.
River: Jayne is a girl's name.
Jayne: Well, Jayne ain't a girl! If she starts in on that girl's name thing, I'll show her good and all I got man parts.

in defence:
she does look like she's kinda out of place when that fight sequence starts...she's kicking people and she has this look like "Ta ma duh!"...and her moves make it look kinda forced at first...like she's out of practice/never done it before. then, as the trailer goes on and the fight continues, she begins to flow more like it's all "coming back" to her.
she's not meant to be a ninja and she doesn't look like she accepts it well...she simply 'can' do it (kinda like 1st level amnisa...you just 'know' you know how to use your active skills...you just don't know why/how you learned them)

He ia also writing The Ashtonishing X-Men, one of the best monthly comics being produced. Even if you don't like the X-crew, Whedonjust writes good stories.

Woot!
Scifi to air Firefly!This means that if the movie does well it will be Sc-Fi who has the rights to make the show again. They were a lot more likely to do it than Fox was. Of course they fubared Battlestar and canceled farscape, but heck, they are doing SG-1 well
Pthgar
Jun 16 2005, 12:18 AM
Sa-weet! This assures that my T.V. will be on Sci-Fi Channel for four solid hours on fridays. I can't believe they are putting FF on their big night. That makes it seem like they already have plans to pick it up if the movie does well. I am in geek heaven right now.
My wife is going to flip out. FF and the new BSG are her two favourite shows to air in like the last 5 years.

You know I have heard of that, but never read it. Very funny. My hope is that Sci Fi picks up Firefly if the movie is successful. My fear is they will but Jos will be to busy with the
Wonder Woman movie to do it.
funny side note about WW. It was written by a Psychologist who lived with two woman and had children with both.

Firefly SR? has potential. I mean the core planets are more tech than SR and there are SOO many rocks out there to run to and from.

Understanding is that syndication is a no. I don; think the actors are interested in that., such is my understanding, I may of course be incorrect.
Shadow

Well Sci-Fi owns the rights now. So unles they sell them to someone else, any new show will be on Sci-Fi.

Just a quick note about how "Serenity/Firefly" fits into a SR discussion.
Watch the episode "The Train Job" and tell me that this ain't how a shadowrun goes. Team gets notice of a job.
Meets with disreputable fixer.
Infiltrates train bearing cargo.
Rigger flys overhead while lowering psycho gunman down to pick up cargo.
Runners get nabbed by "the Star" before escaping.
Runners find out fixer didn't tell the whole deal about cargo.
"The Face" cons her way in to release the aforementioned nabbed runners.
etc...
And you can do that with most of the episodes of "Firefly". IMO if you want to see runs done on the tv screen, buy the DVD set and sit down for some western/chinese/outer space adventure.
