No sequel for Serenity

[Ranger REG]

Ever used one of them?

Back in the 80's, I touched an Apple.

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...

Also, don't cast TV actors in what you want to be a big budget blockbuster.

TV actors are not all bad. Patrick Stewart managed to do well after three X-Men films. Tom Hank as well.

Besides, I would have a fit if they recast the characters, if you're transitioning from TV to film. That's like recasting Kirk while Shatner is still able in the 80's.

However, I will agree that they should not have spent that much money in production. Serenity is a decent film, but not meant to be a major blockbuster.

And that hand hurts on a rainy day ever since?

Because of the name value or because TV actors are bad? The latter is certainly not true, but the former might indeed be a problem.

I'll be sure to tell Michael J. Fox that he shouldn't have been cast on Back to the Future.

I can't wash the filth since.

Okay, I know you're not responding to me because that is not my statement.

Are you complaining about the quality of there actors (which I wouldn't consider a valid complaint) or just the publicity of the names?

Yes, that was a post by mattcolville. I forgot (read: Was to lazy) to add his name to the quote tags.

No Serenity, but check this out.

Well the real shame is no sequel for Serenity, but we will have to endure yet another Bloodrayne movie.
