Myrmi writes "The four-hour Farscape miniseries will be aired on the Sci-Fi Channel starting October 17th. The trailer for the miniseries is to be hosted at Apple Trailers and starting today at 3PM EST." Here's the trailer page. As eve11 writes, "Apple.com agreed to host the trailer after a write-in campaign from Farscape fans. Until today this trailer had only been shown during the July 24th Farscape panel at Comicon in San Diego. More info here."

  1. Will this be worth watching? by Matt+Perry · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Will this be worth watching for someone who's never seen Farscape? I've heard good things about Farscape but never bothered to watch it as I knew the story wouldn't be completed due to the cancellation of the series. Does any hardcore Farscape fan know if this mini-series will stand on its own or expect me to have watched Farscape before to understand what's happening?

    How does Apple profit? Do studios pay Apple to have trailers on its site?

    By selling QuickTime.

    You can get the player for free, but it's the "foot in the door". The more interesting things you can do only with the full version, like authoring and so forth, and movie previews at Apple have become the de facto way of viewing trailers online.

    Pretty good push for their player software.
