Serenity

Serenity is an upcoming film from Joss Whedon set in the universe of the cancelled Fox science fiction television series Firefly, six months after the episode Objects in space.

Jane Espenson, one of the writers of Buffy 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 in June 2004 with a theatre release in 2005. Joss Whedon said that the film would be released as Serenity, in order to differentiate it from the TV series. The studio officially closed deals with some of the cast, including Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Morena Baccarin, Jewel Staite, Adam Baldwin, Sean Maher, Summer Glau and Ron Glass. It was not mentioned whether or not Alan Tudyk would reprise his role.
