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.
Chicagoistas, do any of you know if the Serenity trailer is attached to Batman Begins playing at the Century 12 in Evanston (or at which theaters it is)? We want to see Batman Begins, but really want to see the trailer!
It was attached to it last night at the AMC East theatre (on Illinois) where we saw Serenity.
Random but related: One of my jobs at work is to process life insurance applications. There was one that I processed today in which the family lives on "Serenity Valley Dr."
I just thought that was too cool to pass up without mentioning.
Duuuude.
It was attached to the AMC theater in Warrenville (the 30 screen complex). From the sound of it, maybe the AMC theaters have got it while the others may not?
Also, loved the movie. (But love the show more.)
Luuuucy. 'Splain.
I haven't seen the movie but I read the review over at AICN and it really rang true not the likeability of the plots because that's subjective but how it's set up for the non fans and how the characters are handled.
I think the movie was a better movie than the show, and the show was a better show than the movie.
Seems sensible to me.
tommyrot, brenda m and Narrator, thanks for the trailer scoop!

The place I saw it was a Cinemark. But it was also in Wisconsin, so I doubt that really helps pinpoint things.
Just to help muddy those waters with another datapoint, I also saw the Serenity trailer attached to BB in Oregon at a Cinemark.

Don't need to, as it's been said:

Seems sensible to me.
Essentially, what I want in my little fangirl heart is just a Very Big Screen Episode of Firefly. Which would, of course, be a terrible movie. There are things you can do on TV that you can't do on film, like spending a long time developing characters and relationships, and establishing setting, almost all scope things. I prefer the TV scope, and after being used to seeing this story in the TV medium, seeing it on film was jarring. I wanted them to take this movie and make it 2 or 3 episodes.
But we'll take what we can get.
