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."

  1. Here Is To a BSG Movie by moore.dustin · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Firefly is over so I can only hope Battlestar Gallactica gets the steam it needs to have a feature film. It could be very well received given the way BSG is grabbing non-SciFi people.

  2. Sequel would have been sweet... by TimeForGuinness · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I didn't follow Firefly, and I saw Serenity about 4 months ago. (Please don't revoke my geek card)

    I must say, it was one of my favorite SciFi flicks to date. It totally surprised me, decent story, decent graphics. I recommended it to a lot of my friends. I described it loosely as if they made a movie about Han Solo. (rugged, funny thief...they almost dressed the same)

    I was looking forward to another movie. I like the SciFiWestern combo that he pulled off.

    Maybe I will just have to start watching Firefly.

    Cheers,
    TFG

  3. No More Mrs. Reynolds.... by DESADE · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I was seriously hoping for some kind of resurrection of the character played by Christina Hendricks in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" and "Trash." I'm sure some of you remember the salaciously hot redhead.

    It's a shame when shows like Firefly get axed when so much crap survives. But, I hate to admit it, I missed Firefly on TV and only got hip to it on DVD. What a shame.

    I think it's a tribute to Joss that he got the movie made at all. And anyone who saw the film knew it was the end.

  4. Re:Would been quite hard away by Kenshin · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I always wanted to know more about Shepherd Book. People were always saying "He's not a Shepherd", but no one ever said what he actually WAS.
