Agreed entirely. Plus, I think _all_ of the cast would leap at the chance to make more movies, even if it was at the same price as their original contracts.

Now - if the option to produce Serenity movies was left to expire by Universal, that might be a bigger worry. I can see Fox upping the cost.....

Yeah, I'll admit I'm feeling nervous. But I'm also reminding myself that if Versal DOES take advantage of this contract, we likely won't hear about it for months.

there is a good one. attack em with snail mail. add in an email attack as while.
maybe one of the people around here that designs banners and such could design a "thank you" note with all that plus thanks for the se. postcard size, letter size. print and send. and send email too. firefly is up in the amazon rankings, and the se is out. alot of talk after dc. on a bit of a publicity high point. maybe time for a some mass fan mail.

forgot to add. someone said they were putting flyers IN mailboxes. don't do that, it is illegal.

I'm not nervous. It's dead. We aren't going to get anything else. We never got enough people to open their eyes and go see the BDM or watch the series. We just don't have enough people to make it worth studio's time and money.

That's about all there is to it. It's sad, but I think we should just trust that Joss will make something new that is great in it's own way.

Im not sure what actor said what, when... but i think there is some confusion here.

There is a difference between the actors contracts expiring and Universal losing the rights to make a seque! Actors contracts expiring wouldnt hinder a sequel much as everything can be rengotiated. Universal losing the rights to a sequel is a bigger deal, it basically means that anyone else could then bid on a serenity sequel as the rights revert back to fox and the creators.

So in short it depends which of the above scenarios we r talking :)

Buck up trooper. A lot of us have been out here in the trenches for a long time and faced a lot darker times than this. We hold, we spread the word and Joss will see to it the story is told.

Speaking as one of those above mentioned Browncoats, I agree completely with BC1. It's just like the good Preacher said... you have to have Belief!

Trust me... I know what I'm doing!

This is precisely why it IS a hindrance. The actors likely are locked into particular deals under that original option. Once expired, some of their agents will insist upon more money than those original deals. Given the tepid performance of Serenity at the box office, it's doubtful Universal would want to shell out more money for the actors' contracts.

I'm not that nervous about it. I'm sure Joss will continue the story in whatever format he can get his hands on.
