Serenity/Firefly — End of the line
Comcast ran an “exclusive” interview with Joss Whedon, creator of the scif-fi series, Firefly and it’s follow-up movie, Serenity.
Fans of the series have been talking about a movie trilogy and/or a resurrection of the story on TV, but Whedon set the record straight.
In short: it’s over. And there was never any trilogy.
Here are some relevant quotes (in case the page goes away at some point):
Tags: Sci-fi, tv, whedonSo is the story finished?
The, um, the movie is finished. And the story is told. The world is not finished. There’s more to tell, but that’s always the case with everything I do and whether I get the chance to tell [it] or not it is up to somebody else. So I made sure that this movie had completion and didn’t feel like a glorified prequel. It’s its own piece and it wraps everything up. I have a sense of closure that I never had, and I can walk away satisfied. But if somebody tells me not to walk away, I’ll turn right back around.
There were originally plans to make this a trilogy, right?
No, that’s a myth. The original plan was to just make a movie. Had Universal said that they would like to make a trilogy, I would have said, ‘Huzzah!’ But they were taking a gamble on a movie with no-name actors, a first-time director, a universe that’s damn hard to explain, and a premise that’s the same. It was nothing less than a gamble and bless their hearts for gambling once. They weren’t about to say, ‘Let’s do a three-fer!’
