Actually, it's more complicated than you think. There are two different Kanjis. One was used for the series, and one for the BDM. The translation for each one is slightly different, but the visual image is VERY different.
From the very useful Firefly Pinyinary site:
What's the difference between the two written "Serenities"?
Firefly TV series: 平静 [ Traditional: 平靜 ] ping2jing4 tranquil (lake), peaceful, undisturbed, quiet
Serenity Movie: 宁静 [ Traditional: 寧靜 ] ning2jing4 serene (life), tranquil, tranquility, still, quiet
The two versions of Serenity are on the left.
Hope this helps.

Book: River? Please, why don't you come on out?
River: No! Can't. Too much hair.

BTW, I made a plaque of the movie kanji, and I can tell you that the second character is a real PITB to draw!
