Revision as of 22:06, 3 May 2005
Joss Whedon, the Oscar- and Emmy-nominated writer/director responsible for the worldwide television phenomena of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, now applies his trademark compassion and wit to a small band of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future in his feature film directorial debut, Serenity.
Synopsis
(From the official Serenity movie site.)
The film centers on Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to a family - squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal.
When Mal takes on two new passengers - Simon Tam, a young doctor, and River Tam, his unstable, telepathic sister - he gets much more than he bargained for. The pair are fugitives from the coalition dominating the universe, who will stop at nothing to reclaim the girl. The crew that was once used to skimming the outskirts of the galaxy unnoticed find themselves caught between the unstoppable military force of the Universal Alliance and the horrific, cannibalistic fury of the Reavers, savages who roam the very edge of space. Hunted by vastly different enemies, they begin to discover that the greatest danger to them may be on board Serenity herself

Behind the scenes
Serenity is an upcoming film from Joss Whedon set in the universe of the cancelled Fox science fiction television series Firefly, several months after the episode "Objects in Space".
Jane Espenson, one of the writers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly, announced in June 2003 at a Buffy convention in England, that Whedon was writing a script for a Firefly movie. Actors Nathan Fillion and Adam Baldwin confirmed this on the official Firefly forum, as did Whedon in several interviews. Universal Studios acquired the rights to Firefly.
On March 2, 2004, according to an article in Variety, the movie was officially greenlighted to enter production with a $40 million budget. Principal photography started on June 3, 2004 with a USA theatre release date planned for September 30, 2005. Joss Whedon said that the film would be released as Serenity, in order to differentiate it from the TV series. The 9 principal cast members from the television series all returned for the movie. On September 17, 2004 Joss Whedon announced on the official site that shooting had been completed.
Although critics of Firefly have been skeptical that a major motion picture based upon a short-lived series has a chance at success, fans of the series are hopeful that the film might lead to, if not a revival of the series, at least a film franchise. If Serenity is a success, it might also promote theatrical versions of other short-lived series.
According to an interview with Alan Tudyk, Serenity is the first in a three-picture Firefly contract with Universal.
