Quote:Originally posted by batmarlowe: I hope you're right. But I want to make sure I understand you correctly. You're saying that "I can take it to the bank" that DVD sales will be enough that Universal (or any other studio) will greenlight a SERENITY sequel. I am interpreting that to mean you are saying that I can "take it to the bank" that there will be a feature-length theatrically, domestically released movie that is beyond a reasonable doubt a sequel (or prequel) to SERENITY. Do I understand you correctly? If so, I am willing to bet you 1 (one) copy of the SERENITY DVD and 1 (one) copy the super-extra-special-ultra-deluxe edition of the SERENITY DVD (should there be one) that you're wrong. Comic Books don't count. If there's a Straight-to-DVD or a Made-for-TV SERENITY sequel (prequels count in this scenario and all others described below), it wouldn't be a theatrically released movie. But it would be live-action sequel to SERENITY so it'll be a partial win for you. Let's say you win ten bucks. An animated cartoon series set in the FIREFLY 'verse counts as a partial win for you. If miracle upon miracle there is a new live-action FIREFLY/SERENITY series that retains as a regular at least one (1) of the original nine (9) characters--you win. That means that if another actor should play the part of one (1) of the orginal nine (9) characters (a sacrilege) it's still a full win for you. If there is a series set in the FIREFLY 'verse but has none of the orginal nine (9), that'll be a partial win--ten bucks for you. If one of the orginal nine (9) shows up a guest star--still just a partial win. If for some reason there should be a theatrically, domestically released feature length movie that is set in the FIREFLY 'verse but has none of the original cast members (hard to imagine) that'll count as a full win for you, 'cause hey, it's a movie. If there is a live action Made-for-TV or Straight-to-DVD sequel for the domestic audience, but gets released overseas theatrically, that's only partial win for you. If there is a theatrically released movie that plays in a few domestic cities (Toronto counts) but ends up not getting a nationwide release--that counts. You win. If there is a straight to DVD movie and some movie theatre independently shows it on the big screen that doesn't count as a theatrical release. Just to make it understood there are no conditions under which I partially win. I win a copy of the DVD and the Special Edition DVD (if there is one) if there are no further FIREFLY/SERENITY 'verse stories at all or if they only continue in comics. Obviously it will take a year or two or three to make sure one of has won. So save your SERENITY DVD receipts. In spite of all the lawyery contingencies I thought of I consider this a friendly bet among fellow Browncoats that I hope I lose. Whaddaya say?

Quote:Originally posted by RiveR6213: I doubt you lost any Browncoats because of the movie. Matter of fact, I suspect the fanbase has grown major since the movie Serenity came out. I discovered Serenity and Firefly 3 weeks ago and I am neurotically obsessed by it exactly like all the other people I've introduced Firefly to; 43 people to be precise, so I think that the movie "Serenity" served as a gateway to firefly, and most people seem to love it right away. Most people that I pestered to go to see Serenity were like me, they've never even heard of Firefly, and they considered themselves hardened scifi fans, but after seeing Serenity, they ran out and purcahsed firefly, or I purchased it for them, and they watched all the episodes multiple times, and now, they won't shutup talking about firefly when I later see them. My point is that I am one person, and this one person watched Serenity 3 weeks ago and right after that watched the whole Firefly series, and then infected her friends with it, so that THEY ran out and watched Serenity, and then purchased Firefly and so on. So I suspect that Universal is very happy with this, and we might just get another movie, or maybe a series, because this thing is a money maker for them. The Process Course of the Virus known as the "Serenity/Firefly Syndrome" 1. Complete denial of the existence of the movie and the series. 2. 1st viewing of Serenity causing brainlock - "What the hell is this?" Syndrome. 3. Obsessive thoughts regarding the movie Serenity - Beginning obsessive behavior. 4. Wonderment of the characters in the movie Serenity - Giving life to obsessive behavior. 5. Google search of Serenity - Searching for another fix behavior. 6. The discovery of Firefly - The obsession deepens. 7. Purchase Firefly and watch 3 episodes - The point of no return behavior. 8. Watched every episode multiple times and starts to get angry about the cancellation of the show after 14 episodes - The Beginning of the End Behavior. 8. Talk to friends about Serenity/Firefly - Won't Shut Up about it Syndrome. 9. Joins forum, reads about Firefly/serenity, downloads podcasts, leaves emotionally written posts in forums - You are the Slave of Joss Syndrome. 10. Purchases FF the Complete Series, books, soundtracks for all your friends, even for those who hate scifi and life in general - Spreading the Virus Syndrome. 11. Unreasonable, emotionally charged anger at companies like FOX and Universal - "How could they do this to us" Syndrome.
