Any Prospect of Serenity Sequel Quashed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-told-you-they-could-take-the-sky-from-me dept.

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."

    That's really too bad. All of my favorite shows keep getting crushed and destroyed. Wonderfalls, Firefly, The Super Mario Brothers Super Show. *sigh*

    A new serenity movie would not be news. But if you call this "Not even not news" the double negative makes it sound like news.

    There's entire fucking ELIGONS based on more solid facts than what you're spouting.

    "Joss was putting to rest the rumor that he was working on Serenity 2, not saying that there will never be a Serenity 2."

    That's right, keep on hoping, you fucktard. Keep on making excuses.

    Even if that fat fucker said "There will NEVER be a Serenity 2", you'll take it to mean he's already going to start working on "Serenity 3".

    "Little House on the Prairie - IN SPACE" failed. Get over it.

      I liked Firefly & Serenity a lot, but that was awesome!

      Thanks.

      Refresh my memory. Was Laura Ingalls or Nellie Olsen the hooker?

    > I think this is more there are no plans for a sequel. That doesn't mean he can't come back to it five years from now, if he needs to. Nobody would permanently trash an opportunity that big.

    The Serenity sequel is like a leaf on the wind. Leaf on the wi***CRUNCH***
