Loni Peristere, visual-effects supervisor for the SF movie Serenity, told SCI FI Wire that there's hope for future flights of the cast and crew of the movie, which just came out on DVD. Director Joss Whedon—who also created the canceled Fox TV show Firefly, on which the movie is based—expected that the movie might draw the low numbers it did in its theatrical release, Peristere said in an interview. But he added that the movie's sales on DVD, which came out on Dec. 20, are running neck-and-neck with the hit comedy Wedding Crashers, which bodes well for a possible Serenity sequel.

"We kind of expected this from our audience," Peristere said. "We did so well on with the Firefly box set and the performance of that helped us get the movie made. We wish the audience would get up and go to the theater, but it shows that they like to keep coming back and revisiting the world Joss created." Serenity made $25 million at the domestic box office after it was released Sept. 30.

1. God. Enough already. Joss, there's a reason your series got axed.

"Firefly" fans, please don't flame me. Just...DON'T. There's no need. The show was mediocre at best and the film bit. Yeah, yeah, it made some money, so he could make some more films with the same concept, but...I hope he doesn't. What would a sequel even look like? More ass?

6. Here, I'm going to punch you, but please don't hit me back.

There's no need.

That's a pretty crappy way to enter into a discussion.

7. Jeez- it's not like if he made another sequel YOU'd have to watch it.....

9. Don't worry. Most people...

...didn't see the movie or the series. The danger of a sequel's annoying you still seems small. I'm sure you'll have ample warning, and will escape accidental exposure.

3. I just saw Serenity tonight.

I loved it. I was glad it wrapped up some things,but left the door open for further adventures.

Best film of last year, best TV show of the millenium so far, imo. MORE! MORE!
