Franchise Continuation Quotes

We'll never make Firefly again, because that was a thing that existed and is now gone. And Serenity isn't Firefly, and whatever comes next won't be, either. But I would love to tell more stories of this universe and to hang out with these people on and off for the rest of my career.

The idea itself, the notion of what the next Tron could be, is exciting enough that it would be worth going back to do it.

I'm one of the lucky directors that pretty much every movie I've done has started a franchise. But I never think this way. I think that's the way you break it, if you go, 'then at the end, at the end we'll see you later.' I was forced to do it in 'Clash of the Titans.'

If Clark Gable had a Facebook page, there would have been a 'Gone with the Wind 2.'
