Det här är nu bortplockat från sin originalsida uppenbarligen (ta det som ni vill), men det verkar som om Joss & Co. letar efter folk för att fylla följande roller till filmen. M.a.o.: spoilers!
All roles open to ethnicities (except River at 10). PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES.
[THE OPERATIVE] A Government agent, The Operative is thoughtful, a little removed, with wire-rimmed glasses and neatly trimmed hair, wearing a suit too nondescript to be a uniform and too neat to be casual wear. An expert martial artist, assassin, investigator and tracker, who moves with the fluid grace of a killer and speaks with the eloquent sophistication of a very intelligent man. Cool in his strategic planning but a bit feral when provoked, The Operative is on a headlong collision course with a rogue ship full of renegades and thieves...LEAD
[MR. UNIVERSE] An unkempt young man, sleep-deprived, over-caffeinated and kinda sweet, he lives in an empty industrial complex on a deserted moon. Accompanied only by his lovebot, Mr. Universe is the ultimate information junkie, monitoring pretty much everything in the universe (hence his name) through a variety of video feeds and monitors. An old buddy of Mal, Mr. Universe knows he'll only hear from his pal if he's in mortal danger and needs a secret code -- or something -- to get him out of the latest spitstorm...LEAD/CAMEO 3 scenes.
[DOCTOR MATHIAS] 35-50. A cold man, more than a little satisfied with himself, Doctor Mathias is not instantly likable -- nor gradually, for that matter. He fiddles with the cerebral cortices of teenagers, and his pride in his questionable achievements has made him blind to potential ethics violations...9 speeches & 15 lines, 2 scenes
[MINGO & FANTY] 20s. A pair of young tough identical twins, whose social status is somewhere between gangsters and fur-traders. With accents that sound lower class British, Mingo and Fanty are indistinguishable from each other. Middlemen who handle stolen goods and keep the best part of the cut, they are the equivalent of the Kray Brothers of the outer rim of the galaxy. Intent on screwing Mal after his latest bank job goes badly awry, Mingo and Fanty have a quarrelsome negotiation with the cantankerous Mal, who wants to keep more than 60% of his haul. British accents are preferable but not a must...2 speeches & 8 lines, 2 scenes; 1 speech & 5 lines, 2 scenes
[SHEYDRA] A slightly older companion (40-45), Sheydra is elegant, likeable and well-spoken. She lives in a Companion Training House with Inara, and compliments her on her skill at training a new generation of consorts and courtesans. But her compliments fail to impress Inara, who is convinced that her latest crop of students are sweet, but hopelessly gauche and too undisciplined ever to qualify as true Companions. Sheydra tries to draw out Inara's reminiscences of her adventures with Mal...3 speeches & 7 lines, 1 scene
[TEACHER] The 30-50 female teacher of a group of highly gifted children, including 12 year old River, she is a soft-spoken, intelligent woman who tries to instill a belief in the virtues of The Alliance in her students...2 speeches & 11 lines, 2 scenes
[DOCTOR CARON] 40-60. female scientist (think Jane Goodall), Doctor Caron is seen as a hologram. On the desolate planet of Miranda, Doctor Caron leaves behind her hologram as an urgent message to future explorers...6 speeches & 3 lines, 1 scene
[LENORE] Early-mid 20's; A mannikin like lovebot, she is the sole companion of Mr. Universe, and lives with him on a distant and isolated moon. Dormant while Mr. Universe chats with Mal, she ultimately passes along a secret message to Mal...1 speech & 5 lines, 3 scenes
[RIVER TAM AT 10] River seen at 10 years old, she is a very bright young woman with remarkable mental powers. Insightful and empathetic, she intuitively understands the frontier rebels and their quest for freedom...1 speech & 5 lines, 2 scenes SHOULD RESEMBLE SUMMER GLAU AT 10 YEARS OLD
[YOUNG MAN] A young tough, he is one of the hostages in the bank heist. Aggressive enough to think about shooting his way out of trouble, he foolishly pursues the bank robbers, hoping
to hitch a ride with them out of trouble...3 lines, 2 scenes
[ENSIGN] 20s. A young ensign aboard a spaceship, he ferries The Operative during his cross-galaxy pursuit of the Serenity...1 speech & 3 lines, at least 2 scenes
[GUARD] A young alliance bank guard on a far-distant trading station, he is an easily cowed greenhorn...6 lines, 2 scenes
