No, this isn’t a reboot of the Joss Whedon space show-turned-feature film. Serenity is an original thriller from Oscar nominee Steven Knight (Dirty Pretty Things) and reunites Oscar winners and Interstellar co-stars Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club) and Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables).

Existing somewhere between TV’s Bloodline and Sleeping with the Enemy, the story centers on a fishing boat captain named Baker Dill (McConaughey) who leads tours off a tranquil, tropical enclave called Plymouth Island. But his peaceful existence is shatterd when his ex-wife Karen (Hathaway) tracks him down and makes a desperate plea for help, begging Baker to save her, and their young son, from her new, violent husband (Jason Clarke).

Serenity also stars Jeremy Strong and Oscar nominees Diane Lane (Unfaithful) and Djimon Hounsou (In America). It will be release by Avrion Pictures on October 19th, 2018.

Here is the trailer.

Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
