It didn't look like anyone else had posted about this, but sorry if I missed it!

Serenity is featured in the Fall Movie Preview in the Premiere Magazine September issue. It has Matt Damon on the cover. The article is on page 76. It's just your basic info blurb pretty much, and there's a nice (but rather small) picture of Mal, Wash and Zoe on the Bridge with dinos included.

SERENITY
Starring: Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk, Summer Glau, Adam Baldwin, Jewel Staite, Sean Maher, Morena Baccarin, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Ron Glass
Directed by: Joss Whedon
(Universal, September 30)
Maybe it's all those years he spent with Buffy the Vampire Slayer's undead on the brain, but Whedon just can't let things lie. When others turned his big-screen Buffy script from a darkly hip vision into full-blown camp, Whedon resurrected the premise as a hit TV show. And when his sci-fi western series Firefly was canceled after a contentious half-season on Fox in 2002, he pitched Universal on this retitled feature, spotlighting a story line in which the galaxy-oppressing Alliance is pursuing the escaped lab rat played by Glau. (Serenity is the name of the Firefly-class spaceship the cast is
flying.) "Part of why I worked so hard to make this movie happen was shame," Whedon says with a rueful laugh. "I had told these actors they were going to be working for seven years on the show - I felt like a schmuck."
Joss a second: Torres doesn't hold the layoff against him. "When we got canceled, Joss said, 'I'm not going to rest till I find safe
port for the ship.' And we went, 'Oh, that's nice - poetry.' But we were so giddy about the movie. The attitude really was, 'We're going to work - on a miracle!'"
