Serenity trailer goes up at 1pm PST says Joss. As a bleary eyed fandom waits with bated breath for the first glimpse of Serenity, Joss tells Herc at AICN what time today the trailer will be going online at.

Correct me if I'm wrong, then that is 8pm UK time (BST) ?

brob1 | April 26, 17:34 CET

9pm, 8 hours difference between the UK and the west coast.

Simon | April 26, 17:36 CET

So it will be early evening for me, hopefully I'll be home to experience such joy.

Numfar PTB | April 26, 17:43 CET

Can't wait. My DVD is on loan to convert #11 as we 'speak'. Everyone keep at it; build the army that will put the BDM over the top at the box office :)

Everyone can find their local time here.

If you think this is a long wait, the next FIVE MONTHS are going to be hell, eh?

Personally I am looking forward to the round of talk show appearances which usually drum up the most excitement...

TaraLivesOn | April 26, 18:11 CET

Looks like I'm going to have to be late for work today! ;-)

Nebula1400 | April 26, 18:14 CET

I'm going to be at the James Masters gig. *Wail*

Will have to steal my sisters internet when we get back to her flat.

TheDivineGoat | April 26, 18:40 CET

I'll just be back from lunch with the brother of one of the biggest Firefly fans (after me, of course) in Silicon Valley. I won't be able to resist talking about it at lunch, so I'll find out if the brother is a Browncoat or if he calls the Man "Josh." :-p

RBB | April 26, 18:46 CET

By the way, I bet the "full screen" version that Joss mentioned will require "quicktime pro" (paid version) like the Star Wars trailers.

Instead, at least for the windows folks, I highly recommend the free Quicktime Alternative which lets you play quicktime files in a windows media player clone.

TaraLivesOn | April 26, 18:50 CET

TaraLivesOn don't kid me about the wait. Serenity won't arrive in Brazil, before November 11th. I'm still hoping to see if UiP people will do some test screening before that.

Numfar PTB | April 26, 18:53 CET

Speak of test screenings, there was some freaky stuff going on at the Serenity Movie site a few minutes ago. It looks like there will be screenings on May 5th at several US cities but the link has now disappeared.

Simon | April 26, 19:02 CET

I knew I should've taken a later lunch.

Mack | April 26, 19:16 CET

Oh please let one be Charlotte. I'd be all over that.

eddy | April 26, 19:18 CET

I just checked the time on which it'll be released in Chicago, and it occurs exactly the minute I leave for work. :) It's fate.

Mack | April 26, 19:23 CET

If they do Chicago and not Minneapolis (US test screening) I see a road trip in my future. It'll be a flashback to two months back when I road tripped to Chi to see New Model Army play :)

zeitgeist | April 26, 19:29 CET

Holy cow, more Serenity screenings? If there's one in the D.C. area I shall beg, borrow and steal to attend.

I wonder why the link was dropped.

phlebotinin | April 26, 19:40 CET

One can only assume it was a mistake and not to be posted 'til post-trailer time :)

zeitgeist | April 26, 19:42 CET

I don't know, that link about the screenings looked kinda hack-y to me. It mentioned "buying" tickets (aren't screenings free?), and the phrases used seemed like someone was trying to get the tone of an official news post, but missed by a mile.

I hope there is a screening, but until I see words from someone official, I remain doubtful.

Dizzy | April 26, 19:50 CET

From what I can remember the cities were:

Seattle
Chicago
Austin
Portland
Atlanta? (I think)

Perhaps its some sort of viral marketing campaign or more likely a cockup.

Simon | April 26, 20:16 CET

The link for Chicago.

(Mods, feel free to fix the link... can't figure out how to do it even after reading the "how to".)

Dizzy | April 26, 20:33 CET

Fixed the link, dizzy, but I'm not sure it goes where you think it goes. What was it supposed to show again?

SoddingNancyTribe | April 26, 20:53 CET

Actually, I have trouble with the 'how to' on the links also? They never work out the way they're explained??
Must go to bed, big day tomorrow!

nixygirl | April 26, 21:12 CET

dizzy and nixygirl, here's a good html help link page. They give several examples on linking, ect. It will print out on three pages.

Forcing myself to stay up for the trailer, just a few more hours. It will be 5 AM here.

TaraLivesOn, thanks for providing the Quicktime Alternative link. I thought I had all the players on my machine, but I can't recall ever playing Quicktime Pro. Just might need it.

Only 157 days to go.....not that I'm counting or anything ;)

Madhatter | April 26, 21:38 CET

Yep, I'd imagine the full-screen trailer will be Pro only, wouldn't worry, can't imagine it'll take long for someone to find the adress of the file so you can download it to your hard drive.

Ghost Spike | April 26, 21:44 CET

Can you believe it's been over a YEAR since the greenlight for Serenity?

TaraLivesOn | April 26, 21:59 CET

Portland! Oh.My.God.

electricspacegirl | April 26, 22:01 CET

Breathe, esg; breathe!

brownishcoat | April 26, 22:07 CET

And it's been over four months since the first public screening.

Oddjob | April 26, 22:17 CET

Yup Oddjob, I remember well... :-)

TaraLivesOn | April 26, 22:24 CET

Thanks SNT!

