More on Serenity

HowStuffWorks (one of my favorite sites) has a behind the scenes on Serenity. Really interesting stuff. Especially on the future of Serenity:

The cast is signed for two sequels, which they and Whedon would gladly make. "There are more stories to tell with these characters, so if the opportunity came up, I'd jump. We had a lot of fun and I think it translates on screen. I believe that if people see it, they will like it," says the director. He wouldn't rule out another TV version either, but adds "though I don't know who owns the TV rights."

I think the Sci-Fi Channel has TV rights, but I could be wrong. That would be a very welcoming home I expect. Although usually if a movie does well you see a second movie, not a TV series, especially if the movie is based on a TV series. I guess time will tell. Serenity was #2 at the box office (right after Flightplan) on opening weekend. RottenTomatoes, which aggrogates movie reviews, has it rated at 80% FRESH (Really good). Most everyone involved in the movie has very little "Star Power" with Hollywood as a whole. A lot of them have been in other movies or even top TV shows, but I don't think any of them had top billing on a blockbuster movie. We will see what next week holds. I say the odds of a sequal are very good.
