My (alleged) money would be on Summer. The role of River is a very demanding one, as it calls for someone to be waifish but with the occasional gimpse of a titanium lining, by turns loony and etherial, yet conveying an unmistakable sense of genius unhinged. It is a part which she nails as very few (any?) others could. And, yes, she is very young and very pretty. I'm guessing that young Ms. Glau will be getting a good deal of attention after the BDM hits the screens; critics and casting directors would have to be on Haldol to miss her potential as an actress.

My next guess would be Nathan. He's affable, strong, attractive, has excellent comedic timing, yet fine dramatic chops as well.

That said, I'd also keep a close eye on Morena's career after this...though she might have to have some work done. A bit homely, that one..

Interesting you should say that, given that those three, of all the cast, have the most experience with successful tv or movie productions.

You are correct, but none in lead roles as far as I know.

Duuuude! This is a great question, I love this board.

The correct answer: ALL OF THEM.

They've all got the acting chops, Joss has proven during his many years on television that he has an eye for that sort of thing.

If there's any kind of formula for this category, then the actors with a shot at it are actually the ones who die in the movie. Not that this will happen, but... okay I have no basis for this theory. I was thinking of Kevin Bacon in "Friday the 13th" and just got carried away.

Anyway, all of them. Big damn heroes, sir.

Alan & Summer.

Summer already is something of a whiz, being an accomplished ballerina, flamenco dancer, and successful actress now in two roles, one exceptionally difficult.

Best wishes to her.

Ohhh, good question! For some reason, I'm thinking that Alan will have greatest commercial success in the movies, not to take away from all the other great actors and actresses!

Alan will certainly have the greatest success in film. I mean, he's already the most recognizable actor in the crew, and let's be honest, the success of I, Robot could help make or break Serenity. Which is the main reason I'm going to go see it this weekend. Alan has been in some good productions, alongside up and coming actors that have gone on to superstardom (most notably Heath Ledger and Paul Bettany). And just recently, he was in Dodgeball, proving that he must have an "in" into that elusive group of Stillers, Vaughns, and Wilsons, that will undoubtedly help him land bigger roles in the future. After Alan, I think Gina has a chance, simply because of who her husband is. Past that, I'd say Nathan, as he's got what looks to be a very intelligent arthouse film about the nature of homosexuality in a very masculine family. I could honestly see him starring in a few Irish films as well. As a matter of fact, the aforementioned film is about an Irish family.

Super Stardom? What like Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Jack Nicholson, Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford and the like? That is a tough guess as they are all very talented and charismatic actors. With Joss as a catalyst and if the Movie Serenity is a Mega success with a a follow on to a trio of movies
they could all have super stardom for several years with some having exceptional success for a lifetime. Please Please Please make it all happen and Shiny. :-)

Obviously, I think every single one of our BDH are amazing, so it was really hard to choose! But I'd have to say that I think either Adam Baldwin or Nathan Fillion have a really good chance. just based on the charisma they have as actors and well, to be blunt, they're both freakin' hot!! lol Alan has a good shot too, because he's very funny which is key in the movie industry. I think Jewel has a good shot too because people can identify with her very quickly. Aww, I think all of our BDH could! But I'll stick with those picks if I have to. lol
