Yesterday, Universal has revealed Joss Whedon's Serenity is set for DVD release on December 20th. The film will be available in dual anamorphic widescreen and full frame editions (MSRP $29.98 each). Both versions will include Dolby Digital 5.1 audio, deleted scenes, outtakes, a video introduction with Whedon, audio commentary with writer/director Joss Whedon and 3 featurettes (including Future History: The Story of Earth That Was, What's in a Firefly and Re-Lighting the Firefly).
