Serenity Isn't Dead YetBy Rafe Telsch: 2006-10-08 00:00:00
Last week we reported about Joss Whedon’s death knell for “Firefly” and its film life as Serenity. Whedon announced to the press that the project was dead with no future plans and that he wasn’t even certain why anyone thought plans even existed.
Apparently, the creator of “Buffy, the Vampire Slayer” and “Firefly” spoke too strongly and, although the press ran with it, they did run in the implied direction. Now Whedon is saying the rumors of Serenity’s death have been greatly exaggerated. He didn’t mean to say the project was dead forever, just that no current plans existed for the franchise to carry on. Whedon’s new statement, made to Whedonesque carries his usual style: I will absolutely, posatively [sic] never ever do any kind of Serenity sequel or spinoff unless a studio asks me. Politely. Or meanly, that's cool too. The smarmy explanation might also be misconstrued as false. After all, it is part of a lenthy post where Whedon also claims “lonelygirl” has been cast for his upcoming Wonder Woman film in the title role and that the CW has given him a green light for a “Buffy” spin-off focused on the first slayer among other false statements. However the final part of the post features Whedon explaining how hard it is for him to let go of past projects and that he promises to let fans know as soon as anything is in the works in any of his created universes. In other words, nothing is dead until Whedon says it’s dead, and he ain’t sayin’ nothin’ yet, other than there’s nothing to be said for now. Not never, just now.
