I try to be a realist. If something is likely, I prepare myself for it's arrival (like my niece - we knew she was coming, so we bought stuff). If something isn't likely, then I like to just let it go and focus on what's in front of me.

That being said, aside of this longing for more Firefly/Serenity (and not really caring what exaclty, as long as it's something)... I also feel rather annoyed at holding my breath and realizing I'm actually turning blue.

How long is "too long" before just saying "wow, that was an awesome ride!" and letting it be just that?

Sure, I might get flamed for suggesting such an idea... and flamed for not doing much research by way of what Joss is saying or hinting at. But part of me really wonders - did Joss fulfill his need to get the story told in Serenity, or is there more in him as far as this 'verse is concerned?

Anyone with any clue, could you please hit me over the head (gently)? Because while I don't mind holding my breath on something I'm relatively certain is around the corner, I also don't care for depriving myself of oxygen for no reason.

Thanks!

Joss's Whedonesque post earlier (I think it's posted further down the board here) said, his phone wasn't ringing. That to me, says that if Universal calls and says, "We want Serenity 2" then Joss is onboard.
We know there's a semi- plan for another script and that he's told both Alan and Ron that there is a place for them in another film (which would tell me that we'd be going backwards, perhaps, not forwards?)

I think where we are is numbers. We need Universal to say, "Hmmm... those Serenity fans are really becoming a force. I wonder how we can tap into that?"

Realistically, Firefly should never have become a cult classic; it never should have come to DVD where the fanbase grew and grew and grew; Universal should never have stood up and said, "A movie based on a cancelled tv show? What a great IDEA!"; "Serenity" should never have been made, let alone gotten a wide theatrical release.

Realistically, I don't think any of us who are in love with a Space Western where the good guys are really just 'okay', and there's no science getting in the way of the fiction part of the science fiction, can ever give up on the idea of Serenity 2.
It just wouldn't be realistic.

Hope that was helpful.
mostly 'cause i think i just confused myself...

Dont know if there is a "too long" here, atleast not in my view. I aim to keep chasing that dream no matter how distant it might seem. Aint got no interest in flaming you though, will leave that to others more inclined to such. In my honest opinion such behavior mostly leads to more flaming anyway and eventually a conflict of some sorts. Anyway, trailing of my point here. Joss has said that he would like to do more inte the Firefly Verse, what that means, wel, who knows. I know its enough for me to put my faith in him atleast, he will come through for us eventually, as long as we dont give up on him.

You can’t stop the Signal.
Keep spreading the word about Firefly!

Which makes sense. I was just at Universal and Fox official sites and Christ almighty they make it hard for a fan to voice an opinion. So I guess what I'm asking is who and how do we contact those with the power to say "yes"? I'm a relatively new fan... but that's not to say I'm not willing to put my hard earned money down if that's what it take to convince them that a BDM2 woudln't be a bad idea.

Thanks again

Well some people just like the ride too much to let it go. Besides, it wasn't an awesome ride! That's the point! The ride started awesome but then along the way it... well it stopped! Wasn't even a ride it was just a warm up!

"The people who made the show and the people who saw the show—which is roughly the same number of people—fell in love with it a little bit too much to let it go, too much to lay down arms when the battle looked pretty much lost. In Hollywood, people like that are called unrealistic, quixotic, obsessive. In my world, they’re called Browncoats." - Joss Whedon.

HOPE, Amber. Hope. I don't think anyone is gonna let go of this show.

I have no doubt that if Joss got the chance to make Serenity 2 he'd go for it. Ofcourse getting that chance is where it gets tricky.

One day.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.

On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave!

Well, it's money. If there is to be a Sequel, the powers that be need to know it is going to make money.

But if they can make a new BSG series and a new Star Trek movie, I don't see why a Serenity Sequel can't be made.

I guess Joss didn't fulfill his need because there is going to be more in the 'verse from him.

Otherwise, there would not be new Serenity comic books coming out from Dark Horse.

Dark Horse comics realizes there is money to be made in the 'verse. Have you ordered your Dark Horse Serenity ornament or Serenity lighter yet? TitanBooks is coming out with two and maybe more Firefly Official Companion books. Hot Topic just came out with a new Jayne Lets Be Bad Guys t-shirt.

Universal has to make a decision on whether or not there is going to be a sequel. Joss and the actors are all signed up for two more. They have all said they want to do it. And remember Universal owns the Sci Fi Channel.

If Universal says No, Joss can go shopping around for a new home.

At the slither premiere he was asked if he had more stories to tell in the firefly universe and he said " hundreds, the question is will I be telling them on film or at home alone" that is roughly what he said so yes there is much more in him. I am sure someone here can provide a link if you want to hear that interview.

SameErtia, you said:
"We know...that he's told both Alan and Ron that there is a place for them in another film"

Where the deuce did you learn this? Ditto the script?

BTW, many months back I predicted there would be a Serenity sequel announced by 1 July 2006. That was pure speculation, based on what we all knew back then. I hold by that prediction..

In several interviews recently Joss has said he wants to tell more stories.. I've seen the Slither premiere video... so I believe he wants to do more and every interview I've seen with the actors.. they want to do more... so it's just a matter of time. And money, and their being enough of us out here to make them believe that a sequel is worthwhile.

As for waiting...I plan to be here til I die. I ain't going nowhere. I'm a very patient person, a return of the 'verse is worth going thru Serenity Valley for, IMHO. I don't think I'm gonna have to do that.. I BELIEVE that a sequel is comin'.

An announcement by July 06... sounds good to me!

So ECAmber hold the line with us.. it'll be worth it.

Oh and Anonymous1.. I ordered my magazine! YAY! Thank you!
