The plan is, if the film does well enough, to have a trilogy of films
(From this link, which was posted in the main Firefly thread.)
Trilogy! This is your excuse to see it several times, to up the sales. Also,
The characters of Badger and Saffron will not be in the film, however ALL nine main cast members will appear.
IIRC, we hadn't confirmed that before. All nine! Hurray!
Firefly: Attack of the Clones
Oh. Dear.
Allyson, please don't even think thoughts like that. There are certain ideas which should never be allowed to enter the universe, for fear that once in existence as notions they may become reality.

Firefly: Fire Walk with Mal.
Firefly: The Final Frontier
Joss'll even have Shatner direct.
No, no, no! It won't be like that at all. I trust Joss! Stop it! Stop it!
Firefly Reloaded
No! No! Never! Please, never...
I'm kinda sad Badger's not expected to be in it. He's my favorite non-Serenity based character.
It is a shame that they couldn't have Badger, but I'd rather miss Badger than, say, Book, which as I recall it looked possible at one point. Some plots might drive me to miss Saffron, too, now I think about it.

Oh for sure. I was worried that the casting spoiler was going to be no Book.
Casting spoilers? How about Joss Whedon saying Serenity wouldn't have been possible without the participation of his entire principal cast? (EW, 5/21/04) Like that came as a surprise.
