Browncoats, and friends/family the Browncoats dragged to the theater to see Serenity loved it. The 'normal' movie going crowd stayed far away, and that is a cryin shame. This could have been the film to get the wheels turning again, unfortunately this isn't the case. Sure, the dvd sales will most likely make the money back for the studio so it isn't a failure, but I honestly think Joss is done with Serenity. His next 2 films Wonder Woman, and Goners will take up the next 4 or 5 years of his life, and if Wonder Woman does well(which I'm sure it will) he will probably sign on for the sequel.
That's a long time away from the Buffyverse, and Serenity. The Spike tv movie deal pretty much summed up how he feels about the state of Buffy. He still cares about the characters, but doesn't have the time to re-visit them. As far as Serenity is concerned it would take a handful of miracles to get that going again.
I loved Buffy, and Firefly, and if Joss ever returns to tv, you can bet I will watch whatever he has to offer. Heck, I'll watch it twice.

So, he'll give the Serenity sequel to Tim, he's already said he wants to do it.
Let's not be negative, now...

Chrisisall ready to see the mighty do the impossible again

I think that that is totally wrong....

Joss has said in recent interviews that he has already started writing the sequels in his head...
and once they are there, you KNOW they gotta come out!

Wonder Woman & Goners will take up the next 2-3 yrs
but by then he'll be ready to go into production on the Serenity sequel

And I think Tim Minear will have some help (w/jokes in the dialoge) from Joss when a Buffyverse script gets written....

Joss Whedon has refused to let the novelizations touch most of the future of his creations because he DOES plan to revisit them.
Remember that he is a young man, only 41, I think we can expect another 30 years of revisits to the worlds he has created.
I hope I'm around to get to enjoy them all!

Sorry everyone. Didn't mean to be a wet blanket. I'm not usually this negative, but when I heard he passed on the Spike movie, and has 2 feature films in the pipe I started with the negative thoughts. On a lighter note I got the Serenity cards and binder w/ almost a full set of the autograph cards, and that makes me three types of happy.

"He killed me with a sword Mal, how weird is that?"

Your right. I hope we can all enjoy more Buffy/Serenity from Joss. I apologize for this thread

I wasn't so much bummed out as puzzled. Joss is on record in a MILLION places as saying that he is totally and completely in love with "Serenity", that his heart was absolutely broken when "Firefly" got cancelled, that he has second seasons and third seasons and sequels and sequels to sequels already in his head, and that getting to do them would be a dream come true. he wants it so much (he said in one place) that it hurts to even hope for it. He goes on these websites asking questions like, "So does Jubal Early die at the end of 'Objects in Space', or does a passing ship rescue him? What about Mal and Inara? I have my own ideas..." The whole thing is still clearly filling his head, to the extent that he can afford emotionally and professionally to dwell on it. He has talked about his rage at the cancellation, and his hopes for it to continue (preferably, to his mind, in TV form). He spent two years of his life shopping the series, after cancellation, to anyone who would glance his direction, and a lot who wouldn't. He has expressed undying gratitude to the Browncoats for getting the film made, and it wasn't a sign-off kind of gratitude: it was a "here's hoping" kind. There is simply zero evidence for anything besides utter commitment and love on Joss's part.

And, as to his other commitments, a guy who can write a 160-page initial script for the movie (the equivalent of a whole second season), and write a new "pilot" virtually overnight, as he did when Fox rejected the 'Serenity' episode for Firefly and asked for something with more action (which turned out to be "The Train Job"), can almost certainly start on a sequel, or take a leading role in the revived series, as the case may be, while also doing something else, especially when continuing Firefly in some form is clearly his heart's deepest desire. Aaron Sorkin wrote and helped to produce both "Sports Night" and "West Wing" for a year, and he wrote pretty much every episode of both.

So: not feeling rained on, here, just like a few people suddenly got out their umbrellas under a clear blue sky.
