I like to check in at the IMDB from time to time and I just read where Alan tudyk said something about this being a 3 picture deal with Universal. Is this true or am I dreaming?

As a contract condition, all of the cast and Joss are committed to be avialable for up to three films. Universal doesn't have to make more than the one, but if Serenity does well they're prepped to do two more. Our job is to buy as many tickets as possible opening weekend to make sure this happens.

Right you are Malicious!

From what Adam and Jewel have both said at Cons the ticket sales have to be strong the first 2-3 weeks that the BDM is out in order to hit that magic number that 'Versal will consider their target. If the BDM is a success, we will get two more films.

I'm sure I won't mind seeing it 3 weeks in a row. :)

And after it comes out, I have to remember to talk about it excitedly everywhere I go. At work, while checking out groceries, while driving in rush hour traffic...

"You cut me off your son of a-- Hey, by the way, have you seen that movie Serenity that opened last weekend? Check it out!"

As big a fan as I am, I doubt even I'll be able to watch 21 straight viewings of Serenity. But, who can say for sure ?

If EVERY Firefly fan just bought 1 extra ticket each time they went to see the movie....

Planning to go first all by my lonesome on opening night (November 4th, 'cause I'm in Norway). If I recognize it as appropriate for my parents, I will bring them the same weekend, possibly getting my brothers along.
Then I'll go with my group(s) of friends, the few close ones, and then possibly the more rim-like friends.

I will be putting up the guerilla marketing posters in a few different places as well, during some weeks just before the release. Possibly during the night, guerrila-like.

I also really like the idea of picking up a
conversation like NYWOE said. Just talking loudly on the bus would do good, I believe.

The Browncoats are mighty, right? So I think there would be no problem in keeping the numbers of visitors flying and steady in the first 3+ weeks. I have faith in you US Browncoats.

Sincerly can't wait till the Big Damn Movie's released.

each time you see it something new appears that you did not see or hear before that is the magic!!!!!

So far, Jurassic Park and LOTR are 1 & 2 in my 'most times seen in a theatre' list. If Serenity matches either.... that will be something.

And welcome CaptainMo. Shiny! Always good news to hear of new recruits!

Well, doing this math in my head made me smile:

3 movies * 2.5 hours/movie (let's hope!)= 7.5 hours

7.5 hours / 45 minutes/episode = 10 episodes

So, three decent-length movies would be about the same amount of material as 10 new episodes.

Given that the series is only 14 episodes (+1 for the pilot being double length), we'd be looking at a movie franchise that rivals the amount of content it is based on.

Somehow, there's some kind of irony in that...

I'm really proud of myself. Having bought the DVD box set in December '04, but only watching the entirety of the series this January... I've finally realized the greatness of this show, and I've become a full-blown Browncoat. Hell, I'm even trying to make Mal's coat to wear around. ^^

Not only that, but I've made 8 people full-on Browncoats (even one who at first thought she would hate the show.) One of them has bought the DVD set, and 2 others are considering it. All of them and myself are going to the midnight premiere of the movie, and promoting it (even subconsciously) to everyone we can. I've got another 3-4 people interested in watching the show, and they'll most likely go with the lot of us in the subsequent weeks to see the movie again. Then, the week after, I'll probably go see it with my family.

I've never had this much interest in a fictional creation. I love the show, the cast and crew, and all the Browncoats out there!

WOO!! Browncoats unite. :D

Very impressive! I'm only responsible for 3 converts, though I'm still chiseling away at my brother. He reflexively hates anything by Joss Whedon - not that he's seen any of Joss' stuff, but just because it's been so hyped by all his friends. He has this weird hangup where he won't watch anything if people speak too highly of it. A tough case, but I'm thinking I can get him into a brown coat sooner or later.

Welcome to the Browncoat scene! You sound like a mighty and powerful ally. :)

Hi Gorramzero and welcome. You are one super shiny Browncoat to make that many converts in so little time. Keep up the great work.

Are you in the US? Will you be attending DragonCon in Atlanta over Labor Day weekend? Adam, Nathan and Morena will be attending. www.dragoncon.org.

Thanks. ^^

I am in the US, I live near Chicago, IL. I'm trying to get a group of 10 of my friends to go to DragonCon, as well as make costumes. We're working hard on it, and if we can raise enough money, we'll all be going in costume.

Since I've only recently become a Browncoat, I haven't yet gotten the chance to see any of the cast/crew at a con, so I'm really pumped!! I hope we can all go.
