Serenity: Special Edition DVD Coming In July

[Geekyfanboy]

Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy/Angel/Firefly and Serenity post often at Whedone-esqe. Here is what he had to say about the upcoming release of Serenity: Special Edition.

Yes, fanlings, there is going to be a 2 disc 'Special Edition' released this summer. You know why? 'Cause the 1 disc 'Normal Edition' has sold so well -- so maybe a little self-back-patting is in order for you guys. Way to keep her in the air.

It's too early to be sure what the Special Edition will contain, but here are some things we're going for:

NEW KEY ART.

Cast commentary -- assuming I can get a decent number of them in one room. They're very busy people, I'm happy to say.

NEW KEY ART.

The region 4 goodies, obviously.

The Tam Sessions.

KEY NEW ART.

New Yub Yub, and Greedo shoots first. So does that kid outside the trading station, the pilot who destroyed Haven, and Kaylee. And Richard Dreyfuss goes INSIDE the mothership.

KEW RAT YEN.

An alternate ending, if you turn it off early.

Proof of the existence of a benevolent higher power -- uh, I mean, new key art.

Mice.

And honestly, what more do you want? Don't answer that, I already know and it's unseemly. But I'm pretty excited here. Back to work, -j.

Take my Yub,
Take Yub Yub,
Yub Yub tak the Yub from Meee...dichlorians....

Sounds SWEET......Thiis is why I wait to buy DVD's

[Geekyfanboy]

Smart Guy... I just can't wait... I have to have the DVD the moment it comes out even though I know will get a SE later down the road. But to be honest.. DVD's are so cheap now it's not a huge deal.

You make a good point....although I still have yet to buy the Star Wars DVD's because I want all 6 movie packaged together....I was hoping that would happen this year but.....
