Oh god. I hope this turns out to be true. Don't wanna get my hopes up and then come crashing down. I'm gonna wait for something official and then do the snoopy dance. ::cross fingers and toes:: Here's hoping!
* Goes off to mark the calendar on Dec 20th for the Serenity DVD.*

People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

I'll take that money. River may be psychic, but she's not a superhero. It's not like she can make Mal think a thing he wouldn't otherwise. And Mal is famously stubborn. In all likelihood, the negotiating would begin, but River would jump to the end, to Mal's final offer.

Not to mention, it's Mal's choice to hire her at all. If he wanted, he could degrade her back to passenger and hire another pilot for cheaper money. Simon's been paying for her so far, if she gets uppity, he'll just have to keep doing that. *g*

Me too, FallenAngel, I'm not holding my breath, but I'll sure be shouting and dancing if this proves true...
Waiting.. and waiting.... trying to be patient... trying so hard...
hurry Dec. 20th, hurry!
Mal: "Hey, little one. Understand your part in all this?"
River: "Do you?"

I heard somewhere ( I think it was the podcast, The Signal) that Universal optioned for a trilogy when they bought the rights, and that Joss structured the movie in a such a way as to accomodate a continual storyline for the sequels. Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but if a sequel (DVD) for Starship Troopers and other less successful Sci-Fi films can be made, then there will surely be more Serenity in the future.

Ha! I agree Causal...
RIVER to MAL-I need money.
MAL-You do? Your brother's making enough for the both of you.
RIVER-I'll take it.
MAL-Huh?
RIVER-You're going to give me (unspecified sum).
MAL-I am?
RIVER-Yes.
RIVER walks off.
MAL-Well, I reckon I am.

River would confound Mal with her superior reasoning and linguistic skills but that doesn't mean she'll want a high salary, it’s not like she needs the money. Although there’s always the chance that River will develop a crush on Mal, if she isn't already infatuated with him, and decide to pilot the ship for free.

I think we'll have to wait for the DVD sales figures, though I think that it'll make a good profit. It'd make sense for universal to make a sequel if DVD sales are high, as long as it stuck to the same budget as Serenity.
The cast signed up for a trilogy and Whedon himself has said that he has what happens in the sequels planned, but only in his head. :)

Let's play it safe and call this all rumor & speculation at this point. Without something official from Joss or 'Versal I would not want to get my hopes up.
Don't get me wrong, I would be willing to bet there is not a browncoat out there that wants a Big Damn Sequel as much as I do, but no sense in getting ahead of ourselves.
'Versal is obviously going to want to see what the final figures for Serenity look like, both in box office sales & DVD sales. If they like what they see than we can start dancing.
If we want to help insure a sequel, we all need to keep pushing the series DVD set, get people watching it on Sci Fi, and buy the DVD set on 12/20. I am thinking Serenity on DVD is going to make an excellent Christmas gift for a ton of people on my list. We can use it to convert people too.
Get ready for round two browncoats, 'cause this fight ain't over yet.

Quote:I always thought it possible that Universal would green-light a sequel, without Serenity making $80 mill. I'm not even sure how many films out there are making that kind of money anyway, even ones with big names.

The podcast is delivering a very hopeful message! Now, none of this is official (it came from an apparent conversation between Jeremy Niesh of Fireflymovie.com and a producer at Universal), but what they're saying is that Universal may have been eyeing a Serenity sequel from the very beginning, and that there was no REAL monetary goal for the first movie that would make or break the possibility of a second one.
Its possible that they threw that high number around to really get us to push it hard. Its also possible that they're not saying anything cos they dont want us to slack when yhe dvd's come out.
