Any Prospect of Serenity Sequel Quashed
Shadowruni writes "According to IGN.com, there will be no sequel to Serenity." Update: 10/07 01:31 GMT by Z : As enjerth pointed out below, this is not 100% accurate. Don't believe IGN, is the lesson. Here's the word from the man himself: "I turn my back for five minutes (that's how long it takes to admire my lovely back) and the interweb goes banoonoos! Isn't there any ACTUAL news to get wrong? Sorry about all this; it might be best if I just stay off the computer for a while ... The brain place is crowded with goods, ideas, sequels, spinoffs, animated versions, miniseries, radio dramas -- this is just the used goods. All the new wares are in there as well and it's deafening. Once I create a verse I never let go of it. And figuring out how much of my energy should be devoted to reawakening the projects you all love with the actors and characters I all love, and how much should be forging ahead and creating entirely new works (which you are contractually obligated to love) is exhausting."
Goddamn, that is great news. That was a PoS show, and the networks knew it for once. He is not the greatest writer in the world, come on. I am glad it is gone, i really am, and yes I watched the series and the movie, wanted to see what fan saw, I saw a premise that was weak, actors who were weaker. meh.
i do not suffer from Insanity... I revel in it.
As movies go, that one was pretty dire, it contributed little to the SciFI genre, it had an idiotic, unbelivable plot. Unless you think it is a good idea to dispatch your enemies with a samurai sword when you have weapons that can obliterate full planets and you don't care much about mass murder.
No wonder the movie lost money.
If anything it put me off looking at the series on DVD (in most places out of the US the movie came first than the series, the later may not have shown at all).
IANAL but write like a drunk one.
