Outtakes rock

[Spacemonkey_Jackson]

Yes!! We get outtacks! See Joss and Co. knows what the fans like.

Deleted Scenes are cool to watch too. Those ought to be interesting.

Thanks for posting the info.

[CKO]

oohhhh out takes are frakkin' funny to watch.

cant wait... its gonna gorram rock

[Blue Banrigh]

Hey, so it does have an audio commentary. Sweet.

[SaberBlade]

i'm impressed with the cover, looks great.

i've looked at the list of deleted scenes and i'd have prefered if those extended scenes had been incorporated into the movie. firefly was a great movie and it being longer on dvd would be a nice treat

are there any plans for a special edition or extended edition? one disc just doesn't do the movie justice

[Mefusta]

Is it just me... or does River on the DVD cover look... scary

[Elite Anubis Guard]

Was just about to bump to say the coverart was now released. It looks rather impressive as do the menus..nice to see we havent been skanked:

Joss has said that there won't be an extended edition, he likes it the way it is. Now, that's not to say that in 10 years he might not change his mind...


I'm looking forward to 'The story of Earth that was'.

[Elite Anubis Guard]

I really like that cover, good looking.

[creed462]

cool

[Queen Eleta]

Wow, December. That's pretty quick. I know what I'm getting for Christmas!

[White Knight]

Unless you're living outside of Reigon 1. Don't know about 2 and 3, but the Reigon 4 DVD isn't released until February 8th.

[aaobuttons]

I really like that cover, good looking.

I like it too, very eye catching. Joss doesn't like it though, he made some funny comment about it at serenitymovie.com about how he didn't have control over the artwork either... I guess he's been battling with the execs over some stuff.

[the fifth man]

December, huh? Sweet. That movie rocked, and I can't wait to pick up a copy. I'm really pleased I have gotten into the whole Firefly thing. It was a show that should have gone on for a lot longer.

[White Knight]

I don't particularly like the cover either. Neither do a lot of the Aussie Browncoats.

Also, going by the estimate that the Firefly DVD has so far sold between 500,000 and 750,000 units, and averaging the cost as $30 per DVD, I can conclude that the Serenity DVD will make about $20mill from the Browncoats alone. That, plus the $35mill that the film has already made worldwide, puts the total earnings to at least $55mill. That's not mentioning the imminent release of the BDM in New Zealand and Western Europe, and Firefly virgins who'll buy the movie.

The sequel is looking more and more likely every day.

Dear Browncoats,

Here at Universal Pictures Australia we are very excited to be planning the DVD release of Serenity, which is scheduled for February 8, 2006. The Australian version of the DVD will be unique from other countries, in that it will feature some additional pieces of bonus content that will not appear on the US version. We are in the process of finalising the extra content and we will let you know exactly what you will find on the Australian DVD shortly. We are also looking at creative options for some special packaging and we will also update you on this in the near future. Rest assured though that we will be delivering a unique DVD for this market!

We have been following with interest activity on this site about all things Serenity related, and we look forward to working with you all and getting to know you over the coming months. We will keep you informed of all developments with the DVD as they come to hand, and please feel free to send us your feedback as we would love to hear it.

Thank-you to our friends at UIP for doing such a great job with the site, and the theatrical launch of Serenity. Hopefully interest in the DVD release will be just as strong. We look forward to your support!

Stay tuned for more updates!

Can I get a "Hell Yeah!"?

Well Hell yeah! So they are looking at actually marketing to us for a change.
