Idea: a Serenity fan edit?

 (Edited)

Hi, I am looking for a Serenity re-edit that incorporates all deleted and extended scenes into the movie.

Um, anyone done this yet?

Is it anywhere available?

I love Batman.

Someone had a go recently but couldn't get it to work - something to do with PAL and NTSC sources not working together well?

In any case, it wouldn't really be worth doing (at least yet) as there are more deleted scenes that haven't yet been released to the public. I saw a workprint of the film in London exactly two years ago (!) that was basically as written in the Visual Companion.

Really? How do you know this?

As I said in my previous post, I was fortunate enough to attend an invite-only test screening of the film in London way back in February 2005. I missed my then-girlfriend's birthday to go see it - needless to say, she broke up with me less than a week later! Totally worth it though

There were quite a few scenes that are in the script in the Visual Companion, but haven't been released on the DVDs. Copied from my post on the other thread, some of the scenes included:

- Brief scene where the Operative is about to torture Minty and Fango.
- A longer shot of Kaylee crying over the dead child at the massacre.
- Mal and Inara have an intimate scene (no, not like that) after seeing the video message about the Reavers.
- There was a much more explicit low-angle shot of the Operative's sword being run through Mal (in the film it happens off-camera). Presumably cut for the PG-13, though it may have been because some though it would be "silly" that Mal would carry on after it. Maybe - I just thought it made him all the more hardcore :-D
- Fireworks in the funeral scene (hence why they're putting notes on a bloody rocket!!!)
- When Mal enters the cockpit in the final scene, he has a little play with Wash's dinosaurs and flicks the three switches before his scene with River.

Nathan Fillion has also brought a much longer, much funnier version of the Serenity bloopers reel to some Firefly conventions. (NOTE: I am NOT referring to the longer version of the Firefly gagreel which can easily be found around the Web.)

Well that's pretty awesome, I hope those things get released some time.

The Digital Bits are reporting that a special edition of Serenity is due out in July. No details yet. But let's hope for the best. Here's the blurb:

Whedon's confirmed the special edition is happening, too. (http://whedonesque.com/comments/12606)

Fingers crossed it includes the other deleted scenes so someone do this baby proud!

Oh, I missed this news somehow. I am happy to hear that a cast commentary is being done. I was disappointed that Fillion wasn't on the track on the original DVD. Looks like it may be time to send my current disc to the pawnshop...
