UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- A
band of intergalactic outlaws on the run emerge as the most
unlikely of heroes in the visually spectacular and thrilling
action adventure, Serenity, available on DVD and VHS on

Written and directed by Academy Award(R) and Emmy nominee
Joss Whedon, the creative genius behind “Buffy the Vampire
Slayer“ and “Angel,“ Serenity combines mind-blowing visual
effects with an ingenious plot and unforgettable characters
to take viewers on an edge-of-the-seat chase through
fantastic and dangerous new worlds. Based on Whedon’s cult

adventure features the series’ original cast including 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“). Serenity transports its audience into
a truly original, fully realized vision of mankind’s possible
future.
Set in a post-apocalyptic universe, Serenity finds
Captain Malcolm “Mal“ Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) and the crew
of the rebel spaceship Serenity taking on both the all-
powerful Universal Alliance and the murderous Reavers --
cannibalistic savages living on the outskirts of
civilization -- as they fight to protect a beautiful young
fugitive with a deadly secret. Jam-packed with deleted
scenes, outtakes and more exclusive features, the DVD is
priced at $29.98 SRP. Preorder close is November 15, 2005.

A passenger with a deadly secret. Six rebels on
the run. As assassin in pursuit. When the renegade crew of
Serenity agrees to hide a fugitive on their ship, they find
themselves in an action-packed battle between the relentless

anything -- or anyone -- to get the girl back and the
bloodthirsty creatures who roam the uncharted areas of
space. But, the greatest danger of all may be on their
ship. From the mind of Joss Whedon (“Buffy the Vampire
Slayer,“ “Angel“) comes a new edge-of-your-seat adventure
loaded with explosive battles, gripping special effects and

Is that a definite date for Oz? I ask since I'd love to hear a date for the UK!

It's the date I've been given from a reliable source, he's never wrong about these things (I'm still hoping he's wrong now though, Feb 8 is so long away!).

You can keep her. Really.
And um... er... quick, lets say something DVD related so we're technically not hijacking this thread!
I can't wait to see the outtakes and extended/deleted scenes.

I figured that Joss would do a writer/director's commentary,
but I thought we would get a second, cast, commentary too!
I thought Adam Baldwin said they (Universal) had scheduled time for recording it??
I'm going to be so disappointed....
if I don't get my cast commentary!
actually I wanted 3 or 5 commentaries....
I'd love a CGI commentary
and a stunts coordinator commentary
and a set & costume designer commentary
(can you tell that I love commentaries?)

That'd be shiny!

Embers, dearie, don't fret! You know how this works. They release the DVD with one commentary and couple extras, with an ugly cover. We all rush out and buy it ("Serenity Now!"). Then nine months down the road there's a thread titled "Serenity Special Edition coming soon!!!" It's more expensive, has an extra disk, and, of course, we all rush out and buy it.
