Serenity DVD cover art and spec!

Review
Joss Whedon- the Oscar(r)- and Emmy-nominated writer/director responsible for the worldwide television phenomena of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel-now applies his trademark compassion and wit to a small band of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future in his feature film directorial debut, Serenity.


The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family - squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal.


When Mal takes on two new passengers-a young doctor and his unstable, telepathic sister-he gets much more than he bargained for. The pair are fugitives from the coalition dominating the universe, who will stop at nothing to reclaim the girl. The crew that was once used to skimming the outskirts of the galaxy unnoticed find themselves caught between the unstoppable military force of the Universal Alliance and the horrific, cannibalistic fury of the Reavers, savages who roam the very edge of space. Hunted by vastly different enemies, they begin to discover that the greatest danger to them may be on board Serenity herself.


The film is based on Whedon's critically acclaimed, short-lived television series Firefly, which aired on the FOX TV Network during the fall of 2002. Set in a futuristic, post-Earth universe dominated by a planetary Alliance, the series chronicled the adventures of the ragtag spaceship Serenity and her eclectic crew of outcasts, led by Captain Malcolm 'Mal' Reynolds, played by NATHAN FILLION. Although FOX TV cancelled the show after only 11 of the 14 produced episodes had aired, Firefly's quirky mix of humor, complex characters and sci-fi had attracted a loyal and passionate following.


Serenity is written and directed by Joss Whedon; produced by Barry Mendel; and executive-produced by Christopher Buchanan, David Lester and Alisa Tager.

Not long to go.. What do you think of the cover?

[river]

I think the cover looks awesome!
Here's how the menu looks like


I heard many people wants the cover art to be changed, here's the petition to vote: new.petitiononline.com/SerenDVD/petition.html

I think whilst the cover inst a great representation of the film its whats needed to up the sales of the dvd. People will see the cover, they will be drawn in by it.

The browncoats wanted this so much and the response from Universal has been amazing. I really dont think it wise to rock the boat as it were with this petition. It might seem, in some eyes a tad ungreatfull.

The only problem I have with the cover is it looks like they "glammed up" River--she looks like she has make up on, her hair looks styled. Summer is a beautiful enough girl without all that and River needs to look a bit dishevled and crazy!
