DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE HAS SPOILERS FOR THE ORIGINAL MOVIE, SERENITY
Holy. Shit. Serenity 2? I already bought the first one twice on DVD, again after the special edition came out. Will firefly ever go back on the air? Unlikely, but if the dvds sell well enough, who knows?
Let us also take a moment to relish the irony that Alan Tudyk is the one to be talking about this.

Can it be? Surely, it can't be?
Rumors of Serenity 2 have been going on-and-off for a long time, and Lord knows the fans would jump at the idea to see their beloved characters back on the screen again. Any screen, even if it were on DVD. In an interview with Clint from Moviehole, cast member Alan Tudyk let loose that Universal is very interested in a sequel due to enormous DVD sales.
“They had to put [the Special Edition DVD] out because they’ve been selling out of the other one and so Universal’s like ‘So, let’s do another one’. And now… there’s now a chance there’s going to be another movie,” Tudyk said.
Seeing how Serenity was a big flop at the box office, it's unlikely that they're talking about a theatrical release. It started as a cult TV series that blew up on DVD after being prematurely cancelled, and despite the box office limp, the movie version sold well on DVD. So it would only make sense to do another one directly to DVD. Tudyk doesn't seem to mind, and agrees that it would still be worthwhile to do even if it doesn't fly on the big screen. It's not just the fans that are extremely fond of the show.
“[Nathan Fillion and I] were out a couple of weeks ago together at a party and there was a bunch of people there, and he was like ‘Oh, look we’re Browncoats.'"
Here's the thing: Alan Tudyk's character Wash died in the movie. If he's going to do it again, then it would probably be a prequel rather than a continuation of Serenity. Maybe a lost 90-minute episode of Firefly?
Whatever it may end up being, the Browncoats would still take it. Fox robbed them of a great series by yanking it off the air, but you can't take the sky from them.
“Everybody in the Firefly crew – and that includes the ones who died in the movie – are excited about the prospect of doing another," said Tudyk.

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Seriously though, not a day goes by that I don't want more Firefly. Not a goddamn day.
But maaaaaaaaaaan, that'd be great.
The Australian features were a few documentaries that weren't all that great. I guess they're only going to release that Collector's Edition in region 1, but man I would have bought it for that new commentary.
I think the commentary with the cast just sold me on it.
twice
I think this is good. I would kill to see a prequel of sorts - like back in the good old days when everyone was alive, you know. Like, 90 minutes of capers and jobs and stuff. Enough saving the galaxy - let's be bad guys.
Also, the bloopers. Mal saying "FInd the kids that took a dirt nap with jesus" worth 20 bucks.
Oh my
GLEE!
They're going to make me buy Serenity a total of four times.
I bought it once on DVD.
Then I bought it on HD-DVD.
Now the Special Edition DVD comes out, so I buy that.
And I just KNOW that in 2 months they're going to come out with the Special Edition HD-DVD and I'll have to buy that one too.
And I'll buy it with the biggest goddamn smile on my face.
thread over
Enlist in Star Citizen! Citizenship must be earned!
Assuming Fox could find a way to offer downloads without completely fucking it up. Do they have series for sale in iTunes?
I assume you mean Morena Baccarin, although she's Brazilian-Italian. And she wasn't in much else, mostly a few episodes of Stargate SG-1 and the O.C. plus some voice work on Justice League.
You never let us have any fun.
I have a bad feeling about a straight to DVD sequel...I can't help but think that they do something like
Either that or Carlos Mencia would join the cast.

ReaverWash?
but he'd probably appear only as flashback, ghost or hallucination.
Yes, she played Black Canary.
I do have to admit that the movie did loose some of that Firefly magic we all love. But Serenity 2 would be pure fan service, and I would watch it in a second.
Librarians harbor a terrible secret. Find it.
It wouldn't have surprised me if he'd died. There were enough possible replacement "main characters" to take his place. I also didn't know if Whedon was going to run the series out of chronological order, so he might have decided to kill Mal and then show later episodes coming chronologically earlier.
I have the dvd and hd-dvd, and have ALMOST bought the special edition dvd.... but I know they'll bring out antoher hd-dvd too.
BUT... if i have just the reg dvd, the reg hd-dvd, and the special edition hd-dvd, my reg dvd copy will be kinda lonely without a special edition one to sit next to him on the shelf.
Yup. If he's in, I'll watch it/buy it/love it. If it isn't, then it just isn't firefly.
"Watch out Alliance people - I'm going to say stuff you'll find offensive because I'm {chinese word for crazy}...Here I go, being {chinese word for crazy}...better be careful, or you'll get offended by my really offensive jokes about Miranda and getting raped to death by Reavers!"
To be fair, if Joss Whedon announced he was in charge of a My Little Pony movie with Paris Hilton as the main character (not the voice of the main character, the main character,) I'd probably still be there. That applies to anything he does that he doesn't personally disown like Alien 4.
She will be mine. Oh, yes, she will be mine.
