This was added to Empire Magazine's website:-

Nathan Fillion and Katee Sackhoff will bring the noise.

The pair has signed up to star in White Noise 2: The Light. The film follows on from the 2005 sleeper hit, and will see the lead character (played in the first film by Michael Keaton) realising that he’s changed and can now identify those about to die. But his powers come with some terrible ramifications. Matt Verne has written the script for Patrick Lussier to direct.

Fillion is better known as Captain Mal Reynolds in Firefly and Serenity, while Sackhoff stars as Kara “Starbuck” Thrace in the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica.

Even if it's not Serenity 2, I think I'll still buy a ticket to see those two in that movie together.

Of course I'm delighted that he's working on
another movie, I will definitely go see it.
But, when is he going to have time to be the
Captain again? Wasn't he like, born to do that?
Me = born audience, NF = born Captain.
Something not right if both don't happen.
I musta got stuck in the wrong parallel universe.

Any movie with our beloved Captain in it is a movie that I'm gonna support. He's a great actor... probably the most underrated actor in hollywood. His usual charm, wit, and brilliance will make any movie more than just worth seeing.
Go CAP!!!!!

That’s the reason Serenity didn’t do so well in theaters – no big name stars. Nathon has the right idea, put some pictures under his belt, let his name become more recognized. If the other members of the crew would do the same and not waste there time with “Soccer Moms,” and crap like that Serenity 2 could, and would be a huge success.

Happy! Happy! Good to hear Nathan's getting more work. But wait, he's playing Michael Keaton's character? Didn't he die at the end of the first movie?

If things were only that easy in Hollywood where up-and-comers could just land big movies and not "waste their time" with smaller roles.

If it was that easy, every actor would be successful and well known.

Anyway. Good for NF. I haven't seen White Noise, mainly because I heard it was terrible, but I may think twice about Pt. 2 since he's in it.

I have White Noise on DVD. I wouldn't call it terrible, by any stretch, and I'm a fairly harsh critic. I thought it was pretty good, actually. Not great. Not fantastic. But entertaining, and certainly worth at least a rent.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Good to see Nathan getting work.

Personally "White Noise" didn't do anything for me with the commercials they aired. A friend rented it when it released on DVD & brought it over one night. Watched it & was not impressed. Doubt I would watch a sequel on anything more than DVD.

indeed he did.

what the article does not tell you is that our dear captain does not have a speaking role, as he will merely be playing a corpse.

he does make a great deal of screen time, however, and will undoubtedly stun us all with his brilliant portrayal of grief, with a small dose of silent contemplation, and a few well timed bits of wittily sarcastic emoting, all while lolling about in a coffin that the other main character feels compelled to bring with him throughout his life (it's a compulsion thing, i don't think they explain it very well in the movie, but it will be revealed rather well in the commentaries following general confusion and speculation among fans.)

let's just hope there aren't too many maggots.

actually, i have no idea.

i'm just bored out of my mind in class, and hungry for lunch.

If it comes to HBO, I'll watch it, but I'm not going to pay to see it. I rarely rent movies/go to the movies as it is.

I'm just tired of Hollywood's over-the-top theatrics with movies like this. The new Amityville Horror? Big disappointment. Although, I look at that in a different perspective since I know a bit about it. I was expecting it to be based on Jay Anson's novel (since the cast and crew argued that it was), and having read that there was just so much that the writer(s) added to it that it was almost a completely different story. Can you tell I'm bitter? ;)

You're upset about it being different than Jay Anson's book? I grew up in Amityville, NY. (yes, seriously) The creative license that *he* took with the "real" story frustrated me, and Warner Brothers got sued because of the original movie and the problems that it caused =p In the end, I had to just write it off as a horror book and try to just enjoy it as entertainment, or I would've ended up with too much stress =)

I'm not saying Anson's book is legit. It's just that it's a good story that had/has potential to be a good movie.

I enjoyed the 70s movie more than the new one, bad film and all. Literally, it was a bad copy. I don't know if all of them are like that since it's older. But I'm just bitter that everyone on set insisted that it was an adaptation from Anson's novel, and it clearly isn't. I mean, the house alone is ugly. Purists everywhere cried foul on that one.

Since you're from Amityville, what's your take on the whole "incident?" Just curious. I'm fascinated by this stuff, but I can't help but think "Hoax!" every time it's mentioned.

I'm totally not understanding how some of y'all can
say you won't go see it. How can you not support
this guy? Remember he's got this like, really big
part in Firefly? I think it would be a sign of good
faith to say the least if we could at least go see
his other movies. Unless y'all just want him to,
you know, ride off into the sunset before he even
turns 40.

I think it's total crap. I love the concept of paranormalism and spooky demon stuff as much as anyone, but I've been in the house. I've played in the "Red Room." The guy who killed his family there, whose name suddenly picked *now* to escape me, did just that. He changed his story in the last five or so years from "the devil made me to it" to "my sister killed everyone, and then I killed her when I came home" by the way. The DeFeo's, I don't have much faith in.

For the record, I do enjoy the movie and the book (I haven't seen the new one, btw), but for me, they're just interesting fiction set in a really familiar neighborhood =p As far as the divergence between the book and the movie, it didn't really seem any more out of place than most movie adaptations. =)

I'm not going to see Slither. Does that make me a bad person? No. I'm not going to pay to see a movie that doesn't appeal to me. I don't even get out to see most of the movies that DO appeal to me.

In the "red room?!" ;) Isn't it just like a whole in the wall, or a closet? That's what I've heard. And I didn't know about DeFeo changing his story so many times. Interesting.

And about the movie adaptations. Yes, that's true. I shouldn't have expected anything different really. The only movies from books that I like are the Harry Potters...and they're missing a great deal from what's in the book. Not much added, though.

I'd have to agree, I usually go see movies that interest me, and I don't normally care who the actors are. I'm watching it to be entertained by the story, not to see it because I liked a different character that a particular actor did in the past.

And going on with the movies from books thing...the books are usually way better, with the exception of the LOTR movies.

Don't even get me started on the evils of the Harry Potter movies....I've found it better to pretend that they don't exist, especially the third one

Zoe: You live on a spaceship, dear.

Ah. And here I heard he played a character who went through the entire movie thinking he was alive, only to find out at the end that he's really been dead the whole time and is only seen by one small, cursed and troubled child.

...

Wait...that sounds familiar....

OldFogey, if it's any consolation, I'm going to go see anything with Nathan in it, just like I'm going to support Joss' next work. Not only do I LOVE Nathan, he's a fine actor and one of these days he'll play a part and people will really notice him ( hope it's the BDSequel!), but I also think that the better that these actors and Joss do, the better the chance we have of getting more Firefly.

Also, I'm excited about Nathan and Katee Sackhoff being in a movie together. They are both really good. I'm gonna give it a chance. And where Slither is concerned. Those kinda movies are not usually my cup 'o tea, but my husband loves 'em. Now we can both go see it, just for different reasons....

Tried that. Had to read both The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring for high school. Never got very far before I just read Sparknotes. I ended up passing the tests just with those

Never went back to them after that...

Also, one of my favorite English teachers, who is an avid LotR fan, actually walked out of the theater during Two Towers. I'm not even sure if she saw the last one.
