"Firefly" TV show lasted only eleven weeks on the Fox network, but it gained enough loyal followers to sell tons of DVDs. Given the strength of after-broadcast sales, writer-director Joss Whedon persuaded Universal Pictures to produce Serenity, a successful motion picture derived and adapted from his so-called "space-western." The "Firefly" television series also has morphed into graphic novels and a role-playing game. Set in 2517, "Firefly" shows the arrival of humans in a new star system aboard the spaceship "Serenity." Its nine-member ensemble cast represents different cultures and social classes coping with pioneer living on the perimeter of their star system. According to Whedon, "Firefly" dramatizes the lives and views of ""nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things." In Whedon's view, "nothing will change in the future: technology will advance, but we will still have the same political, moral, and ethical problems as today."
