This timeline tells me somethings afoot:

28 July: Firefly is re run on Universal HD.

21 August: Universal releases the Collectors Edition.

30 September: Rumoured that contracts for a sequel expire.

4 October: Alan mentions Serenity sequel

27/28 October: Nathan, Summer, Morena, Alan & Sean will be at the Supernatural Convention's - salute to Firely/Serenity. Wonder where Joss will be ?

Not saying that this is proof but it does have a certain feel to it. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck & quacks like a duck.....

We're still flying.

From what I've seen of other, older posts regarding youtube crackdown/removal, they seem to predicate new releases for $ on DVD.
Some of the removal/crackdown material I read about was on the CE DVD release.

My feeling is that he normally moves quite quickly to dispel rumours, and thus no news is most likely good news....

Joss is usually on a bum rumor as soon as it hits. He wouldn't let us hang fire like this on an untruth.

No squashing or smothering of rumors with pillows.

I'm lovin' it!

We keep going and going...

"I got a reply from Chris B. to an email I sent last week. Here are some (slightly paraphrased) things he said:

• Joss will never be finished telling the story of FF/S.

• Keep your fingers crossed.

• The most important thing we fans can do is to keep the Browncoat community strong -- keep posting, keep having special screening, keep Firefly/Serenity in the minds of the critics, media, retailers, on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc.

• In other words, keep flyin'!"



Browncoats are the shiniest folks in the 'verse

Interesting too how Serenity: Better Days has basically disappeared from discussion (the second DarkHorse Serenity comic). It's release date was continually bumped - last I heard it was suppose to come out late 2007, which is um, like *now* and still no word...

Much as I love Jewel, let's not get all depressed, here. This is what she said:

"Okay, okay, okay: Lets address these Serenity 2 rumors before anything else. I have no idea what you people are talking about! Seems to me someone (with a name that starts with A and ends in LAN) said something in an interview that was misconstrued as the sequel being greenlit, which is not the case at the moment. I will never say it will never happen, because that's just blasphemy in my opinion, but it's not happening at the moment… no matter what you read on the internet. You know better than to believe everything you read, anyway! "

No one, not even the most ridiculously optimistic, has ever said they thought what Alan meant was that Universal (or, anyone else) had greenlighted a sequel.

Pretty much, Jewel's NOT Joss.

So, I'm still waiting to hear from HIM about the rumors about Universal /being interested in/ a sequel, as expressed by Alan in the original interview.

Hang in there, folks. This is far from over.

I have a theory, and it is just that, theory. I agree that there is no "green light" for Serenity II. I also believe that there is no "official" discussions going.

However, I do think that there are backroom and lunch time discussions happening. Remember folks that making a movie is a multi-million dollar deal. The days of the .com's are gone and people don't make these kinds of deals on the back of napkin.

My theory (theory means I made it up from a bunch of clues and it might or might NOT have a connection to reality) is that there have probably been some low level folks at the studio that have said, "these numbers are starting to look good". There are probably some MBA types (I can poke fun at MBA"s as I are one) in the head office that are looking at the numbers. They might even have had some lunch time/cocktail hour discussions with Joss about what he thought about it.

The next part of my theory is about Joss himself. Every interview I have seen and everything I have read about him shows him to be very quick witted and shrewd. I also think he wants to do more with the "Verse". The kicker here is that I think he wants to make this a real movie, not a two hour episode. He needs a real budget for that. He also wants to pay the actors real money. This means negotiations because the MBA's want the same rates as before to get what they got. Joss is probably negotiating but wants them to come to him verses him begging (which is what happened with Serenity).

This kind of dance takes time. The buzz among the fan community only helps him. IMHO, he will not kill it unless it becomes obvious that he can't deliver (I think he genuinely likes his fan base and doesn't want them hurt).

I am cautiously optimistic. This is still VERY early days yet and multi-million dollar sales jobs (which is what we are watching here) take time, finesse, and a bunch of plain old hard work. I read these threads every day for more real evidence and I don't see much other than Joss's silence. Alan's remark is interesting, but lacks follow through. Jewel's remark is interesting for what it doesn't say (Alan's remark was about "discussions". Jewel's remark was about a "green light").

So what should we do? First, keep posting and watching. Secondly, BUY the collector's edition (I have already ordered my wife's Xmas present .... don't tell ;-) Finally, be patient. I think Joss is in a dance with the studio people and it will take time.

Remember this is a theory based on just a smidgen of data and a whole lot of creative imagery. I have no inside track and don't really know. I just guessing like all of the rest of us ;-)
