A FIREFLY fansite called Browncoats has published what appears to be a casting call breakdown sheet for the SERENITY feature film, describing the supporting characters needed to be filled for the movie. In all the sheet describes 13 characters including the need for a child actress to play River Tam at the age of 10.

While the sheet doesn't reveal specific story spoilers about what will happen in Joss Whedon's movie, it does hint at places we'll get to see the crew of the Serenity, and it definitely tells us of the new people we'll see. For instance, there's the character known as "The Operative", a mysterious government agent that is pursuing the Serenity across the galaxy. Or how about "Mr. Universe", an acquaintance of Malcolm Reynolds that is described as being "the ultimate information junkie." There's also descriptions for an older companion friend of Inara's; a doctor that seems to be the one that experimented on River; two identical twins that have a business deal with Mal; and another doctor that appears as a hologram on a "desolate" planet. And there's more.

More details awaut you at the Browncoats website, with a slight SPOILER warning we'd like to issue.
