Given that Serenity had a relatively tight production budget of $39 millions, Joss Whedon had to find ways to cut some costs; recycling movie props is a very common way to do it and it allowed Whedon to have fancy looking movie props for cheap.
For example, River Tam's restraint chair in Serenity was originally used in the movie Species 2, starring Natasha Henstridge as the mutant named Eve.
Here's a screen shot and promo photo showing Natasha Henstridge in the metal chair that Eve is strapped into towards the beginning of the film when she's used to demonstrate a toxic substance.
Here are photos of the (slightly modified for use in Serenity) metal chair that River Tam is strapped into at the beginning of the film when we see what the Alliance was doing to her, as well as screencaps of the room were the experiments were taking place when Simon comes in to rescue her.
Joss Whedon reused other movie props in Serenity, feel free to mention them in the comment section below.

Joss Whedon : "And then we're all tearing up. It was really extraordinary"
Nathan Fillion's Comic-Con diary.
"Firefly was what brought me here ten years ago for the first time. I won't soon forget that. ... Although I still get to see my friends from Firefly [including Summer Glau, right], it's rarely all at once and never a venue for talking just about Firefly."
 
Larry Hagman (Dallas on TNT) is on the cover of this special issue of Entertainment Weekly, photographed exclusively for EW by Jill Greenberg on July 9, 2012, in Los Angeles.
Erin Way (see promo picture below) is the newest addition to the Alphas team in Syfy's action-drama Alphas. She describes her character, named Kat, as a woman with an extraordinary ability that takes its toll on her mind. “Her special ability is that she can basically learn any skill instantly. That includes knowledge and muscle memory,” said Erin Way. “The only downside is that she has a bit of a memory problem. So after about a month or so, she’s losing memories of the past. So while she retains the [abilities], she can’t remember how she learned them…or where she came from.”
While doing an interview for TVOvermind to promote her arrival in the show, Erin Way discussed her relationship with other Alphas and mentioned her meeting with Summer Glau, who plays Skylar Adams.
Alphas' second season will feature Sean Astin, Lauren Holly and Summer Glau (a.k.a. Skylar Adams) as pivotal guest stars. I was curious if Erin shot many scenes with Glau, and if they'd talked about being former ballerinas? "We've talked quite a bit about it. We've worked together now for a little bit and I'm enjoying it immensely. I met her for the first time several weeks ago and was extremely excited because I'm a giant Firefly fan. She's one of the sweetest, most kindest girls that I've ever met in my life. She's a lovely, lovely soul. At one point, someone mentioned that she was going to go do a benefit for some ballet company and that was the first I heard about her ballet background. If I'd really observed her body, though, I would've guessed (it) because she definitely still carries herself like a dancer." Continuing, "We've had lots of conversations about our favorite ballets and what we love about it. We both have very similar reasons for choosing not to continue with it too. Just last night we were joking about various combinations that you have to do across the room in ballet class: which ones we hated and which ones we enjoyed. We have that very much in common."

Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles executive producer James Middleton has granted us permission to use a behind the scenes photo of TSCC season 2 episode 17 'Ourselves Alone'.
On the photo, you can see a smiling Summer Glau and Thomas Dekker, as well as crew members, amidst preparations for the filming of the scene inwhich John helps fix Cameron's damaged hand. This scene is a great moment for all Jameron fans but also regarding John's training to become the leader of the Resistance in the future (Cameron says : "You're ahead of schedule with what you need to learn").
Here's the photo, courtesy of James Middleton :
In order to help you put this photo back in the context, here are a few screencap from the scene :
  
And since i know you love TSCC as much as i do, here's a bonus picture, also from James Middleton, featuring Josh Friedman himself holding the coolest not-really-nuclear gun ever to grace the small screen. Enjoy!
As you can see, there's new material even after a few years the serie was cancelled; feel free to comment these new photos in the comment section below.
Summer Glau wearing the gorgeous ERIN by Erin Featherston cream shirred strapless gown at The Dizzy Feet Foundation Second ‘Celebration of Dance’ Gala was designated 'Best Dressed Of The Week' at fashion-specialized website 'Red Carpet Fashion Awards'.
Summer Glau was by far the best dressed this week.
I don’t think the ‘Firefly’ actress had any real competition, even with so many couture looks that hit the red carpet this week.
Dressed in an ERIN by Erin Fetherston champagne gown, Summer lived up to her name bringing a ray of sunshine to the red carpet at the Dizzy Feet Foundation’s second annual celebration of dance gala.
Free flowing brunette locks, gold Tresor earrings and a shell-like gold clutch completed her BDOTW winning look.
Summer Glau looks gorgeous indeed, this nomination is fully deserved.

A proud dad posted the story of her daughter, who performed a solo ballet routine in a fundraising gala hosted by the Dizzy Feet Foundation. Do you see what I am getting at?
The little ballerina got the chance to meet and have a picture with a few stars from FOX's So You Think You Can Dance, but i'm sure she was also very proud to have a picture taken with ballerina-turned-actress Summer Glau.
