The people in Firefly already have done a fantastic job, great set design, wonderful sound and some incredible acting talent.

So let's say the Big Damn movie does wonderful, but there are plans to make the next one shine even brighter by attracting the mass public who still don't know the show, and by having a big actor/actress Firefly will be seen by more of the public in fireflyII - Serenity2. Maybe Joss decides to bring in a big star hollywood, maybe a bounty hunter, or to fill the role of whatever...be it one of those high-class fancy people who have lots of money and duel with swords, or maybe another person with perhaps some kind of psychic powers, or a big movie star or maybe Asian/Foreign film star, or someone who will play an Alliance commander.

Who would you pick ?

Anthony Hopkins -
great talent and made very good films
Chow yun fat -
HongKong movie star
Julia Roberts -
has had a lot of mainstreme sucess
Morgan Freeman -
has done some splendid acting
Peter O'Toole -
man of great professional skill and knowledge
Laurence Fishburne-
done passionate and skilled roles plus I'm sure he's seen the Firefly DVDs
Christopher Lee -
if you need a person playing monsters and villains this is the man
Maggie Cheung -
another Chinese talent and she's done very elegant roles
Gabriel Byrne -
very skilled and has done some nice work
Elizabeth Hurley -
made many successes in her film work

Do you think some of these folk would do very well or
Anyone else that you think might play a good role in a Firefly movie ?

Hard to say
Clint Eastwood for a sherif, Gong Li China's famous actress, the lovely Halle Berry , or Max von Sydow ?

One of those big name actors might have to be given a smallish role so that their input doesn't distract from the overall direction of firefly. It might be that just two or even one big movie star is enough

Sandra Oh. Not a superstar, except in my book, but a good actress and English is her native tongue.

Xiang Xi Li (sp?), from Crouching Tiger and other films. Her English isn't bad, I understand.

Pierce Brosnan could be a great villain.

I always liked the idea of Christopher Walken, as some kind of slightly obsessed, high-ranking official on either side, Alliance or Independent, and I would absolutely love the idea of Bruce Campbell (granted he's considered a B-movie actor, but come on, he's better than some well known A-movie "stars") as anyone, preferably a fellow transport-ship captain or a swarthy businessman.

I don't want to see any superstars anywhere near Serenity (excepting the fact that our BDHs are going to be superstars soon).

But some good character actors in juicy roles is another thing altogether. How about Gary Oldman, Lance Henrikson, Terry O'Quinn, or John Glover?

Laurence Fishburne would be shiny.

FYI I am not a Matrix fan!

I have to second the motion for no Hollywood superstars in the movie (as they tend to distract viewers from the intimacy of the story). However, for arguements sake, I wouldn't mind seeing Harrison Ford (is he still a superstar?) do a two-minute cameo. Might be amusing.

Took the words right outta my mouth.

Also, 2 words: Rip Torn.

I have no idea what he'd possibly be, but he amuses the hell outta me, and then I'd be amused, and that would be, uh, good.

Tom Cruise!! I want Tom Cruise on Serenity! That would be crazy. He could do a Collateral-like role as a contract killer.

Or maybe Bruce Willis could be an Alliance Fed that realized that the Serenity Crew is worth fighting alongside of. I'd slay puppies and kittens to see that one.

I'd also like to see Jason Statham (Transporter) or Jean Reno.
