Any Prospect of Serenity Sequel Quashed 246
Shadowruni writes "According to IGN.com, there will be no sequel to Serenity." Update: 10/07 01:31 GMT by Z : As enjerth pointed out below, this is not 100% accurate. Don't believe IGN, is the lesson. Here's the word from the man himself: "I turn my back for five minutes (that's how long it takes to admire my lovely back) and the interweb goes banoonoos! Isn't there any ACTUAL news to get wrong? Sorry about all this; it might be best if I just stay off the computer for a while ... The brain place is crowded with goods, ideas, sequels, spinoffs, animated versions, miniseries, radio dramas -- this is just the used goods. All the new wares are in there as well and it's deafening. Once I create a verse I never let go of it. And figuring out how much of my energy should be devoted to reawakening the projects you all love with the actors and characters I all love, and how much should be forging ahead and creating entirely new works (which you are contractually obligated to love) is exhausting."

Many sites ran with similar stories, taking Joss Whedon's words out of context.

If you missed all the fun, at the weekend Joss responded to the latest Serenity sequel rumour and quite rightly knocked it on the head. Several sites picked up on what he said and took his remarks to mean that there would be never be a sequel to Serenity.

I'm me, so... let's glut! Here are some ABSOLUTELY TRUE statements of factiness. Gentlemen, start your websites.

Joss was putting to rest the rumor that he was working on Serenity 2, not saying that there will never be a Serenity 2.
Not never. (Score:1, Informative)
Straight from the horse's mouth [whedonesque.com]: 4) I will absolutely, posatively never ever do any kind of Serenity sequel or spinoff unless a studio asks me. Politely. Or meanly, that's cool too.

And we wonder why shows like Firefly got canned. Sheesh.
No we don't, pretty much every agrees it was mismanaged by Fox (plus, while great, it wasn't the most mainstream of shows). It wasn't because of people downloading it. In fact, quite the opposite; the movie got made largely because so many people bought the DVDs.

Well, that and shoot people. "No power in the 'verse can stop me". But yes, aside from the shooting people dead while looking away from them, she didn't do much. Well, the more specific mind readingy bits too. And occasional bits of athleticism I think. Certainly stealing the ship from the bounty hunter. But not realy much.
