I was browsing IMDB as I usually do under the Serenity forums. Someone there posted this link:
http://www.whedon.info/article.php3?id_article=18360

Has anyone heard of this website before? It's filled with adverts and junk which makes me think it's something along the lines of Wikipedia, ie. Joe Public submissions. But I tried the forum and it's in French and I can't understand a word of it. I forwarded this onto Whedonesque but I dunno what'll come of that. It isn't like Joss is gonna investigate it himself.

What makes me skeptical is the complete lack of source. Yes, they claim it's from Joss, but they don't explain when, where, how the interview was taken. What irks me is that if it IS a false interview or report, why would someone even bother doing it?

Hadn't seen that particular page, but there are several others that are circulating that story.

The way I interpret what Joss said is that there is currently no sequel in the works, but not necessarily that there never will be. His comment about smothering it with a pillow refers only to the rumor that there is a sequel brewing so as to not get everyone's hopes up prematurely.

Whedon.info is usually pretty good, they've been around a long time, they do their own independent thing along with bringing together a lot of whedon related news.

Also, they do attribute their source, it's at the top of the page and says it's from Canmag.com

Kaele,

The article also points you towards whedonesque.com. I went there and here it is, straight from Joss (via Alexis' laptop) and yeah, it really is Da Man.

Hi boys and odd, smooth, compellingly bumpy non-boys. I'm in Liverpool, on Alexis' lap... sorry, laptop, checking in and seeing all sorts of nonsense about a sequel to something. I did run into someone at Forbidden Planet, and he said something about that I ought to make more things, possibly art things, and I agreed. He didn't know the fellow I was with was Brian Hitch but it was 'cause I'm so, yeah, awesome. Yes, Warren and Natalie and Brian and I had dinner, after nattering on for SFX at the hotel (I like that mag) and it was blazingly fun. They're all three multitalented, urbane, and surprisingly sweet. I'm none of those things but I came the farthest so they had to be nice. BUT...

There's no sequel, no secret project regarding Serenity or somesuch and I'm not even sure how anyone thought there was talk there. I've seen Nathan and Tim (and Summer and Alan) recently because they're my friends because I'm so, yeah, awesome. So let's put that to bed and smother it with a pillow.

Fun fact: Didn't read the thread, but as for James playing Shinzon: that's the reason he left for darkest Africa at the end of season six. We were giving him the time off to do the film. When it didn't happen, the course was already set. But he got a nifty soul and that worked out okay.

Oh, and I heard Marvel pushed back X-Men 18? I've delivered 19, and Johnny's working steadily, so blame the marketplace. In fact, overturn the marketplace, the way Jesus did when he was cranky about that thing that time.

Well now.

That's just the downside of shiny, ain't it?

Well. At least he's trying not to get our hopes up...

I would have been more surprised if he had said they were even talking about one right now- I think we all knew there isn't exactly a poll going on at the Universal Studios intranet for executives to chime in on the whole "BDM 2: Back in(the)Black" idea. So, as usual, we keep working, keep the faith, and make new friends (ie- Browncoats) on the way...

I heard of movies in the works with this or that actor slotted for the lead and the rumor persists for years making people bitter because nothing happens. At least we know the truth. I imagine if DVD sales continue and websites like this continue to grow, Fox or Universal will take another look at their options. I would rather wait until a direct quote comes from Joss than swelter in rumors. This not a bad sign. It only means they have other projects on their plate and Firefly has to wait its turn.
