As far as a trilogy i will say--yes it will happen,but only if the movie does excellent.Usually a hit is when a film makes double the budget so 40 mil budget,10 mil advertising= 50 mil,so it has to make 100 mil or close to it(start saving yer pennies)now i know the dvd is gonna kick ass in sales,so if the film only makes 90 mil i believe withthe dvd sales = trilogy.Hopefully when universal goes for the follow up joss will pull a "peter jackson" and say it would be cheaper to just make both at once.As far as the title im mixed but overall i do like it besides thats the job of the trailer announcer"blah blah blah,reavers,blah blah blah,they fight to survive.............on a ship known as--(wait for it-cue title card)SERENITY.i cant stress this enough those first 2-3 weeks are sooooooooooooooo important it has to make big #'s the first weekend say 50-60 mil, the next weekend always drops anywhere between 30-60% so 2nd week take would be 20-30 mil,then the third weekend is maybe 10,after that is star wars,HOWEVER i do think if people dont want to get in the crazy mess of sw serenity is the alternative,plus one BC mention somewhere else that hopefully critics who dont like star wars will say something like"....skip this and see a great sci-fi film SERENITY."heres hoping.anyhoo,the next few years will be shiny for us fans with the film(& hopefully 2 followups)and the comic! so the adventures will continue in some form or another. "huh."

Yes, at Dragon Con it was said that everyone was signed up for 3 films and everyone wants to do them. Adam said several times that the possiblity of 2 more greatly depends on the first 2 weekends of Box Office Receipts. so see it early and often.
As for Joss doing X3, this could only serve to build up the studios confidence in him when it and serenity are sucessful, and that lends itself to a boost in the budgets for Serenity 2& 3, which I see as a good thing for everyone.
Jewel stated that the studio was very happy with the way filming went and happy with the project in general. Several days of filming were apparently wrapped early, studios like that kinda thing. The only thing that could stop 2 & 3 is a bad first two weeks at the theatre. And I don't think we'll let that happen.

In 'Serenity' everyone dies except for Mal.
Yes it's true. I saw it in a dream I had the other night.
