Good question,

Although it’s been a while I think this question has come up before. Anyhow , as you’ve stated as long as any of the known actors of Serenity (Firefly) weren’t being replaced with a big name star I have no problem with having somebody with a lot of clout signing on for Serenity 2.

I remember after my kids got me started playing video games one of my first and favorite games was Tomb Raider. I played every game and when I heard that there was going to be a TR movie I was excited. The only thing wrong with that was when they announced Angelina Jolie as the TR I thought, “ Heck that’s all wrong!” My opinion was that AJ wasn’t the Tomb Raider and felt that it was totally a money move by all the companies involved. It didn’t matter, the TR movie was made and from what I understand made enough money to spawn a sequel. So in the end I guess they knew what they were doing.

If a big name star is what it would take to get us a BDM2 then I’m all for it. I can envision a rival pirate vessel ( maybe even another Firefly) competing with Serenity over the same loot. The captain of that vessel would have to be as strong and charismatic an individual as Mal Reynolds and I think I have the perfect Hollywood star. Will Smith has become quite a bankable and fine actor IMO and I for one think he would bring in a ton of money for Serenity the Sequel. If Robin Williams was along for the ride as kind of a Badger like guy I can see that too.

Anyway the list could go on and on and I may edit this post to add other names. Also I don’t feel the other Firefly pirate ship (Tranquility) would necessarily need to have a crew of nine ( like Serenity did), no reverse image of our beloved transport, like Jennifer Love Hewitt = Inara, or Tommy Lee Jones = Jayne Cobb. Nope, just a simple crew of 5 or 6 would do.

Well that’s about it,

Hold the line, Z

Will Smith as a rival captain would be awesome. If needed, he can submerge himself into the character.

Also Kevin Bacon as an Alliance officer with a crisis of conscience would be wonderful. He can also play a smiling villian wonderfully.

A Serenity sequel with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones? I can see it now, instead of “ Men in Black” it could be called “ Men out in the Black” …..lol

There are a couple of posts that have been put up saying that having Big Name Stars might not be a good idea for the rest of the cast of a BDS and therefore a Serenity sequel could loose it’s identity due to the overpowering name of said movie star.

Schism & Dewrastler I agree with you both, a BDM2 could run the risk of loosing some of it’s low-key flare by having Will Smith or someone like him play a role in that movie. The only thing I can think to say is movie making is a numbers game and big movie companies respond to big money numbers. Bringing in a big name to bring in more fans to bring in bigger box-office may mean more of everything. More movies, more fans, more of our BDHs and more happiness for everybody involved.

This doesn’t mean that any big name would have to stick around for a third movie or a forth, heck they could be killed off or sent out to the far reaches of the Black and never seen again. The idea is to have big box-office and make a ton of cash so Serenity can keep flying. I think once every seat is filled and every theater sold out the first weekend or so Joss could have his bargaining chip. I do think that once the audience (other than fans already) get to the theaters and see the show they’ll be as hooked as the browncoat family is now.

TUJIAOZUO, your fan-fic sounds amazingly interesting. I will look up the Rising Sun and check out Virgil East. Any old war friend of Mal’s is a friend of mine.

Rallem, my post above was referring to your post and the one by NCBrowncoat who had posted just after you. You posted about Tommy Lee and NC’s post had Will Smith. Together they made me think of “Men in Black”.

PS: I think Jet Li would make an excellent operative!Kevin Bacon I think too, would make a great alliance officer NCB

Lets just imagine the unthinkable. What if Firefly was a brand new concept and we had never seen any of the BDH before. Who would have been the ideal actors to have played the crew and supporting cast.
