yeah, I'ven been thinking for some time that we'd get green lit for a sequel within two years
(when 'Serenity' as actually gone into the black and Joss is free again)
but it could very well be in production by then,
if the DVD sales are even close to Firefly's sales
(and why wouldn't they be?)
it will only grow in popularity....

I'm thinking that by the time 'Serenity' appears on TV
Universal will be thinking that they need to get a sequel made

this fandom will only continue growing...

We might not have to wait that long. I've read on a couple of different threads that Tim M. will probably direct the sequel, He's evidently already say he wanted too, and Joss trusts him. So let hope for a very Serenity Christmas.

Because Serenity was not as good as Firefly. It didn't have the same charm, the sense of family, or the magical "something" that made the TV show so special. Everyone I've talked to who's recently been exposed to both has said the same thing. Heck, the TV box set is still the No. 10 best selling DVD on Amazon.com as I type this, and that's $40 a pop.

I don't doubt that the DVD of the movie will sell crazy-good, but I hope Universal gets the message that this is a tale that's best told in serial format on TV, and that the only reason that it didn't succeed as such the first time around was because of the Fox screwjob. I mean, just look at the current poll results on the main page here.
