One thing I can absolutely guarantee - the comments are fairly positive, so won't be plastered all over the internet news sites. If she'd said 'Joss is evil and refuses to make one!', it'd be everywhere as 'Joss hates fans and plans to invade Denmark, too!'.

Let me go tell IMDb...they'd believe it, right?

Anyway, why assume Summer's stupid and thinks contract => chance? I read her as saying that without a contract there wouldn't have been a chance, which I'm sure is right. Anyway, I like her for hoping, though I won't hold my breath - and I don't think she is either.

Well, you are hereby invited to drop by any time you like. The autograph queue will be a bit short, but I'll just go stand in it many times to keep you busy. :-P

Meanwhile, I completely forgot she was coming to Australia! Alas, to Sydney.

Surely if there is anyone that can give us a little positive information that can at least be assumed to be not a total fabrication of truth it's going to be one of the main cast members.
She is saying that there is still a chance, nothing more. I'll take that as a plus, myself.

Although Summer is totally right - the cast are under contract for now, and so Universal are able to put something into production if they want. And if they did, they'd tell Joss and likely the actors agents. So if one of the above says 'Hey, this could really happen', that'll be a hint something has changed at the Unis of the 'verse.

(But surely newsmen wouldn't do such a thing would they??????????)
How many times do Joss and the BDH have to answer this question?

Are you forgetting that she's crazy? She doesn't know what she's saying. She never knows what she's saying.
I kid, I kid... :)

Now...the bigger question here is: how do we keep on making that "possible" a steady presence? Maybe even bump it up a notch to "very possible?" Cuz we got power...but our recruitment drive is mis-matched to a world bent on capital gains.
Too bad we couldn't have someone A+-list celeb admit Firefly and Serenity were their guilty pleasures when chillaxing at home or on set;D

If any of the cast of Serenity or Joss himself manage to get a big break and become a big brand name in Hollywood, then I can definitely see Universal wanting to return to Serenity to cash in on that name. All the cast and Joss seem to want to make another movie, so it's just a matter of situation being right so that Universal thinks they can get a good return on their investment of a sequel.

Wait, gossi, I thought we were all set to invade Spain with hungry, angry kitten squads. Now it's on for Denmark?
Geez, I am so not dressed right. Gimme a sec to change...

Since we seem to be dividing up Europe, I call Italy. I've got roots there, and it's got a good food rep. If I'm going to be a despot, you better believe the cuisine of the country I conquer will be excellent.

I'm in the 'off-hand comment blown up to headline proportions' camp. She is, of course, bang on. It's still possible since, as far as i'm aware, the universe hasn't ended (though admittedly i'm not always the first to know these things).

The last thing I want to do is further any unnecessary "will-they-or-won't-they-could-they-or-can't-they" sequel ruminating, as it sounds like we're all pretty clear on where things stand. That said, mr. gossi, sir, just out of curiosity... where did Serenity net out in worldwide box office and DVD sales?
barest_smidgen | October 17, 15:28 CET
ETA- boxofficemojo claims: $38,851,952 worldwide box office. Please chime in, gossi.
zeitgeist | October 17, 15:42 CET
Yes, as is always the case when one of the cast says either "it's possible" or "Firefly is over". This is just more of the same.
What truly boggles me, more than anything else, is that it's ragingly evident everytime Joss comes in and makes one of his "setting the record straight" posts that if there's really any new news, we'll hear it directly from him.
Until we see that, stories like these are just people phishing for web traffic by blowing out of proportion an offhand remark.

Aw crap...and I was hoping to nail Wales myself. Cuz if you're gonna have a despot, might as well be one from the people;)
BlueEyedBrigadier | October 17, 22:35 CET
Back to topic, I agree that this seems like an offhand remark, or a response to someone's question, that Summer is just answering honestly. Yep, no reason to raise the alert level unless there's a post in purple font.
billz | October 18, 02:22 CET
So, taking the above with what Summer says, I think we have reason not to give up hope. Any more than that, well, it's all in The Big Purplebator's name. His actual, adopted name. That stands for "luck" in some parts of the world. And is a four-letter word. Word.
And as for world domination/various invasions, can I go with Joss? Barring that, do you think maybe I could arm wrestle the kitten armies for Wales?
