I teared up. *sniff* My Firefly!
Not sure about River becoming Trinity, however. We'll see how that goes.

Book is listed in the credits on IMDB. I'm a bit disappointed that they're rewriting some of the history - as if the show wasn't canonical. Then again, I suppose part of the point of the movie is to spread the goodness to those that missed the show.

on 26 Apr 2005 22:34 (UTC)What leads you to think that they're rewriting history? I didn't see anything in the trailer that indicated that. Well, I do note that the Preview says at one point "SIX REBELS", which I guess means that the people writing the Preview text don't count Simon, River, and Book as crew members. Whether the actual movie does, of course, remains to be seen.
IMDB isn't always definitive. My guess is that Book will be there, but only for a bit near the beginning and/or end. I suspect that if he were present for the events of this movie, his (still unrevealed) backstory would... complicate matters a mite much.
While going through it a second time, slowly, I noticed that Wash still has his dinosaurs :-)
Regarding River: It's not like "girl with special powers gets trained to become an assassin" is a trope that Joss is uncomfortable with. He's used it explicitly at least twice, and suggested it on several other occasions. Heck, given a bit of a squint, Vampire Slayers fit that pattern.

It looks from the trailer (though it might just be my impression), that they're doing the Simon and River join the ship part that was done in the pilot. I'd be happy to be wrong about this, and have them pick up some point after the show ended.

on 27 Apr 2005 05:11 (UTC)Part of the problem is that they can't *just* cater to the fans...they also have to try to get new people in who don't know *anything* about the tv show, so if they revisit a *little* I'm okay with that.

on 27 Apr 2005 13:06 (UTC)Yeah, but that's partially why I'm uncomfortable with it. I have high regard for Joss; I assume he could find something more out of the ordinary to do with her.

If so, I smell class-action lawsuit.

Okay, that's cool then.
