They used that shot on one of the posters, and it's not the same as the power shot of River after the Reavers, I don't think. I think it's kind of a silly, overdramatic pose.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Yeah I guess it is pretty silly. Makes the movie look like Ultraviolet whose premise in the previews is beyond my limited intellect to grasp.

What little I've gathered of Ultraviolet makes it look like a low-rent combination of Dark Angel and Aeon Flux.

Throw in a measure of Underworld with some Electra seasoning, and that's kind of what I figured.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
At least I don't wonder about the location of River's internal organs in that pose. Mila's freaking me out.

Just thought I'd stop by and mention what a great service ita is providing for fandom... [link] (Check out the link at the top.)

If we're really lucky, they'll do it in that order...
The cover is from the International poster for the movie. Whilst I don't especially like it, I do think that it's better than the US cover (llamas!). Which isn't saying much.
If it helps, River is embossed on the tin.

An image of the poster is actually below the image of the tin, so you can see where the tin picture originates.

I was just looking at Amazon and got a surprise when I noticed Firefly is still #19 in the Top Sellers list. Serenity is sitting at #25.

In comparison with the USian poster, the International poster practically screams, "Watch me!" Just in comparison, but it begins to make more sense that Serenity did so much better, relatively, overseas.
That said, I don't really like either poster all that much. I like the Serenity logo much better.
