This is coming from someone who hasn't seen all the episodes yet (though I plan to go on a marathon spree with the DVDs before the movie comes out). This is going to be the coolest movie ever.
River just goes all psycho crazy on everyone. Reavers. Assassins. Fleets of ships.

Awesome. Craaaazy River, reavers, and that slightly odd use of English.
So.. from this very short clip, I get the vibe that River might have been modded by Alliance (or the Blue Hands?) to become a fighter, a la Dark Angel...

My ass has been kicked by this trailer. I'm looking far more forward towards this than any other SF movie this year, including Hitchhiker and that Star Wars thing.

Links to the files themselves for easy downloading, provided for those of you who, like me, are not savvy enough to figure them out on your own. (I totally had to steal these from some dude.)

What is this "Star Wars" thing you speak of, Mark? Whatever it is, it can't be all that interesting...
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing H2G2, but if this new trailer is any indication, Serenity will be THE sci-fi movie of the year.

H2G2? Please tell me that isn't a standard convention.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

That is, to the whole H2G2 we-can-have-our-own-damn-wiki project, which wasn't connected to the BBC in the beginning.

So I take it that River never manifested the psycho Matrix karate abilities in the series, huh? I only ever got about a third of the way through, so there's alot I don't know yet.
From the trailer, it kind of looks like the scene in the bar where she whoops on everyone is one of the opening scenes and her new abilities come as a surprise to everyone. Not to mention draws the attention of the assasin.
The shot of her holding herself onto the ceiling by wedging herself between the walls and holding onto that sprinkler head (?) looks great too.

@Sol: Yeah, it is kind of noisy. Although honestly I won't mind if they ditched the silence in space in order to appeal to a wider audience. I also wouldn't be suprised if that sound was added in only for the trailer. But the silence was cool in the series.
Nice to see they haven't changed the characters! Bad guy: ".... I'm unarmed." Mal "Good!" *BLAM!*

I remember reading that SOMEONE had to be sacrificed to geive everyone else enough time to shine on this one. As an ensemble piece, even during regular series they occasionally lost a regular so the others have more lines. Nine people is a LOT to juggle, even in a movie, and of the four passengers, I guess Book wasn't as required for the Tam storyline. IF we go back to a regular series following this movie, it's a fair bet that Book'll be back.

But he was one of the characters needed the most explaining. He knew far too much to be just a Sheperd. IMDb seems to think he's in the cast though. Never a very reliable source on pre-production though.
