Hi there
Over the last week or so it seemed that there were a few wires crossed in regards to Joss' posting on whedonesque about a follow up to Serenity. Shortly after his first post online to quash any rumours that a sequel was in the works many sites (including ign)reported that the franchise was completely dead and buried.

The actual point Joss was getting across was that there isnt any plans at the moment. He has since posted again to reassure everyone.

I know that this has already been discusses on another thread but thanks to the lovely Followmal for this link. I say never say never. Im still thinking one day we will rise again.

JaynezTown,

SUNNYJ is correct.

Joss was trying to squash a rumour that he
was secretly writing a Serenity sequel and newspeople took that information out of context.

Here is part of his reply to the false rumour that he said NEVER. And he will not be keeping any Serenity news a secret.

All these rumor of projects or the death of projects... When the two worlds align and something actually happens, whatever it is, you guys know I'll be on this site as soon as I'm allowed to be. And I'll be very very clear. There is no news. Not never, just now.

He is writing a sequel to Serenity: Those Left Behind (the graphic novel) It is called Serenity: Better Days (comic book released 2007) and probably later released as a graphic novel. Joss is not secretly writing this either.

Well a lot of people thought that the firefly fans would not get a movie. Though, I have to admit the likelihood of firefly fans getting a sequel to Serenity or even a "real" continuation of the series is pretty small. But there is always reason to hope. I'm with Anonymous1 with NEVER SAY NEVER. As a relatively new fan to the series I can only hope to see another adventure into the firefly universe.

You're right Anony and right below the article is a button to contact the editors.

I sent them a very nice letter telling them that I usually love reading their site as it's so comprehensive and inclusive. They also reviewed Serenity wonderfully and I reminded them of this.
I used my best pleases and thank yous and also made the letter from my home address and my personal name. I want them to understand that I want the story straight as someone who reads their site, not just a Firefly fan. I didn't mention I was a Browncoat.. I just made it from me.

I copied them to the link on Whedonesque and asked them to fix the story.
All of us should be doing this, as citizens, not just Browncoats. We need to have the record set straight. Everywhere.

fingers in ears... lalalalalalala I can't HEAR YOU!!!

that IMDB thing was wrong.. (what else is new??) I think it's pretty clear there will be a sequel.. when is unclear, but the if is definitely resolved.. too many hints.. there is a burning ember under all that smoke screen...

Now.. I would prefer a cable show like BSG with time to savor the characters.. but, that is less assured to my mind...

Seriously, another season on tv is more likely an option from a business perspective than another Serenity movie. I am sure that within the budget of say a Battlestar Galactica (damn fine show btw) a Firefly season 2 (and more) could fly. Keep in mind that Sci-Fi HEAVILY PROMOTED BSG, something that Fox never did. Heck, Fox never even understood the show. Everytime I watch BSG and it's promotions, I can't help but wonder why Firefly can't excel within that business model. Also keep in mind that these series make a lot of their gross from DVD sales, and while I own everything Firefly, BSG doesn't have replay appeal to me.

Cheers.

I couldn't agree more with the last part of you post. I have tried to watch a rerun of BSG myself and just thought to myself whats the point as I reached about 20 mins in. Now FF I have watched many times due to the fact that there are things happening all over the place in the back ground. I don't no how many times I watched the round the table having lunch scene before I noticed River taking Jaynes Bread roll as he passed on the bowl.

It's the little things that make this show so wonderful.

fingers in ears... lalalalalalala I can't HEAR YOU!!! (cracking line that in the post earlier in the thread)

nooooooo
the brown coats can not go down without a fight, firefly is the best damn show i have seen in a long time. i was a huge star gate fan and firefly tops it.... josh you have to do something to bring it back, you have way to many fans who want to see mal ride again, i was actually hopeing we would find out that the alliance was able to bring wash back and that he really wasnt dead, i just think that mal and jayne and zoe have so many untold stories left in them, serenity just cant go down like this, it just cant
