Hey all, not sure if this has been posted but I figured it was important to share:

Looks like Joss has given up on us? :(

That was taken out of context, read his remark posted at Whedonesque 30 mins ago.

Entirely pointy.

The writer of this article is misleading. The actual Joss Whedon quote states simply that there is not work presently on a sequel and he wanted to squash rumours to the contrary. The article also states that Serenity did not make its money back and that is not true.

Here's Joss' actual post, from whedonesque.com
-------------------------

Quote:
Hi boys and odd, smooth, compellingly bumpy non-boys. I'm in Liverpool, on Alexis' lap... sorry, laptop, checking in and seeing all sorts of nonsense about a sequel to something. I did run into someone at Forbidden Planet, and he said something about that I ought to make more things, possibly art things, and I agreed. He didn't know the fellow I was with was Brian Hitch but it was 'cause I'm so, yeah, awesome. Yes, Warren and Natalie and Brian and I had dinner, after nattering on for SFX at the hotel (I like that mag) and it was blazingly fun. They're all three multitalented, urbane, and surprisingly sweet. I'm none of those things but I came the farthest so they had to be nice. BUT...

There's no sequel, no secret project regarding Serenity or somesuch and I'm not even sure how anyone thought there was talk there. I've seen Nathan and Tim (and Summer and Alan) recently because they're my friends because I'm so, yeah, awesome. So let's put that to bed and smother it with a pillow.

Fun fact: Didn't read the thread, but as for James playing Shinzon: that's the reason he left for darkest Africa at the end of season six. We were giving him the time off to do the film. When it didn't happen, the course was already set. But he got a nifty soul and that worked out okay.

Oh, and I heard Marvel pushed back X-Men 18? I've delivered 19, and Johnny's working steadily, so blame the marketplace. In fact, overturn the marketplace, the way Jesus did when he was cranky about that thing that time.

***Personally, I take this to mean there is no sequel in the works right now, not that its never gonna happen. Joss has many, many, things going on right now. Wonder Woman, X-Man, Runaways...

Oh thank God! Thanks for clearing that up; I got a little worried.

That's fine with me :). What was said needs to be spread as quickly and as far as possible.

I'm already off doing it.

In fact, I will have this make the rounds of the Yahoo groups and the forums via the Browncoat Signal Corps! That's one of the quickest ways to spread the word.

Anyway to have those websites from yesterday picking up this story? Anything we can do to help with that?

SimonF - correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you a member over at Whedonesque? I know several people here are on that board as well.(Embers, Sucatash(?) and others)

Could you tell me if the membership is ever open over there - or do you have to be Johnny Knoxville to sign up??

Any idea when they will open membership?
