Looks like there's new hope for a sequel from an Alan Tudyk interview. Please, please, please!

Ya know, as much as I really don't care for Wheddon, I love Firefly and Serenity...Go Figure. It would be great if there was to be a sequel. Of course, why Tudyk would be involved is nagging at me. Didn't they kill him off? Maybe a prequel or flashbacks or something. Either way, another Firefly flick would be cool. Hope it happens and doesn't end up like the X-files sequel, where every couple years it's brought up again, but never really comes to fruition.

I'm so sick of this...nothing is inked...it's somebody shooting the breeze and it'll cause a hysteria.

No show is worth this...not one.

RIP firefly.

I sure hope that the people who got Star Trek, Family Guy, and Jericho renewed never talked this way. The article may be bogus, but what else is Joss Whedon doing right now? He's probably in his shower thinking up some idea. As long as this 'verse is real to him, it can be real to others.

I'm going to do the same thing that I did with The X-Files sequel: Stop hoping for one until contracts are signed, screenplays are written, and production has started. If a sequel comes along, fantastic. If it doesn't, it's not the end of my world. I just hope that the hinting and teasing stops until there's something to hint and tease with (i.e. a definite sequel), because this is getting old.

Well, folks, here's how I see it. We gotta keep the signal strong and we gotta make it go further. In other words we gotta keep buzzin'! In whatever way, we have to generate enough buzz to convince 'Versal and TPTB that the interest in this story is powerful and widespread enough to be a worthwhile venture. It's been done once, it can be done again, and YOU, my brown-coated friends, are all amongst them as made it happen.

So let me urge you now to make it happen again.

Look what happened with Star Trek, after all. The first film was a box-office flop, but it wasn't the end - look how many films have been made since then. Ain't a power in the 'verse can stop us from doing the same.

I finally saw the series and movie about a month ago. It was enjoyable. And I would recommend that sci-fi fans give it a shot. But honestly? I can see why the series was canceled and why the movie didn't catch fire. They're both good, but not great. (IMO, of course)

Bad example with the Star Trek reference.

Even the Trekkies hated The Motion Picture...and the series proceeded on despite that setback, primarily because executives knew the formula for making a "good" Star Trek Movie...they just had to get less input from Roddenberry on it. Poof...Wrath of Khan. And though disappointing in returns...it did much better box office wise then Serenity did.

In Firefly's case, the fanbase loved Serenity...but that doesn't change the fact that it had lack-luster returns while opening in the "dead" season (between the Summer and Christmas film crunches). The truth played out...as vocal and ardent as the fans are...they are too few. The film was promoted as more of a "tribute to fans" then as a film to get strangers to the series in the door...which shut out a larger portion of the public.

Unless Series fans actually donate money to have more stuff made, no studio is going to do it...this show got a crack at the bigtime and disappointed.

Okay, okay, okay: Lets address these Serenity 2 rumors before anything else. I have no idea what you people are talking about! Seems to me someone (with a name that starts with A and ends in LAN) said something in an interview that was misconstrued as the sequel being greenlit, which is not the case at the moment. I will never say it will never happen, because that's just blasphemy in my opinion, but it's not happening at the moment... no matter what you read on the internet. You know better than to believe everything you read, anyway! (except this blog… cuz it's all true.)

Somewhat new fan here. Well, not that new. But after having the series for a few years before a little recently watching it in pretty much one day, yeah, I'm a fan. tongue Even loved the movie. And was sad that they cancelled the series at that, but would be nice to have a sequel. Atleast Staite isn't siding with saying there will be or won't be one. I guess we can never know until Whedon makes it official, but it would be nice. happy
