Great interview!

"The Dude: I have to ask the inevitable, is the fate of Serenity sealed? Are there going to be more adventures?
Joss Whedon: The DVD sales will have a lot to do with that."
Sounds like Joss agrees with me, DVD sales are going to make or break a continuation. Interesting that he's considering possibilities like Direct-to-DVD, though.

Well, this makes the IGN report a little clearer. Since Joss isn't opposed to a direct to DVD Buffy movie and he probably won't be opposed to something similar in the Firefly universe, how far off is it from a combination Sci-Fi movie and DVD release? It may be that people at Universal are mulling the idea of a Serenity II movie on Sci-Fi channel and haven't brought it up yet with Joss.
From the previous Playboy interview, it seems that Joss might not be opposed to a Serenity II directed by Tim M. so if Joss is not available for a Serenity II Sci-Fi movie because of WW, maybe Tim M. will be tapped to do this.

Also here is another idea. Maybe Joss likes the idea of a sequel for Serenity (even if it is direct to DVD) but has come to conclusion that he doesn't have time (or the desire) anymore for a series. So he may oppose the idea of a Sci-Fi Serenity movie because he may fear getting trapped into a new Firefly series because there might be some sort of option on the project for that (I would assume most Sci-Fi movies have series options for the cast and creative crew if they are picked up as a series).
Maybe the Universal release was a trial ballon to see if Joss bites. If he isn't they have several options:
1) Offer him $$$$$ (unlikely since the whole goal on this is to make money on this project)
2) Try to get him to agree to be an executive producer and have Tim M. do most of the heavy lifting. That would allow Joss to keep all of his friends employed but provide him some creative distance if it turns out not to be successful (Joss doesn't need to see third incarnation of Firefly flop on his resume).
3) Approach him about doing some direct to DVD stuff. The question is when would Joss have time to do this since it is obvious that Joss will not be getting the big bucks for this project.

Sounds like I'm gonna be buyin' DVD's and wishin' lots that all this hinting around pans out!
* starts back over her budget to see if there is a couple more DVD's she can purchase for friends and family*
I've never wished for somethin' so hard in my life!