And that was the link provided in the "news" post on the Universal page re:screenings on May 5. It was taken down pretty quick, but not before I clicked on the link...

Dizzy | April 26, 22:26 CET

Yeah, I'm sure several sites will have it available in mere hours from release.

Wow, it has been over a year. I remember dancing with joy upon hearing the making of the movie. Then, the disappointment when Joss told us it would be delayed. But, in looking back, I think Universal did the right thing. Even with the 18 month wait, we're still chomping on the bit for Serenity. Joss, start making plans for the second.

Madhatter | April 26, 22:39 CET

Just think we get to do this all over again in a year for Wonder Woman... ;-)

TaraLivesOn | April 26, 22:44 CET

58 minutes and counting. Im very very excited about this!

Apocalypse | April 26, 23:02 CET

I'm waiting patiently... one hour to go.

Razor | April 26, 23:04 CET

Argh, can you believe I have to leave right now?
well my money is on this link, best guess on my part, good luck everyone!

TaraLivesOn | April 26, 23:08 CET

Kicks the back of the seat. Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet???

miranda | April 26, 23:10 CET

Chicago! Wow, so excited! This day has been absolutely miserable. I was a candidate for a wonderful job, and was informed this morning that I did not receive it. So happy about the hopefully true news of the Chicago screeening AND the trailer though. That's what's getting me through today. I can alway count on Whedoneque to make me happy. 40 more minutes!!!! getting sloshed tonight....

Harmalicious | April 26, 23:23 CET

Wonder how many hits the apple site has been receiving these past few hours?

Madhatter | April 26, 23:26 CET

I've been watching the trailers for "Hitchhiker's Guide…" and "SW: Ep3"; not sure I'm going to make it to Friday clean…

brownishcoat | April 26, 23:27 CET

Sorry for that Harmalicious. I've found that it helps to burn a piece of the offending job's letterhead. Maybe you could do that while watching the trailer?

30 minutes to go. Anyone worried (or maybe hopeful) that we'll crash the server? Would be bad if we couldn't see it immediately but good that so many wanted to see it.

Biff Turkle | April 26, 23:31 CET

I have a feeling that their servers will be able to handle the demand just fine.

Oddjob | April 26, 23:32 CET

Me too, just dreaming of overwhelming worldwide demand...

Biff Turkle | April 26, 23:37 CET

I'm also counting on them to be a little late, by about five minutes or thereabouts. But we'll see in about 15 minutes or so. :)

Oddjob | April 26, 23:44 CET

Thanks, BT. Unfortunately I'm still using the same letterhead. My current job is with the same business, so I have to be all stiff upper lippy. My co-workers think I'm crazy. I keep saying 40 minutes, 30 minutes. hmm...maybe I would have gotten the position if I wasn't on Whedonesque all day.............nah! Oh my god, 15 minutes!

Harmalicious | April 26, 23:45 CET

Less than 15 minutes! This is maddening...

riaspark17 | April 26, 23:46 CET

Well, lets not crash the front page of Whedonesque. Can we agree to allow one of our wonderful MODS to post the link? They're busy enough as it is and I would hate to see 20 posts suddenly flash up with the same info. Is that reasonable to everyone?

Madhatter | April 26, 23:47 CET

Hey, i just watched the trailer! It's up already. I clicked on TaraLivesOn's link.

riaspark17 | April 26, 23:51 CET

This link is now loading a trailer:

http://movies.apple.com/movies/universal/serenity/serenity_480.mov

HudsonVC | April 26, 23:52 CET

I allready have my post ready to go so as soon as that site get's activated my link is going up first.

SpikeBad | April 26, 23:53 CET

Do I have to say it? SHINY. I can't believe it went up before 1:00 PM.

Oddjob | April 26, 23:58 CET

I'm making TaraLivesOn Whedonesque poster of the day btw. So go post your reactions in our brand new spanking Serenity trailer thread.

Simon | April 27, 00:01 CET

"MORE SCREENINGS" RUMOR IS TRUE!

I think... or I just bought tickets to a preview of some other movie... the theater that was listed for Chicago, in the quickly-pulled-down news item, had tickets for sale for May 5, 10:00pm. Keep an eye out, folks, methinks more screenings will be coming to you all soon!

Dizzy | April 27, 02:01 CET

dizzy, seriously? where could I go to find tickets for Chicago screening? OMG...I would kill for tickets to an early screening, and Chicago would be perfect!

embers | April 27, 02:15 CET

Hey Embers. I credit this to someone on the Chicago Browncoat list.

The website is amctheaters.com. Select Chicago area, then Rivereast 21. Don't click on anything under movie or date. Next screen, select May 5. Scroll down to a "Special Advanced Screening" for 10PM. Click Buy Tickets button and buy!

This may not be Serenity. However, considering the weird post on the Universal site earlier, and the fact that the tag line ("You can't stop the signal") was used in that post before the trailer was online leads me to believe that this is not a hoax. Anyway, something will be shown on the 5th, and it's looking pretty likely that it will be our BDM.

And I hereby renounce my previously displayed cynicism!

Dizzy | April 27, 08:10 CET

Edited to delete from this thread and put in the other Serenity thread!
