La nota de prensa original:
JOSS WHEDON TO BRIDGE HIS TV SERIES FIREFLY AND HIS UPCOMING UNIVERSAL PICTURES FEATURE FILM SERENITY WITH A THREE-ISSUE COMIC BOOK MINISERIES FOR DARK HORSE Released by Universal Studios Consumer Products Group
MILWAUKEE, Or. — May 2, 2005 — This fall Oscar® and Emmy-nominated writer/director Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel) makes his big-screen directorial debut with Universal Pictures’ Serenity, the futuristic action-adventure feature film follow-up to his cult-hit TV show Firefly. Firefly told the tale of a ship full of mercenaries, outlaws, fugitives, and one law-abiding prostitute running across the fringes of space. The Serenity film continues the story, and Dark Horse is proud to present a three-issue comic book miniseries that takes place between the TV show and feature film. Universal Pictures’ Serenity is scheduled for release in the U.S. on September 30th, 2005 and in the UK on November 4th, 2005.
«Working with Joss is always fun and a privilege, and especially so when it’s Serenity,» commented co-writer Brett Matthews. » I love the characters and the world so much, how distinct and consistent the vision is and always has been. That sometimes to just keep going is enough, that there’s meaning in the struggle even if you don’t know exactly what that meaning is — that speaks to me, and you get it in Serenity in a way that’s dusty and real and organic, not forced. It just fits. It all just means a hell of a lot to me.»
The plot of the comic book series centers on the crew members of the ship known as Serenity, who once again find themselves broke and on the wrong side of a number of very large firearms when a heist goes awry, and some old enemies catch their scent. After facing one failure after another, Malcolm Reynolds becomes the target of a conspiracy between government and mercenary forces, and a tense and divided crew must try to unite behind their compromised leader. Mixing intense Whedon-style dialogue with cinematic action and violence, artist Will Conrad and colorist Laura Martin paint a rough and wild world of adventure across a dangerous universe.
Serenity is a three-issue comic book miniseries written by Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews with art by Will Conrad and Laura Martin. Each issue of the series will feature three different covers one for each member of the Serenity crew, drawn by the biggest names in comics. Issue #1 features «Mal» by John Cassaday, «Inara» by J. G. Jones, and «Jayne» by Bryan Hitch. Subsequent covers come from such artists as Joe Quesada, Josh Middleton, and Jo Chen. Serenity #1 arrives on sale July 6 with a retail price of $2.99
