To clear 3 things up;

- Re this dashing the possibility of bringing Firefly back to TV. Fact: Fox (the TV station) own Firefly's rights for TV for 10 years. Universal now own the movie rights only. Firefly will not be returning to TV, regardless. No, really. Live with it.

- UK release date - I am speaking to UIP (they own the Europe rights for Serenity) re this. I don't want to say too much, but we may see Serenity open here months before the US.

- Re the cast comments - I've posted comments from Adam in the 'Mr Baldwin' topic on this forum. He's pleased about the move.

Kevin I love your work RE: talking to UIP. I shall temporarily take back my bitter/chip on my shoulder words about UK release dates and check up on the boards about any further developments

I like the way you think! Yes, those posters and flyers with the April date on them will become incredibly sought after collector items in the future. 'cause Firefly/Serenity is going to become crazy successful and all those items from the "early days" will be considered a valuable part of history.

Anyway, with the movie release date now set for end of September, Dragon*Con is going to be HOT HOT HOT! As the excitement builds and we get to gather even more fans eager to buy tickets! YAY!

Now you're talking 11th!

Just think how much those Adam posters from Dragon Con are going to fetch on Ebay now!

After reading Adam's post at the OB about talking to Joss and all, I am feeling really good about this delay. The more time Joss has to do all of the little things he wants to the BDM the better.

Dragon Con is promising to be the sci fi convention of the year for 2005. With the BDM in just a few short weeks after the con, I am almost certain we will be seeing most of the BDHs, and dare I say Joss himself. How shiny would that be?

Of course w/ the Browncoat Ball being held at DC, I think the Browncoat turn out next year will easily be double what we saw this year.

I can't wait!

No, sweetie, this is just disappointing. Or just Hollywood studio business.

And not to be the PC-police or anything, but can we not use homophobic terms in a perjorative sense? This site works hard to be inclusive, so let's not be hurtful, alienating and bigotted when we're trying to console one another over a disappointment that affects us all.

I'm sure you didn't mean to be offensive, dear, and I don't mean any of this as an attack, just a friendly little heads' up.

WHAT??!!!
NO!!!!!
HEY So long as we get our Firefly fix I don't care
but still
it just reminds me of how Fox did our beloved Firefly series wrong with delayed airings I remember when they were airing it in 2 weeks intervals for 2 episodes - those Fox executives NIMRODS!!!
Now do we blame Universal
*sighs*
but as I was verbating
So long as we get our Firefly movie....
and they don't keep pushing back

* starts to cry incessantly and throw things *

This sucks. I hate waiting and its not like we have an angel season to look forward too cause that was cancelled too. There's no new Joss television shows because he isn't working with tv anymore. I am now very sad but I know it is worth the wait. But like I said before I hate waiting.

I was counting the days until April to see what happens to the crew and now I have go through five more months of wondering how the plot developments from the series turn out!

All that I have to say is
