What one-off sci-fi film would you like to see a sequel to?
Serenity is among the choices in today's IMDb poll (which is now closed btw).

No problem voting for the BDM which, although also self-contained, is one of the more natural candidates for a follow-up ('The Thing' - Carpenter remake presumably - would also be cool).

Note also that a typical IMDB poll goes to 20-25k votes; my guess is that the genre focus turned some folks off. Note that there's no 'None of them' option, so the people without opinions are likely not voting. That somewhat dampens the glee at getting 30% *awareness* of Serenity among registered IMDB voters.
Overall? Good news, but not an unexpected showing. Doubt it will start any new back-room conversations, unfortunately, but I'd love to be wrong on that.

I've read of one of Jeter's Bladerunner books and really liked it. I'd have no issues at all with getting to see a sequel to that over just about anything else but Serenity.

Man, you ain't kidding. Marketing to them's a complete bitch. "Sure you've seen it all before but this time ... well, you'll still have seen it all before. Sorry." or "You're old so this will just sound like a noise" or "The best novel of the 20th centu ... aw, who am I trying to kid, he's no Shakespeare, you're wasting your time".
(and catering to the even tinier niche of immortals who also care about the binary millennium ? Not even worth it)
Not read any of the 'Bladerunner' sequels (read Jeter's 'Death Arms' and thought it wasn't bad) but I was pretty happy with the end of the film (director's cut anyway with Deckard's little nod of resolve, lift doors, music, fade out - though I wasn't too happy with parts in the middle of that version ;). Like 'Angel' it felt finished being left unfinished.

Looks like the day has seen more 'popcorn' sci fi movies, like Fifth Element and Independence Day, improve their showings, but Serenity's 30% tally has stayed remarkably constant. I'm pleased.
