Are we gonna get a sequel?

[Kirath]

The title says it all.

[skritsys]

I enjoyed the movie and would love to see a sequel.

Spoiler:

even though it seemed like they were just killing off Walsh and Book for whatever reason

[SlytherinGal]

nooooooooooooo, we can't have a sequel anymore...cuz

Spoiler:

Wash is gone *tear*

now a prequel wouldn't be a bad idea

[White Knight]

Spoiler:

Don't knock the death of Wash and Book. It was sad, but it had to happen. Book's death launched Mal and co. on thier mission, and Wash's death made their whole predicament so much more real and frightening, especially when another character was hurt. How many people were absolutly, 100% positive that Kaylee was gonna come through? Or Simon? Or Zoe? I didn't think so. There were even split-seconds where I feared for Jayne and River and Mal. We never would've been so invested in the film if that hadn't happened. And at least Wash died truly being a Big Damned Hero, saving the crew in an incredible bit of flying.

And yes, there will be a sequel. $35 million in the bag already, at least another $20 million from Browncoats buying the DVDs, not to mention the imminent release for New Zealand and Western Europe. Universal is already leaning towards a sequel, and they don't necissarily have to make $80 million to get a sequel (I believe that Joss said that the $80 million was what they needed to definatly get a sequel, but if they're a little under that it could easily still happen).

Brilliant! I hope they explore Books past...

[Kensterman]

A prequel? That would be interesting too! We'd see how the characters came to be, etc.....just like in Star Wars, I think it might be very cool if they went that route. Mind you, it'll be even better if they bring back the series!!! They should <sigh>.

[creed462]

They also seem to set up a more dangours enemy, so that will be interesting.

[Kensterman]

Wow! A sequel??? I hope this is a definite go and it doesn't get scrapped. Arghhh...why don't they just bring back the regular series That way, we can get more of the show on a weekly basis.

Maybe with the recent movie and a sequel it'll bring back even more interest to justify Firefly returning to the tube

i hope they explore the past too and maybe come up with a prequel Serenity movie or even a series

[MartoufMarty]

I hear that they have a three movie deal.

[Kensterman]

I guess they maybe decided to not bring back the series but instead concentrate in making movies instead just like in Star Trek The Next Generation whereby the series ended to go onto the big screen. Probably more money going that route.

Either way, FOX is probably kicking themselves now

[SlytherinGal]

prolly

[White Knight]

Joss has already gone on record saying that he won't make a prequel movie or series, since there's already enough material to cover the time before the series, and the other gaps in the timeline will be filled in as the franchise continues (which he originally intended to with future season of Firefly). This is despite the fact that all the BDH,

Spoiler:

even Alan Tudyk and Ron Glass,

are signed on for another two movies, and Joss said that

Spoiler:

Tudyk and Glass

will definatly be in future movies (and "not in a cheesy twin-sibling kinda way"), begging the question of how will he do this? Don't know, but I'm keen to find out. Bring on Serenity 2!

[Resident-Seven]

They could always bring them back in flashbacks/memories of things we never got to see in Serenity/Firefly.

That fits in with what Joss has done so far with the 'Verse (look at 'Out of Gas'), but there'll be a lot of fans upset that there isn't a bigger part for the character. Whether Joss will cater to them or stick to his guns will be something I'm eager to find out.

Joss is the sort of rare fellow who can make a small part big though. Book only had two scenes in the film, and yet he felt like a large presence cos every word he said had import and resonance. Even Mr Universe,

Spoiler:

who only had three scenes in his short existence - and one of them as a voice of a doll -

was made three-dimensional in a tiny space of time. I think Joss could make worthwhile and 'big'-feeling parts for our dear departed in flashbacks.

Good, I hope it hurts.

[Ascended Times.2]

Good, I hope it hurts.

I concur 100%. *I despise FOX*

You'd know that if you've read any of my previous posts aroud here...

[Shep'sSocks]

I don't know why anyone would take their TV show to FOX, what with their track record. Honestly, their execs must be braindead.
