[FIREFLY/SERENITY] It's not just Joss. Even Alan "Wash" Tudyk calls "Serenity 2" likely!
Quoting from this site:
I know this is beating a dead horse, but another rumor has been kicked up out of the dust and this time it may be a bit more reliable, and I just can't resist. The guys over at Moviehole.net have a quote from Alan Tudyk (who plays Wash) where he claims that the recent buzz regarding the re-release of the Serenity DVD is causing Universal to consider making another one. There are so many questions: How recent is this interview? Is Alan just poking fun for the heck of it? Will it be direct-to-DVD or not?
I trust what Alan has to say, it's that I'm not sure this can be counted as fully legitimate. Maybe he was just saying this for the heck of it and his quote got taken out of context. Or maybe this was not too recent and can't be counted as something real, just a far-fetched "rumbling" at Universal. Anyway, here's Alan's ever-so-important quote.
"They had to put [the new DVD] out because they've been selling out of the other one and so Universal's like 'So, let's do another one’. And now… there's now a chance there's going to be another movie."
"Everybody in the Firefly crew - and that includes the ones who died in the movie - are excited about the prospect of doing another."
Update: Clint, the writer who conducted the interview over at Moviehole, has informed us in the comments below that this is all up-to-date and completely real. It's all just in Universal's hands now, as Alan makes it sound like they're very interested.
Being a website that focuses purely on theatrical releases - I've got to hope that it will be theatrical. However the current "thought" is that it just won't be. Serenity was a massive financial flop at the box office and I don't think they're smart enough to realize that if they actually marketed it correctly, it could easily be a success. More and more fans join the legion of Browncoats every day - and that alone should be enough to warrant another in-theater sequel.
For now I'll keep dreaming and hope that Universal realizes their mistake on the first film and comes around on this second one. Need a prime example of a film that's doing just that? How about Fox's Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem??
