Serenity Just the First
The Firefly crew are signed up for three movies.
December 13, 2004 - Despite a release that was rescheduled from April to September, things are looking good for Firefly. Series creator Joss Whedon and the film's backers are hoping to make spin-off movie Serenity the first part of a trilogy, as Nathan Fillion (Capt. Malcolm Reynolds) confirmed to About.com in a recent interview.
"If this first movie does well, we're all roped into a trilogy," said Fillion. "We all signed for a trilogy so if this first one does well, we're going to do two more."
Fillion also expressed hope that a successfull film or three could lead to another television series – a sentiment all fans can approve of.
Fillion, who also worked with Whedon in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has nothing but praise for the director's work on Serenity. "Joss is a brilliant man. He's one of those guys that is so very, very clever, he can leave you in the dust intellectually. But he's one of those guys that keeps his feet on the ground and doesn't ever make you feel stupid. He's far more intelligent than I. How he does it? I don't know. If I could kill him and take that talent I would."
Nine months seems like an eternity to wait considering all the questions Whedon's intriguing series left unanswered, but seeing the crew of the Firefly return for two hours of movie time should be worth it. I highly encourage readers to check out the Firefly DVD set if they haven't already. Even if you've seen it on TV, the DVD set included episodes that never aired.
