Yes, 1 movie would be great - but I "want my trilogy" !

Name the next movie "Serenity Lost" so that it has to be followed up with "Serenity Found" (tip of the hat to Jane E's latest book of essays by the same name). Within those 2 titles I think Joss could create a heck of a story that could fill in most if not all of the remaining back-story mysteries.

Just a suggestion, anyone have other possible title(s) ?

There's part of me that doesn't want Serenity in the title at all (a la Star Wars) but something new and unique.

I suppose there are intellectual rights issues involved with simply calling it Firefly?

I do understand your view - but then, there is such a thing as building "Brand" awareness/loyalty. As long as the name Serenity is not used in some cheap knock-off of some other movie sequel, I think it would be okay. With all the play on HBO/Cinemax, etc that the first Serenity movie has received, it would help with recognition. And based on the past example of marketing for the first Serenity movie, the next ones will need all the help they can get.

Serenity
Serenity Lost
Serenity Found

does borrow from "Paradise Lost". But that is a famous classic poem by Milton, rather than some cheap movie sequel, so I think the association could be a positive one. In fact, the movie sequence could be a loose parallel to the poem - which might provide a huge number of interesting possibilities for our BDH's.

I like Joss' idea:

Serenity 2: Fly Harder

just off the top of my head "Dark Serenity". Don't know why, just thought maybe it would bring in more BO (Box-office)

Here's some titles that might attract a bigger audience:

Serenity 2 : Journey To The Edge
Serenity 2 : Showdown In Space
Serenity 2 : Countdown To Infinity
Serenity 2 : Civilization On The Brink
Serenity 2 : Heroes Never Die

I don't know, something about "Serenity 2" makes me cringe. Could be the other bajillion sequels that have been made recently. What's wrong with "Serenity", then a kind of subtitle? Why do we need the 2, besides letting people know there was a 1?

Yeah, I agree....Serenity 2 is lame.

We need a mass audience for the next movie...so what's popular that people will want to go out and see? We need a minimum of 20 million people spending $ 7.00+ to break even.
So.....how 'bout...

Desperate Housewives In Space
Rosie O'Donnell Meets The Reavers...or alternate title....Leave It To Reaver
Who Wants To Be A Space Millionnaire?
American Idol Of The Universe
Hillary Conquers The Galaxy...aka Rise of the Rodhams
