I didn’t think I’d have another Serenity-related post before the movie actually arrives, particularly since Mr Whedon is officially not going to grace Dragon*Con 2005 with his presence. However, Universal’s “underground” marketing campaign is getting very interesting. So far, three grainy, black & white video clips have virally surfaced, each one approximately a week apart. …
