New Sequel Rumor?

So the purveyor of my local comic book shop informs me that, "Universal has announced a sequel to Serenity." Now, of course, I've heard this sort of thing before. When pressed, he said he'd seen the news on the ticker running during Attack of the Show.
Anybody else see that? 'Cause he's the only one I've heard say so, and I'm apt to think that someone's jumped the gun...

It sounds like they may have run a quick scrawl about Alan Tudyk's comments. Depending on how they presented/misrepresented it, your acquaintance might have simply taken it as additional info.
Otherwise, I expect we'd be seein' a LOT more about it.
Still waitin' for Joss to pop up, almost two days later, to debunk the original report:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=30859
'Cause, if he doesn't, it looks more and more likely that Alan copped to something genuine.
Joss wouldn't leave us Browncoats twistin' in the wind over a false rumor. He knows how important this is to all of us.
Hold the line!

Universal has done a good job on their HD website re publicising Firefly see http://www.universalhd.com/Firefly/ for a neat 30 sec promo of our favourite show. Don't forget to say hello on the Firefly threads.
This timeline tells me somethings afoot:
28 July: Firefly is re run on Universal HD.
21 August: Universal releases the Collectors Edition.
30 September: Rumoured that contracts for a sequel expire.
4 October: Alan mentions Serenity sequel
27/28 October: Nathan, Summer, Morena, Alan & Sean will be at the Supernatural Convention's - salute to Firely/Serenity. Wonder where Joss will be ?
Not saying that this is proof but it does have a certain feel to it. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck & quacks like a duck.....
We're still flying.

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

Give that Browncoat a plastic rocket!
Nice to know somebody else is seein' the same signs.
Ifox on SciFi.com also observed that, had Universal simply wanted to milk a Collector's Edition of Serenity, they would have released it later in the year, for the holiday season. The August release date would appear to be perfectly timed to coincide with whatever decision Universal had to make about their movie option, scheduled to lapse at the end of September.
Add to the timeline:
3 August: Joss states about the BDCE in an interview at Comic Con 2007 that:
"Hope for it (Serenity 2) probably rests with this DVD."
http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/news.php?id=6846
And, when the BDCE started to sell /out of stock/ in a variety of retail venues, it became clear that demand had exceeded supply, and, the original sales projections. Joss, who is usually quite vocal in thanking us Browncoats for our support of this kind of release has been remarkably quiet.
Why might that be? 'Cause, if he were to publically acknowledge that the BDCE had sold very well, he would expose himself to questions about how it affected the possibility of a sequel. Why would he not want to answer that sort of question?
'Cause he wouldn't want to rock the boat for whatever's goin' on with Universal. He wouldn't want to be rushed into making a statement before it was "solid."
Oh, yeah, the signs are there, all right.
Hold the line!

As of now, still no word from Joss, debunking this.
I'm all smiles!

Please stop getting my hopes up!]
This sounds too plausible.

This sort of situation? This is the reason they invented the phrase, "guardedly optimistic."

If something is afoot, I think that Joss will be giving Alan that special wedgie he won't soon forget for letting the cat out of the bag. Or, perhaps, for starting the rumor. If we're really lucky, he'll be getting TWO!
I can see it now, Joss gets a new number just for Alan to call: 1-800-4-WEDGIE
Time to reprogram that speed dial number, Alan!
