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.

Nobody

Well, seeing as the video begins with a title card that reads "R. Tam" you'd think that it has to have something to do with Firefly/Serenity...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

No one knows where the hell it came from. Someone downloaded it from a file-sharing dealie, and it's spread.

Well, clearly, it's some sort of fan film. But if that's not Summer Glau, I'll be a monkey's uncle. Maybe she has a twin no one knows about.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Indeed, anybody can add titling to a clip. I have it on very reliable word that it hasn't come from the bods at 'versal.

Now I'm trying to remember that episode. It doesn't look right to have been from The 4400.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Allyson, do you want to go to the screening with me next week?

Hey. New board.

A decent film editor could easily have done all of it up to the last 2 seconds, filming the psychologist guy him or herself. It wouldn't be difficult to superimpose the Summer stuff on top of that, especially since the static and whatnot are there to help cover any foibles.

But, it still requires a clip of Summer coming right up to the camera and saying "I can see you." Though I'm willing to believe the voice could be faked, if we can find a clip that works close enough to that line for believable dubbing.

Nah, I doubt it's faked (although there are some weird photography things going on). I'll have a look through the original shooting script tomorrow(*) to see if that scene was there - maybe they were doing some 'test' shooting originally?

(*) The publishers of the Serenity script book have sent me a review copy, and it's SHINY. Production photos, in depth interviews (Zoe was originally a man) etc.

I may have to seize the cat.

Wh-huh?

Hey. New board.

See, I'd say I think it's definitely faked. The guy playing the psychologist has some really weird issues going on with his physical acting (for example, it's clear he's standing up as he falls, his body moves upward, not very believable) that wouldn't be in a professional film.

Though if that film is in the script, I'll eat my words. I think it's faked, though. I think somebody will find the Summer bit somewhere, or something very close to it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wh-huh?

I bet you're quoting Wash here.
