Then he rose triumphantly from the ashes and made Serenity and it did,...... ok. Asking Joss to make a second Firefly movie or Series is a little like asking Kevin Smith to make "Jersey Girl 2" or "Zack and Miri make ANOTHER porno"! When you write produce and direct something like this and it fails to reach the audience you hoped, people aren't just rejecting the material they are rejecting YOU! At least that's how it seems. In a world full of media created for the lowest common denominator a show like Firefly that requires it's viewer have some level of intelligence and imagination won't last no matter how good it is. Unless of course you want to re-boot the franchise by destroying the previous time line thus erasing the investment your loyal fans have made in it. In that case warp speed ahead!

WHAT? Fox had a show called Firefly(oops I wrote serenity above). You know something fox messed up something good. I watched fox all the time, and not once did I hear of a show called Firefly. As a matter of fact just like a billion people out there, I never heard of it until like 2 years after the movie came out. If you would have put it on Sci-Fi or something, they would've never neglected a masterpiece like this. I didn't even think that Fox was running this show because they're not the type of network that takes good things serious. You guys know damn well who their target audience is. I'm not going to get into details but lets just say that they ALL act like little kids from the producers to the actors to the audience. I loved the movie, the characters, the actors, the story/plot, and most of all how you could somehow connect with the characters and understand them. I have to tell you though I'm not that informed with what happened. What did they cancel it in the middle of the season, or was it really supposed to end like that. Its been 7 years since this show came out. Though they revived it with the movie, I am afraid that they might not make a second season. Its been too long and I honestly dont think the series or the movie could be the same without the original cast. Theres only a couple characters that i think can be replaced, but we all know which one just cannot go. IF they do come out with it I will be more than glad to dish out 10 or 11 dollars to see it at the movies, if it means that they will make another one. Then even better. I would bring friends with me and I know they would be glued to their seats. I would cancel an important date to not miss an episode. THATS how much I like it. This cant be the end of it. Just do it already. But please, just please do not change anything to try and please another audience, I guearantee you it will backfire. And we'll be back to square one. Until then I will miss following this great series. If anybody hears anything or can send me any good news about the status of this issue. Please contact me at merkury_002@yahoo.com . Thank you.

YES Arthur i SO agree that FUX is to blame for this outcome. If serenity 2 or firefly season 2 were to be made, i would most def buy DVD collector editions. Firefly is as epic as star wars (the original trilogy, not the childish episode 1 2 and 3 (gawd dont even metnion the animated series =.=")) was in it's day.

RLY?!?! "There STILL isn’t a big enough audience for Firefly- only a small percentage went to see Serenity. Even if a common complaint is that the film was poorly marketed, that’s not an excuse. If the fanbase is that big, they would know when the film is coming out. If they all showed up that’s a small percentage. If they didn’t show, thinking ‘wait for DVD”…?" I don't know why i'm replying to this but what you said was too off. If you do any research at all you will find that most fans had no idea firefly even existed before serenity. Fox did about the worst job possible with this show. 1. Aired the Episodes out of order ( seriously I LOL at this every time...how stupid can you be) 2. Very little advertising was done as nobody ( including myself ) even had heard of Firefly until Serenity. 3. &^%&^%$^$ FOX or rather FUX as I say now... 4. Canceled it after i believe 8 episodes ( no faith) Even after Serenity a good majority of the peeps I have chatted with online who love this show had never heard of Firefly, so why would you go see a movie about a tv show you have never heard of. Plus the film was poorly marketed. I do not view that as a poor excuse when most people had no clue of what Firefly was when it came out. I would bet a lot of money that if a second Firefly was put out its ratings ould be huge. There isn't a browncoat I know who would miss it...and I know a lot of Browncoats. I saw the movie when it came out on dvd as I was one of the above people...and then I rented the show. The show was when I fell in love with it. There is a huuuge amount of hustle and bustle online still about a show that is 8 years old. Its pretty amazing and gives me hope. There are many more points I could make about websites that do ratings and Firefly being at the top...however I'd rather agree with you about Twin Peaks... that show was ammmmaaazing. Keep it choice, keep it flying, arthur Honestly Darren? RLY?!?!

Make sure you've read the commenting rules before doing so) In response to 'Mozzerino', I don't know if you were just trying to be clever, or if you don't know how to spell, but to mispell Alan Tudyk's name ('tudick'), and then say that his opinion doesn't matter at all b/c he's 'just an actor' would be grounds for a beat-down nearly anywhere in the 'verse. He is just one of the principal actors in both 'Firefly' and 'Serenity', and might have a more intimate view of the possibilities of a sequel than mozzerino does. See, I spelled your name correctly, because I'm gonna respect you even if I don't agree with you. (Type your comment here.

As for Wash's comments, his talk doesn't buy filmstock or anything else for that matter. I'm a huge fan of the movie and the series but it got one more chance than most shows and it chunked twice. From a business sense, its a easy NO. Furthermore, I'm a retro-fan. I watched movie on DVD and thought it was really good. I saw a vague preview for theaters once. It had nice, flashy visuals but no mention of story or plot I can remember. I, a sci-fi movie-going consumer, did not even consider seeing this movie. I remember this because I immediately began kicking myself for not seeing this wonderful sci-fi movie on the big screen, anything less is a crime against movie viewing. It was like Serenity was thrown out there, promotionally, and expected to turn profit off the Firefly fanbase alone. What little promotion I did see for Serenity, did little to draw new audience. Actually, its pretty arrogant in a way. Still, reasons or not, moving forward is not a good business case. That has to make funding very difficult to come across.
