Beej, due to timing (score isn't recorded until film is all cut, and trailers often come out before that time), they almost never use music from the actual film in trailers. They actually use music from OTHER movies on a regular basis. Freaky, but there you go.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

If I only had a brain...
Yeah. The Basil Pouledoros Conan The Barbarian score used to show up a LOT in trailers.

Art Crawl!!!
H2G2 isn't Universal.
The Interpreter is. Does this mean that it's more likely that the Serenity trailer will be attached to the Interpreter than to H2G2? Or is that how these things are done?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think that was my seventh time just now. Maybe.
Maybe it's just the trailer, but it seems like there's almost no Western left besides some tinges in Mal's dialogue. Which, I mean, okay, I'm more a sci-fi fan than a Western fan. But someone needs to shoot a horse.

Compassionately intolerant
That makes sense.
Would it have killed them to use the series music? It being of the 'verse and all?
Okay. I'm done on this count. I swear.
eta: Oh wait. Fox vs. Universal. No mixy rightes. Okay. Now I'm REALLY done.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
One of the LOTR:TTT trailers featured music from Requiem for a Dream. (they mixed it differently, though)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I can't risk watching more than once at work.
I'm guessing (hoping) they're playing down the Western aspects for the trailer to try to appeal to a wider audience but they'll be more present in the actual movie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I wonder what the whole war thing is about? Considering that the Browncoats lost to the Alliance, there can't be much of an Independent military left.
Absurd theory: The Browncoats ally themselves with the Reavers against the Alliance. Could be fun. Although Ambassador to the Reavers would have to be the worse job in the 'verse....

By also saying "From the mind of Joss Whedon - creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel" it should help tap into those fandoms and get more people in the seats.

I thought it was sweet that they put the fact that it was loved by millions of fans worldwide into the trailer.
