ROTTEN TOMATOES: "Serenity" Star Hears Sequel "Noise"

"Serenity" Star Hears Sequel "Noise"

by Scott Weinberg | February 14, 2006

Nathan Fillion (aka Firefly Capt. Malcolm Reynolds) has signed on to star in Universal's upcoming sequel to "White Noise," and he'll be co-starring with another small-screen sci-fi star: "Battlestar Galactica's" Katee Sackhoff.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, ""White Noise 2: The Light" has attracted two space stars into its orbit. Nathan Fillion, who starred in Joss Whedon's cult sci-fi series "Firefly" and subsequent movie "Serenity," is set to star in the horror movie while Katee Sackhoff, who plays "Starbuck" in the acclaimed "Battlestar Galactica" TV series, is in negotiations to topline with him. Patrick Lussier is directing. In the sequel to the 2005 hit, a man's family is murdered, but he is brought back from the brink of death. The man realizes he has changed and can now identify those among the living who are about to die. When he tries to save people from their fate, he discovers there is a price to paid for interfering with the natural order. Matt Venne wrote the script."

Nathan you are far too good for this.

But... I guess you have to make money somehow. I'll probably end up seeing it, just to support Nathan.

[b]White Noise[/b] wasn't that great, but I like Nathan and will see this sequel, most likely on DVD.

White noise was a real good comeback for micheal keaton, but a sequel. God knows lf lt will leave off from where lt ended or start over with someone new and just start a whole new story. if original star from before doesn't return lts already dead in the water

Wasn't White Noise something of a flop? I see its box office take was a bit under $56 millio, but perhaps that is enough to warrant making a follow-up. Just doesn't seem very impressive. Then again, I guess it all depends on what the film itself cost.

Omg..White Noise was in my opinion the WORST movie of 2005, I was so mad I wanted a refund, how can they make a sequel to something so terrible?

Easy - you make the first one number one in the box office for a week.

Expect "When A Stranger Calls 2" and "Big Momma's House 3" next year.

What career? His bigest hit was Serenity. He's in Slither too, which should be good for him, but will probably not get him the supporting role in the next Harrison Ford movie. The other things he's done have been made for SciFi movies and such, and you know what those are like.

I think, based on how the movie is described, that it could stand on its own. It sounds more like a cross between Sixth Sense and Final Destination anyway. The Sequel stuff should just be scrapped, and it should be given its own title.
