I don't think it should be named to appeal to existing fans, that's not who we need to have shell out the $$$ to go see the movie. We'll all go see it multiple times even if it's called "barbie in space". Joss needs to come up with a name (and premise) that catches the interest of the non-initiated, while still being at least somewhat true to the original show.

Respectfully, I disagree! I think "Firefly" is more generally descriptive, plus it's more poetically evocative. "Serenity" is merely ironic, and flatly descriptive.
The words FIRE and FLY have more to them, plus the word FIREFLY has more to it, as far as levels/layers or potential meaning. "Serenity" is dull and flat by comparison.
In short, I think J.W.'s instincts about that title were right.

Hi Guys,
How about “Firefly : The Movie” or “Firefly : The Dawn of Darkness”…since Reavers are involved or “Firefly : The Endless Night” or if River is involved “Firefly : Crusade of the Mind”.
On the subject of “The Movie” in the last interview with Joss and Tim , Joss said it wasn’t a done deal just that he had lots of interest if he could come up with a good script.
Anyone heard anything else??

I don't think "the search for more money" would be a large crowd puller...sorry

Isn't it kind of funny that the movie will probably open on a Friday as most movies do?
