No sequel for Serenity

[Meloncov]

Huh. I looked up the original quote. That article takes things out of context to appear somewhat more decisive than anything Whedon actually said. He makes it very clear that no project is currently underway, but he does not actually imply that there will never be a Serenity sequal.

I'm still holding out the slightest shread of hope that the show can come back, maybe on Sci-Fi. It won't happen, but it would be nice.

Studios have different ways of accounting.

Indeed. One trick I remember hearing about had the movie production company (say Warner Brothers) license the movie to the video division (say Warner Home Video) for $1. For certain accounting procedures this would only count as the video bringing in $1 (IIRC, certain actors contracts would end up using the $1 total).

As long as Whedon makes another movie of the same quality as Serenity I don't care if there ever is a sequel. I don't quite understand this need for rehashing good stuff. It must be the need for safety and comfort that makes people long for movies they have already seen. I simply trust Joss to make something new and exciting instead.

I really love Serenity though and have rented it several times in support of Whedon's efforts.

He said no sequel, but would a movie set between Firefly and Serenity really be a sequel? Just kidding.

Serenity. I'd make Serenity sequels until the public finally got a taste for quality.

Let me get you off on the right foot: if you're going for a wild blend of space-opera and two-fisted western, don't call your movie "Serenity". Laymen won't get the irony, and likely as not will dismiss it as an Ingmar Bergman film featuring naked old people.

Seriously, I don't know how Whedon didn't grasp what a big mistake the title was...

Dangit, they should have named it star wars episode sub 1

 

[Klaus]

Nah.

Space Cowboys.

With Jamiroquai as the trailer soundtrack!

 

[Dioltach]

Speaking of prequels, I assume that everyone has read the Serenity graphic novel?
