Well, all I know is that I'm going to go crazy with printing out flyers and posting them up for Firefly and Serenity and sticking them in mailboxes and whatnot (that's legal, right?) and get people interested who haven't even heard of this wonderful 'verse.

As for the actors... even if/when they get more expensive, I'd be very surprised if any of them said, "No, I don't feel like doing a sequel unless you pay me an exorbitant sum." They have all stated that they would love to be involved - in a second, without a shadow of a doubt. They love this 'verse just as much as we do - even more.

So I'm just going to KEEP BUYING. ::grins::

Fingers and toes crossed for the sequel but im still a little un-sure whether or not i actually want one. We've all come to know and love these characters from watching the series and the first movie. And even losing one was a huge thing. I dont know about anybody else but at the end of the movie right after Mal had his final conversation with the operative and was talking with Zoe, that ship suddenly had a big feeling of emptiness about it with Wash missing. Him missing from the sequel would be HUGE. As well as that i wouldnt want to risk the sequel being bad. Right now the whole thing is still amazing and magical to us all because of the way we were left. If the sequel is made and then proceeds to bomb its may ruin a lot of peoples' love for Firefly. Leave everyone with sour feelings about everything because it was the last new addition that people saw. But on a more optimistic note ive got the perfect solution for assuring the sequel. Sense the sequel is primarily counting on the sales of the CE DvD's everybody go out and buy 500 copys at full price and we'll have our sequel in no time. :D

In regards to the problem of the crew casualties inflicted in Serenity, there is an answer.

The following is a quote from Joss Whedon, himself. I found it in Serenity: The Official Visual Companion, page 36, column two, first two paragraphs: "By the way, there's a strong possibility that everybody would return for a sequel. How is that possible? Not my usual way- there are no amulets to be had for love or money. But there's every chance you could see these characters again."

See, also, the picture caption at the top left corner of the same page, which reads,
"Below: Alan Tudyk as Wash, a character who, according to Whedon, could return in a sequel."

I trust Joss to do it in an original, clever, acceptably non-cheesy way.

Can't stop the signal!

You got that figure way too high.

For example if all of Nathan Fillion friends bought 500 DVDs...

36085 x 500 = 18,042,500 DVDs. Don't need that many DVDs bought. $20 each DVD that is like 360 million. Don't need that much.

How about a 52? 36085 x 52 = 1,876,420 DVD.

Hey, if all Nathan's friends just cough up $1,109, got $40 million right there.

Also Joss has said in any sequel, all nine crew will be back. Didn't say how. People think flashbacks. I think River can see/hear ghosts.

Also Joss said what comes next doesn't have to be as big as Serenity. And there are plenty of stories in the 'verse. Before Firefly. After Firefly and before Serenity. And after Serenity.

There is money to be made in the 'verse. Universal or somebody else is gonna realize that someday. Sooner or later.

Remember Desperate Housewives Sunday.
Chuck on Monday.

Anybody have an idea when Summer's show is going start. Jewel's is starting on September 28.

Feeling hopeful myself for a sequel in some shape. Remember there are new comics coming out later this fall too, if I remember correctly.

So everyone, buy multiple copies of the CE, buy all the shiny stuff that's out there (just got my PVC Mal, Jayne and River. They are guarding my wireless modem right now along with Steggy and Rex) and keep your finger, toes, feet and everything else crossed.

Oh, and also watch and email or write Desperate Housewives, Chuck, Stargate Atlantis and The Sarah Conner Chronicles. Tell them that Nathan, Adam, Jewel and Summer are the reason that you are watching.

Nope. Contracts expiring just means that when the sequel does get made there will need to be new contracts. That's maybe a few hours time on behalf of legal and some phone calls to agents sprinkled with insincere expressions of affection. No worries.

Well.. I would like to believe that it was that simple.. but if it was.. why would there ever be contracts like this in the first place?

I'm not saying you couldn't make new contracts.. but then it's up to each actor's willingness and ability to agree to it. I have to believe that they all would be willing.. but that doesn't mean they would have the ability to. And how hard is Universal willing to try, at that point, on a movie that is already shown that it won't be a blockbuster? No matter how incredible it would be. Sure.. we all know it will make them a small fortune in the long run.. but studios don't seem to care about that.

Smaug.. still nervous..

I find myself agreeing with SMAUG on this one. I figure contracts to sequels are signed by the actors to lock in their money just in case the movie becomes a smash hit. In the past it has happened often enough that the star of a Hollywood hit will like to price themselves above the bar of what a studio is willing to pay. Whether this is true with contracts for the BDM or not, or an expiration date was set could be just plain here say. Is anyone for sure?

I have a belief that someone has their eyes on the prize. If Universal is just leaching what they can get I do think that there’s someone that has an interest in this product. An interest also in seeing it make more money. Hopefully that will be in film form with the same actors playing the same roles. The verse of fans grows bigger every day. I never get tired of the newbies coming onboard. They bring renewed sparks with their excitement and vigor. I’d like to say that getting any good new would be like getting a dose of Serenuty-Viagra. But we need to remember that no news does not mean no more FF of any kind. We Hold!

Smaug, ain't nothin' to be concerned about. If the contracts expire before Universal decides to do a sequel, whose to say they can renegotiate new ones? A contract expiring doesn't mean we are doomed to no more Firefly / Serenity.

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.

Nervous ? Hell no.

Anticipation ? You betcha.

Cantstoptheserenity was a huge success. How many other box office flops have pulled in more than $110,000 for charity ?

DragonCon - well done to all who participated. reference the DragonCon dates and the Amazon ranking for Firefly - it soared to #3. The Browncoats in that parade recruited dozens of new fans without ever meeting them.

We have shown time & again that we are a viable and active franchise. Our numbers grow every day, we will be heard.

The keys are:
Have patience
Spread the word
Support Browncoat activites
Be nice to people, not everyone see's Firefly the way you do

If you feel a need to do something, send a postcard to Fox / Universal thanking them for Firefly / Serenity and asking when Season 2 / sequel is coming out.

I want my trilogy, and Season 2, and a plastic rocket...
