No Serenity coming
Sorry, Browncoats. Joss Whedon confirmed the other day on Whedonesque.com that there are absolutely no plans for a sequel to SERENITY and there probably never will be. This shouldn't be too surprising since, although the first movie was liked, if not loved, by the majority of those who saw it, not too many people outside of its fanbase actually did see it. Then again, SERENITY was based on a television show screwed and unfairly cancelled by its network after less than a season so a return wouldn't have been a completely head-scratching turn of events. And apparently there has been recent rumors of a sequel. In response, Whedon exercised a bit of tough love: "There's no sequel, no secret project regarding Serenity or somesuch and I'm not even sure how anyone thought there was talk there" and even suggested that everyone "put that to bed and smother it with a pillow." You can check out the full blog entry HERE. SERENITY 2 hits theaters... oh right.

Extra Tidbit: Allegedly, Joss Whedon considers THE ROAD WARRIOR to be a perfect movie.

Angel = Good = 5 series
Firefly = excellent = 1/2 series
I don't know who I'm angry at, the general public for wanting to watch shows like Americas next top hobo and not the actual programmes that are different. or at fox for not havin the sense to advertise the programme properly, screen it at a suitable time or indeed tell the story as it was...

I don't know who I'm angry at, the general public for wanting to watch shows like Americas next top hobo and not the actual programmes that are different. or at fox for not havin the sense to advertise the programme properly, screen it at a suitable time or indeed tell the story as it was supposed to be told.
All I know is that I'm angry at someone and when I find out who it is....

Here's a thing: when "Firefly" was cancelled, my heart got broke. Sounds a bit much, but it changed me. Not even "Serenity" could patch that wound. I'm wearier, warier -- after all those years as a movie writer, you'd think I'd be prepared for another lesson on my unimportance in the scheme of things, but I wasn't. There are two very...
Here's a thing: when "Firefly" was cancelled, my heart got broke. Sounds a bit much, but it changed me. Not even "Serenity" could patch that wound. I'm wearier, warier -- after all those years as a movie writer, you'd think I'd be prepared for another lesson on my unimportance in the scheme of things, but I wasn't. There are two very separate worlds: the marketplace, and the bustling bazaar that is my brain. 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.

As a huge fan of both, I'm more than relieved to hear this.

Man, this sucks. Is it really so much to ask that "Serenity 2" gets greenlit? I guess so.

Ah, well...
But "The Road Warrior" Joss? C'mon, man...if you're gonna go for a Road movie, why not "Duel"?

I was floored when SERENITY came out. WHEDON must be a damn good salesman. Let's hope he doesn't get an idea for BUFFY.

Oh well, space operas are, sadly, a thing of the past.
