I don't know if this is posted yet but take a look at this Filmforce.net report:
Exclusive: A Serenity Sequel?
This one's for the Browncoats.
by IGN FilmForce
December 1, 2005 - IGN FilmForce has heard that, although it was very disappointed in the poor boxoffice showing for Serenity, Universal may not have retired Captain Malcolm Reynolds and his renegade crew just yet.
Sources said that, given the strong sales of the TV series Firefly on DVD, Universal is planning a sequel film to Serenity that will be produced with and to broadcast premiere on the Sci Fi Channel, which is part of the NBC Universal family.
The project is said to be a lower budget undertaking streamlined for the small-screen.
IGN FilmForce checked with Joss Whedon's camp who denied the claim; Universal did not comment.
Time will tell if this rumor pans out.
Whatdyaallthink?

I read this on ign.com today as well, and it seems to make a lot of sense to me. Sci-fi would be the perfect place for Serenity sequel, and the medium helps keep the cost relatively low.
By the way, I'm a new convert to the 'verse (i saw the movie about a month ago and was hooked), and I am PSYCHED!

I certainly hope you can understand my full meaning when I say that this is the best news I've heard all month.

Unfortunately the source of the rumor was an idiot child.

Joss wouldn't deny it if it was true, he'd just offer no comment.
Idiots trying to make us excited is my bet, ignore the children.

If it's true, it's awefully shiny. And I'll certainly take it.

Why not just finance another series? It'll cost about the same as a movie, and a series is what most people prefer. Also gives the network more advertising revenues (because there'll be more time for advertisments), and the chance of non-converts randomly tuning in will be greater for a series than for a movie, hence a better chance to increase the fanbase. I could go on and on about how they should be talking about Firefly: The TV Show instead of FIrefly: The Made-For-TV Movie.
Still good news, though. Something's better than nothing.

This type of project could very easily be the beginning of a return to TV full-time. That's exactly what happened with Battlestar Galactica.

Good point.

Yes, exactly.
Make the equivalent of a second series pilot episode.
If it is popular enough, they would then have the sets and stuff ready to go for a restart of the series. If it doesn't pan out, they have not commited themselves to so much.
I'll just wait and see (but not hold my breath).
Erk! Starting... to... turn... blue!
Gasp! Whew! Well, THAT didn't work now did it?
