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.

The DVD has Mal and Inara's almost kiss restored. And the shippers go wild.

Obviously, I am a shipper because I squeeed when reading this.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

What makes a shipper? No, wait. I'm kidding.

Did anybody see the DVD changes to SerenityMovie.com yesterday? It was accidentally transformed to a Skeleton Key DVD website, and quickly changed back.

Restored? Or included in the deleted scenes.

Sadly, Serenity has closed in all the indoor theaters in my city, and I really don't want to sit through The Corpse Bride again to see it a sixth time at the drive-in. Though if I can talk Hot Venezualan Guy into a repeat viewing, having an extra 90 minutes to kill in my car beforehand might not be a bad thing...

Bad language Kev - deleted scenes.

I'd say there's going to be at least two versions of the DVD - the first edition, whilst not lacking in features, still doesn't have near the amount of material shot for features on it. Plus, no cast commentary.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Having read the script in the visual companion, I have a question about the deleted scenes. Were any of them cut after the April/May screenings or were those cuts already made?

Aurelia,

Some of the cuts were made before the December 16th screening I saw last year (the Mal and Inara almost kiss) and some of them were made after (the extra footage of Inara and Mal fleeing the training house). I don't recall any of them being in the April/May screenings.

Thanks, Tamara.

Mal/Inara was in the february UIP screening in London. River's Reaver fighting was also significantly (by a few minutes, I guestimate) longer. Mal/Inara had gone again in March.

You know, somehow it never occured to me that each screening session might have had considerably different versions of the movie. I expected that things like the CGI and the soundtrack would slowly be layered in, and, after all the screenings were over to have some of the scenes deleted, but not-put in and taken back out.
