Universal Studios isn’t wasting any time in getting the sci-fi action-adventure flick Serenity on retail shelves in time for the holiday season. The feature-length extension of the short-lived FOX television series Firefly will be available on DVD and VHS on Dec. 20 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
Written and directed by Firefly creator Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel), Serenity centers on a band of intergalactic outlaws who emerge as the most unlikely of heroes when a young telepath is hunted by a totalitarian military regime known as The Universal Alliance. The film boasts impressive visual effects work by Zoic Studios and a strong cast led by series regulars Nathan Fillion (Dracula 2000, Saving Private Ryan), Gina Torres (The Matrix Revolutions, The Matrix Reloaded), Alan Tudyk (I, Robot, Into the West) and Adam Baldwin (Men In Black, The Poseidon Adventure).
The DVD will include such bonus materials as deleted scenes, outtakes, a special introduction and feature commentary by Whedon, and the featurettes Re-lighting the Firefly and What’s in a Firefly? The disc will carry a suggested retail price of $29.98. For more information on the film, go to www.serenitymovie.com.
