From RopeOfSilicon.com, an exclusive Comic Con interview with The Master:

It's a great interview, so read the whole damn thing!
Excerpt posted at NewsOfTheVerse.net:
So give me hope for a Serenity II
JW: Hope for it probably rests with this DVD. (re: The Big Damn Collector's Edition)
. . .
So then you're saying we've got a chance?
JW: Well it's probably not being discussed in boardrooms right now, but the fact of the matter is if it makes enough money sooner or later they say "hey, this is money!" Also there are paradigms that are much cheaper, it doesn't have to be enormous. But on the other hand I'm happy to say all of my actors are working very hard. It's not the same situation where we all threw in for pennies because we had to finish telling that story. Now that situation might be harder to bring about.

I have faith that we will get our big damn trilogy - it might take another 5 years... it might take 10... but we'll get it! Never say never - that's my motto... or would be if I had a motto...

This is much more positive than he's ever been. I mean the last thing was, "I'll do it if somebody comes calling."
And it's nice to see confirmation that BDM went into the black from theatrical release. That has been debated in these threads many a time. They are making a fortune from these DVDs.
I say let 'em and get us a BDSequel. Mine's on order from Amazon through the website to make money for the host.

I agree completely...we will have more movies!

There is always a cautious hope existing somewhere in sometime. I will keep believing because I choose to. Don't get me wrong, I love hearing it from the master's lips, but, if I lived and breathed a sequel on Joss' words, I would never get anything done.

I am so very, very happy to hear that Serenity made money! I felt particularly badly for Mary Parent (at Universal) when we all thought that Serenity had lost money in theatrical, because I thought, "Here's this Firefly fan, she wanted it so badly she made the movie happen, and now her bosses are probably mad at her and maybe she'll get fired..." Whew!
I never bought a DVD before Firefly, and I've ended up buying three of those (one as a gift for my brother, one for me, and one to use as a loaner copy -- it's always out there somewhere), one Serenity, and now I've pre-ordered the Special Edition. I can't wait to hear the new commentary :)

This is the most hopeful thing I've heard Joss say!
I also know more than ever that the key to any possibility of a BDSequel and not having to wait forever for it resides in how many of these BDCE we can buy.
So spread the word, Browncoats, spread it far and wide particularly to people who you know are BC's who are not online, because sales of this DVD need to be awesome!!
And write Universal and thank them for this!
Check this thread to follow a plan that's already in place to do some of this.

It's a long shot, but if Joss says it's feasible, it's doable!!

Friendly reality check here........How many of those who bought the Serenity DVD already are going to buy this new DVD? 10%...25%...50%...75%...?
Is it going to be "marketed" somehow other than FF websites? Who, other than 'coats are even going to know it's out there?

Just seeing that interview made my heart stop for a second. From Little seeds as they say. How many other movies have gone on to being produced after hearing even more ephemeral comments than that.
Got My BD-CE on order and am spreading the word.(side note, I already own the R2 Version with most of the extra material on anyway, but who gives a ****)
