Since Joss is busy doing wonder woman.. what if someone else picked up the project to complete it.. do you think it would be the same?? what if he just gave the story arc and stood back?? Would you see a not all Joss W Serenity??
This is all what ifs.. none of it is real.. but post what you think about it as a true firfly fan..
"Sure. It would be humiliating, having to lie there while the better man refuses to spill your blood. Mercy is the mark of a great man." *Pokes Atherton in the gut*
"Guess I'm just a good man.'' *Pokes him again*
"Well, I'm all right."

If it was Tim Minear with Joss' approval and complete coordination and trust.... then of course I would! Joss I'm sure would have a hand in the story and the editing etc. just like he did on the show.
This was in another thread too, and I agreed then that Tim could do it just fine.
IMHO Tim has a wonderful "feel" in his writing and directing for who Mal is... therefore he could do it.

If we don't see it, how can we bash it? Wait, forget I said that.

If it were our cast and Joss or Tim wrote it, yes, I would definitely see it. MANY TIMES!
If it were our cast and someone other than Joss or Tim wrote & directed it? I would still see it. I would support our BDHs and would love to see the story continued.

If Joss keeps control of the project (script approval etc) as I assume he would,
then I would watch it no matter who wrote it!
In addition to Tim Minear we have
Ben Edlund (Jayne's Town)
and
Jane Espensen (Shindig)
and a lot of other really wonderful writers who are more than capable to bringing us a worthy sequel!
Frankly I'll be going to see anything that is made,
and buying ever comic,
and I'm even up for the shadow puppet theater...

Sure would. At least I'd give it the benefit of a doubt. As crucial as Joss is to Firefly/Serenity, I don't think that he's nessesarily the only person who could do well by it.
Particularly since, no matter how buys he might get, it's still Joss' baby, and I can't imagine him going entirely hands-off with it.
Written by Ben Edlund and directed by Tim Minear would work. Though there's probably some very talented people we've never heard of that could bring something nice to the mix.

Let me add to my post....
Yea, our cast WOULD HAVE to be in it.
And you all are right about lots of other talent from the show writing and directing.
As long as Joss oversees it, even from a distance and it's our BDH I'm in. No matter what.

Well, Joss has said that he'd promised Tim Minear that Tim would be involved in any sequel. Joss would probably provide the story arc, and given that he's said he's already written the first scene of the sequel, he might even co-write.
But he certainly doesn't have to direct, which is the most time-consuming of all. Indeed, when Tim was asked about Joss & Serenity, his response was "I hope he doesn't fuck it up; I want to direct the sequel."
As long as Whedon is involved in the story level (which he kinda has to be), I'd be more than happy to watch a Minear-directed (& co-written) Serenity 2: The Search for Badger's Hat or whatever they'll call it. One of Joss' great talents is surrounding himself with other brilliant people, so if he can't do all the writing or directing, he's got a lotta friends he could call.

Based on the near foaming at the mouthness JW has had about Firefly/Serenity and all its assorted trials, tribulations, woes, hills, valleys, etc...
... I have very very serious doubts he'd be willing to turn it over to anyone any time soon. Maybe, if it takes off and becomes a hige franchise, Star Wars or Star Trek style, he'd bring other on to handle other incarnations.
But if (we pray) there IS a Serenity 2, it's pretty much a guarantee he's NOT be willing to have anyone else handle it, not even Minear. Firefly was JW's brain child, his baby, his obsession, his myriad of other assorted cliche's, and I don't think that's died down for him.
