My guess is the series is officially dead since
Nathan Fillion just signed a 6-figure contract with NBC.

Well, I see on IMDB that Adam Baldwin has a few movies and stuff in the works. I'm sure they're all just finding work till Firefly's fate is decided. I don't see any reason why he wouldn't come back as Mal.

What ever happen to good news?

Ahh, well, it is good to see Nathan working, not that I'll ever watch, but hey, its television... you know, vast wasteland and all.

:(

Anyone got a perspective on what this actually means for his potential involvement in more Firefly? I wonder if the NBC contract is exclusive.
It seemed odd that the article mentioned his role in Firefly, but he wasn't asked, or they didn't print any comment that he might have made on that front.

I also am worrying that the news that Joss and co are 'working on a new angle' for the series might somehow fit in here. Mal was one of the strengths of the show, would it have a life without him?

NBC hasn't decided what kind of show they want to do for Nathan. I have a great idea for 'em. It's 500 years in the future, and there's this spaceship, see?

Kaylee: You know, it's funny you should mention that... ever heard of the Fox network?

LOL
I was quietly hoping it was some kind of ruse to drag Firefly along to NBC with Fillion, but I guess that is just hope beyond hope :(

I wouldn't think this would preclude his involvement in a potential movie, but it probably does mean he couldn't continue with the series. A continuation of the series isn't looking too likely at the moment, though, anyway.

I don't want a ruttin' movie... unless it brings the show back.

I know it's hard to sit in uncertainty about the fate of our favorite show, but I don't see how this proves anything. I can't see Joss doing the show without the talents of Mr. Fillion. So if Nathan were really exclusively committed to not do Firefly, we'd hear about it from Joss or Tim. We haven't. So this proves nothing as far as I'm concerned.
