Joss Whedon fanboys can finally give up all hope, the writer/director has finally confirmed what I've said all along: There will never be a Serenity sequel.

Serenity was a 2005 science fiction western film set in the universe of the cancelled Fox television series Firefly. Including it's home video release, Serenity has still yet to come close to earning back it's $39 million budget.

"There's no sequel, no secret project regarding Serenity or somesuch and I'm not even sure how anyone thought there was talk there," wrote Whedon. "So let's put that to bed and smother it with a pillow."
