A few weeks ago the great Alan Tudyk hinted around to Moviehole that there might be a sequel to Serenity. Fans everywhere instantly stripped naked and took to the streets in celebration, but they may have revealed their bits and pieces for no reason. One of Alan’s Serenity co-stars has responded and said he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
The word comes from SciFiWire where they’ve been stalking the MySpace page of super-cute actress Jewel Staite. Staite played the horny ship’s engineer Kaylee in Serenity and Firefly and she’s currently mired on that awful syndicated spin-off show Stargate: Atlantis. I’m glad she’s working, but I kind of feel bad for her that she’s been forced to go from a quality show like Firefly to the absolute dregs of science fiction.
Anyway, speaking of Serenity 2 Jewel has this to say: “Okay, okay, okay: Lets address these Serenity 2 rumors before anything else. I have no idea what you people are talking about! Seems to me someone (with a name that starts with A and ends in LAN) said something in an interview that was misconstrued as the sequel being greenlit, which is not the case at the moment. I will never say it will never happen, because that's just blasphemy in my opinion, but it's not happening at the moment… no matter what you read on the internet. You know better than to believe everything you read, anyway! (except this blog… cuz it's all true.)” Even her blogs are cute. I think I’m in love.
So there you have it, if there’s a Serenity 2 happening it’s being kept secret from one of the film’s stars. I’m more inclined to believe Staite than Tudyk, if only because Tudyk’s character is dead and probably wouldn’t be in the sequel anyway. She’d probably be higher on creator Joss Whedon’s “call in case of sequel” list.
