This is nothing more than speculation on my part, but considering the angle they were working on to pitch to Sci-Fi network, it wouldn't surprise me if they weren't looking into doing a movie or mini-series instead of a full-blown series.
I wonder if between ME, 20th Television Fox (the production house, not the broadcast network), and the Kazui's, if they can afford to produce one of those on Spec... they already have the sets built...

Trained gorillas. Workable prototype jetpacks, and chicks, chicks, chicks. I know that's the action I signed on for.

I agree. My best guess would be a couple of direct to DVD movies. My guess is thet would be fairly cheap to produce (sets/costumes/casting/etc already done. Joss/Tim probably have plenty of ideas for the show that could be ported to a movie. Could film two at once to save costs. Joss could produce and Tim could direct, and jointly write it. I bet they'd work pretty cheap, profit sharing kinda thing. I doybt most of the cast would be paid that much for a movie. Etc, etc).
Hopefully sales from a movie or two and a direct to DVD set will spark enough interest in the series...

Okay. I'm gonna scram. Victor, really enjoyed your article, by the way. Have you published yet?
Also wanted to let everyone here know that Firefly is not dead. Not yet. Joss and us'ns are working on a new angle, the details of which I cannot get into just yet. Also, I'm finishing editing my last episode. I think it's gonna be good. And "Trash" is lots of fun and we're finishing "Heart Of Gold." So some day, at the very least, ya'll get for certain three more hours of us.
Just spreadin' the good world.

The difference betwwen sports fans and sci-fi fans is that sci-fi fans have never trashed a train, booed Canada, or torn a man apart limb from limb.

I'm confused. I thought the 3 unaired episodes were "in the can". Are these 3 more, or are they just tweaking the ones that they had?
