Quote:Originally posted by FollowMal: Quote:Originally posted by DevonNite: How about a little help folks I don't know Joss or anyone at Universal but I would imagine unfortunately that the above two posts are right. Universal owns Serenity and can do with it or not as it pleases. I'm just really happy that for whatever reason they're "double dipping". I don't mind, and I'm happy to spend the money. I'd hate to say that this means they might be watching the sales to determine whether or not to do a sequel. I asked TheOneTrueBix on a thread recently what he thought and I got no answer... I took that as a negative. We're left where we were I suppose. With new shiny stuff, a deep yearning for more and our friends right here at "home". www.goodworkspresents.org

Quote:Originally posted by DevonNite: So what it might come down to is, Universal Calls and says "Hey Joss we are going to make this Special Edition, now you can help us out and make it the best it can be, or you can let us handle it, but either way we are going to do this" You all might be correct, but hopefully this will generate more interest and enough money to inspire Universal into another investment.

Quote: I did a special edition commentary with some dear friends for a movie we did, and I'm looking forward to seeing it come out again.
Quote: Originally posted by Causal: The decision by Universal to release a special edition means at least this much: they think that Serenity is a property they can make money on. Now, obviously this does not mean that they've green-lit a sequel (nor does it even mean they're thinking about it). But at the very least, they recognize that they have a profitable product on their hands. Will that translate into more movies? Well, heck, there's just no way to know, really. But I have to think that if Serenity (and now the SE) continue to be profitable for them, they may start thinking about whether round two would be worth a go.

Quote:Originally posted by Storymark: So, this summer, we need to make sure we all buy a couple copies of the Special Edition. And while we're at it, get a couple copies of the Babylon 5 - The Lost Tales DVD, just to help show that a "niche Sci Fi TV show continued on DVD" has a workable business model.

I could be completely and totally wrong about this, but I think that this is the case. I needed to be more specific I think, DevonNite. Universal owns NBC/SciFi. They could do a miniseries on the channel. As for a direct to DVD movie...Uni itself could do that. I agree that Uni owns the rights to Serenity. I think that the rights to Firefly are currently optioned to SciFi so that they can run the reruns. I have no idea what that means for a miniseries of Firefly but I think that means Serenity is a possibility. I meant to come back to the thread and add a thought I had....although genre tv is not mainstream ( say like, American Idol-bleh ) it is becoming more popular. The hits Heroes and BSG are adding to the popularity of genre shows again. Perhaps a sea change is coming... as the way that folks watch tv ( more and more we're buying DVD's of shows we love ) and watch movies will open up new avenues for our beloved show.

Quote:Originally posted by Storymark: One of the provisions of Fox selling the movie rights to Universal was that Universal cannot do any TV incarnation. So a TV mini is out, regardless of the title.
Quote: Originally posted by TheOneTrueBix: Anyway, as someone else keeps saying, Universal's option on the actors allegedly expires in September. If so, I don't think a summer-released DVD is Universa testing the sales waters in order to make a decision about a sequel, because July/August/September is not enough of a timeframe in which they could make that decision.

Quote:Originally posted by theonetruebix: Like it or not, Uni gave us a comparatively skimpy DVD the first time around. They are a business, and they saw the sales, and they're doing the new version. It's pretty straightforward. What I think is likely, whatever Uni has or hasn't said to Joss, is that Joss likely has a wishlist of what to put on the new edition, and will do however much or however little he's allowed to do to get that list of stuff onto it. The industry is an industry. Right now all Joss can do is take advantage of having a special edition by exerting whatever influence he might hopefully have, and get it packed with stuff. I mean, would you rather he boycotted the thing instead?

Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: Just my opinion, but I think Universal and Joss already have plans on a sequel. I've heard that he'd like the sequel to take place when the crew is older, and I'm pretty sure if I heard about it, then pretty much everybody else in here already has, because I'm not a fan of Joss myself and I don't follow any of his work.

ANd hey they already double dipped me with the HD-DVD so this will be a triple dip. Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on!

Quote:Originally posted by vbrad511: Recently addicted, hoping for more too. I just bought the R4 SE version. I had the 2nd disc in a few nights ago and kinda nodded off, but woke up when Joss had a Q&A session with decent sized audience. He talked (rather teased) of a sequal maybe being in the think tank. Wouldn't absolutely commit, but sure got my hopes up. It's definately on his mind.
Quote:Funny thing is though, I bought Serenity by mistake, thinking it was something else.
