Kinda like this one...only if Tom's killer plays Jayne's one true long-lost love, too. >snort<

Might be fun to see Johnny Depp as a pre-River Alliance experiment, gone horrribly wrong...
Ioan Grudduff as a boy whore...
Or how about Richard Simmons as the ship's fitness coach?

Oldman would remind me too much of 5th Element, hehe
But Lance Henrikson and Bill Paxton would be great in the sequel.
I think they could play anything from shady fugitives to hired mercenaries (either hired by Mal or another party).
Or some other people from the Colonial Marines from Aliens.... Jeanette Goldstein (Vasquez) and Michael Biehn (Hicks)
They are no superstars but I think they would fit in quite well.
Even can imagine them all together in uniforms and browncoats as some lost squad on a backwater planet/moon were they still think that the war is going on :)

Think of the potential for the gag reel, depending on who else might be in town while Harry's on set.

Halle Berry won't do it unless she's the staring role. Personally, I would say none. Our BDH are the superstars. Let the script and the acting sell the movie not a "superstar."
Kaylee: Wash, tell me I'm pretty
Wash: Were I unwed I would take you in a manly fashion
Kaylee: 'Cause I'm pretty?
Wash: 'Cause you're pretty

Ok, I've got some names for you, they ain't superstars but I reckon some of these folks might be very good as perhaps an Alliance commander or a former General from the core or something. I reckon one of they should only be given a small role but this might work out very nicely

Harrison Ford might be very cool

I think it'd be cool to see some actors from other good sci-fi series or movies. I see Sigourney Weaver as an Alliance bigwig, or Brent Spiner as a shady dealer with a big job for the crew. I think if you're gonna have guest "stars" (though I agree that casting 'big name superstars' dilutes the integrity of the film), they should be from the sci-fi universe because they (generally) understand that the vision, as well as the fan appreciation, is (generally) more important the fame (though it IS nice to make that mad ca$h).
All that said, I think it'd be interesting to see Wash visited by an old buddy from back home, played by Will Smith (sci-fi veteran and Alan Tudyk's "I, Robot" castmate).

Well, Bruce Campbell definitly, but I'm more interested in other tv sci-fi vets and character actors showing up in the movie.
Like one bit of stunt casting I'd like to see is Robert Picardo aka. The Doctor off of VOYAGER. And he'd be involved in the Simon plot-line. Maybe as a former teacher from his Medacad days or a relative or something like that.
I just think that it would be funny to see one sci-fi tv doctor (and a hologram, no less) conversing or criticizing another.

Gordon Michael Woolvett AKA Harper from Andromeda would be good. He's the one of the few solid actors on that show and makes its viewable. A crazy, horny, tormented, and occasionally not so nice guy like “The Harper” would fit right in on Serenity.
Hell I was cheering for him to pull the trigger when he had his gun aimed at Kevin Sorbo in a recent episode.
Bruce Campbell and 'The Doctor' on Voyager would be neat too.
