Official "Serenity" Poster

[chicken]

Official Serenity Movie Poster.

Compare this to an earlier draft version. Note that the much-maligned "floating heads" are gone, and the look on River's face is much more composed (someone on the official Serenity site compared it to early Sigourney Weaver).

I like this much better than the earlier draft.

Huh, I just realized for the first time that Summer Glau may be left-handed. In this poster anyway, her trigger finger appears to be her left forefinger. Hmmm. People who've been to cons -- does she sign her autographs left-handed? (I know Joss does!) Some people on Whedonesque said she's right-handed and that the gun is just held that way for graphic design reasons.

Does that say "rebel ass" on Summer's right hand side?

Your link to earlier version isn't working for me.

[chicken-cem.livejournal.com]

I fixed the link.

Also, I think it is probably supposed to say "Rebel Assassin" but they over-faded the last part of "Assassin". Heh.

Now try the earlier link again ...

I don't know, I kinda liked seeing everybody on the poster. Though I think the ship looks better on the new one.

The ship does look better. I'm still not sure about those old floating heads.

Weird! I can't see either picture. Hmph.

[chicken-cem.livejournal.com]

Try now...

[cadence-k.livejournal.com]

Yep, it works now. Thanks!

I really like the poster. Oh wow, I can't wait until the movie comes out!

It's gone! Maybe it'll be back later.

[anelith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! You know, I don't think that looks much like River.

[chicken-cem.livejournal.com]

Yes, her make-up really changes things.

[chicken-cem.livejournal.com]

The official one is back, and they changed it a bit.

I still feel meh about it, but I don't know how they could do a better job. The floating heads didn't work, but I do miss seeing the rest of them there.

I have a feeling they'll do several more versions. Many movies these days have a lot of different posters. Sometimes they use the different ones in different markets (such as different ones here and abroad or even different ones in separate parts of the country). I have no idea, but there do seem to be a lot of rumors floating around about additional, different posters being in the works.
