There won't be Firefly on TV again. Joss wants to make movies. And there is no Firefly without Joss.

However, there are going to be Big Damn Movie Stars.

Some of you will moan and groan but, that is reality. Joss deserves to have his visions on the Big Screen and we will have to be satisfied with other mutant enemy writers on...

Lost (Fury)
Alias (Drew Goddard and more)
Point Pleasant (Marti Noxon)
The Inside (Southland) (TIM MINEAR and Jane Espenson)

etc etc.

Get over it. (said in a nice way)

At this point, no, there is no plan for a return to television Bsport. It has something to do w/ Fox (read "The Devil") and the contract they have on Firefly. Apparently there is some stipulation about the show not being released to return to tv in any form for a number of years. We have heard everything from 5 to 10 years.

I like to be of the mind that nothing is impossible. In Hollywood if there is money and rating to be had, there is always lawyers and contract renegotiating to make things happen.

If the movie is a success, a big success, who can say what may or may not happen. We know there will be at least two more movies, and it has been reported that there are novels in the works, so anything is possible.

Keep your fingers crossed, and go see the BDM as many times as you can. Take friends and family. Convert friends and family into Browncoats w/ the DVD set so they pass the word along. The more people we get into seats in theatres, the better our chances of a bright future.

Keep Flyin'!

You nailed it Browncoat1! - never ever say never! There are too many real world examples of survival (tv included) to say it will never return to tvland. Look at how far it has come since ... the dark days...

I'd settle for the rest of season one myself.

With other genre shows, including the Buffyversers, seasons come in at 22 odd episodes.

Just imagine though, if it arose there were seven rough cuts out there of the remaining episodes. What would you do to nab them?

Just because the Blue Sun story line is evidently not going to be pursued in 'Serenity' doesn't mean that it will never be covered...
I mean what do you think the 2nd & 3rd movie will cover?
Joss has to deal with the most pressing story lines first,
but then he will continue to build to the more oppressive ones...the corporate/government conspiracy underlying the Alliance.

JMPO of course

I'm gonna say it again--

Keep in mind.

Okay, I said it, so here's the rest:

Keep in mind that, if the contract is 10 years for no TV return, and the BDM is due out in September 2005... three months later, it will have been three full years since thelast airing of Firefly. Then we have two more movies, which, if Joss decides to stay the fine creator he is, will likely be 2-3 years apart.

So, "Serenity" in 9/2005.
"Serenity II: An Early Return" in 10/2008.
"Serenity III: Last Man Standing" in 9/2011.

Then, Fall of 2012, (the ten year anniversary):
"Firefly: The Same Generation Only Ten Years Older," check your local listings for details.

Consider:
--there's three years between crappy Star Wars prequels
--three years between the two X-Men flicks
--FOUR years between the Matrix and its first crappy sequel (and about 5 months between that one and the third disappointment)
--the Star Trek flicks had a bunch of years between them, sometimes one, sometimes four

So, we're really not so bad off, if the contract is the case.

Dont' get me wrong, I'd LOVE to see Firefly back on the air this summer, with Season Two debuting a month after Serenity's DVD release in January 2006. But I don't think it'll be so awful.

I thought Fillian said that Joss may be thinking of returning to television with Firefly if the movies do well. Can't remember the exact article, but, I believe it was at http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire

Anti-Christian? I don't recall that the series was anti-Christian? Mal had turned hsi back on his belief in God, but that is hardley anti-Christian.

I really doubt the movies will be filmed 2, or 3 years apart. Serenity 2, and 3 will probably filmed together like the Matrix sequels. And if Universal is smart, they wont make us wait 3 whole years between their release. 2008, and 2009 sounds good. It would be great if Universal recognizes that sooner is better as far as release schedules go. It's bad enough we have to wait until September for the first one.
Also, I don't think the return to televison is as taboo as some may believe. In a recent interview Joss said he would love to make a return to tv. The only negative he's ever spoken of is about Fox, not the tv fomat. I believe the Fox network contract thing only stipulates that the Firefly name not be used. Serenity is a whole different name. And if Fox does have some weird God-like lock prohibiting the actors working together on another show, Universal, or Joss can go all breach of contract, and pay the fine. Minor, annoying contracts, can't stop brilliant show. Once again, Universal owns the Sci-Fi Network. I am almost certain one day we will see Serenity season 1.
