The world has officially gone mad when Uwe Boll films get sequels.

He's already had a sequel it was House of the Dead 2 even though he's only directing Alone in the Dark 2 not Bloodrayne 2 and didn't direct House of the Dead 2.

Strange how a post about the Serenity SE ends up talking about Uwe Boll.And personally his films are yes bad but not as bad as everybody makes them out to be.

Our universe is cool but Joss's verse is cooler.

I was curious so I looked up the reported budget for Fantastic Four online & it is reported on several sites as being $100 million. I could not find anywhere whether that figure included marketing and PR. Box Office Mojo shows a total box office take of $154,696,080.00. Not sure what dvd rentals and sales raked in, but it seems it was more than enough for a sequel.

I think our problem here is the fact that Serenity was based on a canceled tv show which some of the public knew. Secondly was the fact that none of our cast are recognizable to the general public. That hurt us. F4 had Jessica Alba which drew the fanboys, Julian McMahon (from Nip/Tuck) for eye candy for the ladies added to the fact that all the Marvel comic fans will turn out for it. That adds up to butts in seats meaning dollars in the pockets of the studio. We just did not have that kind of draw.

Now I am hoping that the special edition dvd for Serenity will put enough money in Universal's pockets that they might greenlight a direct to dvd movie sequel. As much as I would like a big screen sequel I just don't see Universal doing it. They've made no moves and as Joss has said he is not getting any calls about it.

Don't get me wrong people, I'm still holding out hope and I'm not about to give up, but the odds aren't looking good. Odds don't concern me none, but I don't want people getting a lot of false hope based on the release of the SE dvd. No doubt this is more of a search for more money by Universal from a fanbase they know is hungry for anything they will send our way. I'll buy the SE dvd because it has content I haven't seen and I'll do my part to help push it. Just saying I'm not looking for Universal to ride to my rescue on a white horse blowing the cavalry charge.

Apart from the poor advertising for Serenity and that it had nobody well known starring in it I believe that it was cause Serenity came late in the year come on the record for highest amount in a weekend for a film in the month it came out is like 40 million dollars when compared to summer months whech have records like 80 million+.Not coming out in a popular month means film studios are not going to spend loads of money on advertising and I'M afraid advertising makes or brakes a film since it cause the buzz, excitement, the talk in the offices which make the film popular.

Thank's for sayin' Browncoat1. Because like you I'm not giving up, can't do that, never will... but I also want to warn folks about thinking that good sales of the SE DVD might make Uni think about giving us a sequel.

I think our hope right now rests in the possibility of a direct to DVD movie... and I think our chances of that at this point are slim. I don't want folks to feel hopeless about that... just be aware of it. We have to look at what's ahead realistically.

No, because the movie as released is the Director's Cut.

There is a really good discussion on this at the OB with Chris Buchanan. It started off talking about the recent ebay auctions then went into this same subject. I suggest everyone hear reading it because it may clear up a few things. Especially us newbies.

I find Chris being hopeful and informs us that there is no "formula" to get a sequal. He tells us it just takes "love & patience". (of course)

Thank you for that SpaceGirl32. I had caught the post by Mr. Buchanan and was thrilled he was doing such a great thing for his child's school!

I have to go over there and read what he has to say..he's such a nice man.
