New International Serenity Trailer Released

Tenken writes "The international Serenity trailer has just popped up online and it looks to be even shinier than the first. This new trailer doesn't really spell out the plot of the film as explicitly as the first one, but for that reason it may play better with fans. Chiwetel Ejiofor's "Operative" character is also shaping up to be one of those memorable Whedon villains along the lines of Jubal Early from the episode "Objects in Space.""

    I got to 35%, when everyone else here on /. noticed the trailer too...and my work has Bittorrent blocked...

    *sigh*, so, here I am, downloading at a whopping 5k/s.

    Of all the days to stop taking methamphetamines...

    Early: "You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?"

    Simon: "What'd he do?"

    Early: "Who?"

    Simon: "The midget."

    Early: "Arson. Little man loved fire."

      Best moment in the whole series for me:

      Mal is in a life-and-death struggle with a man who was torturing him for hours. Just as he's getting the slight upper hand in the fight, his crew comes storming in with guns at the ready.

      When one crew member raises her gun, Zoe interrupts her...

      Zoe: "Wait... [earnestly] He has to do this himself."

      Mal: "No he doesn't!"

      Zoe: "Oh."

      Then the crew proceeds to shoot the bad guy. Priceless!

    Zoe: "You paid money for this, sir? On purpose?"

    Zoe: "Honestly, sir? I think you got robbed."

    Mal: "Robbed? What? No. What do you mean?"

    Point of interest. Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

    Book: "Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps."

    I know a lot of Slashdotters worship the ground he walks on and think is the next best thing since sliced bread.
    Gotta tell ya, I'm just not that impressed with sliced bread. I'm more of a whole loaf kind of guy. Pita, stuff like that.

    The worse is when it's a particularly bad film and you realize that all the good parts were IN the trailer.

    They recommend Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace if you're ending up liking this movie.

    Wow...

    Hmm, I wonder how that algorithm works anyway, if it's automated. :-) ( or maybe the question should be frased -- how the algorithm doesn't work ;-) )

    I think the Bible would have been a lot more interesting with Jesus talking about how quickly the human body can be drained of blood given adequate vacuuming systems, claiming that he's a ship, speaking incoherently, and threatening to kill people with his brain.

    What do you think is written in those secret books of the Bible kept in the vaults in the Vatican?

    In the Gospel of Vernon, threats of killing them with his brain was how Jesus got the money-changers out of the temple. And he mentioned the blood/vacuum thing as sort of an aside at the Last Supper, but the published Gospel writers chose to leave that part out.
