I finally got to watch Firefly (and own the DVDs) as of this weekend. So I am rather new to the fandom. I'd like to hear the major news but I don't wanna go mucking about the old messages.

Namely I want to know about Serenity...

Will it be the Pilot episode rehashed for film? Does it have the entire original cast? Is the talk true that if it is a success Firefly may be revitalized (under a different name perhaps)? What about the whispers I heard of it being picked up by the Sci Fi Channel to play with BSG on Saturdays?

thanks all

Hi, and welcome.

The movie Serenity will be out Sept 30. It will have the entire original cast. It will occur some time after the last episode (I've heard 6 months after Objects in Space) and is NOT a re-hash. More movies could happen, but a return to TV is doubtful.

I know nothing about the SF channel.

Hope that helps.

Hello and thanks its good to be here

Wow thanks for all the data. *nods* okay that's all wonderful news to hear. I was worried it would be a rehash. Despite the fact it would draw in fans I would love to see new stories. Hmm wonder what happened in those six months. Probably a lot though you never know. Well I kinda figured TV would be doubtful but I'll hope for it anyway. Firefly seems tailor made for good TV. Still I wouldn't mind more movies. Lets see what happens.

as for sci-fi... yeah I kinda figured it was too good to be true (have to admit that's a built in fan base right there) oh well.

thanks again

There have been purely speculative rumblings that since 'Versal owns SciFi, they should rerun Firefly this summer prior to the movie coming out to help build the fan base. Nothing even remotely official has been said, and there has been no hint that it might return to television as a series again after the movie. In fact, Joss shut down Mutant Enemy which is a pretty good sign that he's done with television.

Edited to add-

Welcome! There will be three comics out this summer starting in July that will cover the 6 months between Objects in Space (the last episode on the DVDs) and Serenity. :)

Each of the three comic books will have three different covers available so that all 9 main characters get their own cover.

I agree. I'm excited for the movie(s), comics, games etc. But TV's where it belongs. :(

I would love to see this run in the UK on E4 (even though I don't have digital) or T4 Sunday.
The best way to publicise this film would be through the designs and fashion in it. That sort of cowboy/chinese twist would take off quite well considering in the UK cowboy look/ethnic look is very big for summer. If there was a Serenity autumn collection from someone like Topshop then people would wonder what the film was about.

I can see UK Cosmo picking up a Sean Maher "Hot New Looking Lad" in their September issue if we are lucky. I reckon that if all the ladies write and demand a picture printed of him with no shirt then we could be in luck.

Well Mutant Enemy could be restarted. Thats not a huge problem in itself. Its the sheer inertia of the thing thats the problem.

Huh you know I wonder if this is all politics then. i didnt realize sci fi universal fox and joss were connected (I knew NBC and SciFi were). If they execs were smart I would think they would plae Joss into sicfi give hima ncie pay check and leave him be. But then what do I know I like the remake of battlestar galactica

Stil you never know it could still pop up there... maybe...*crosses fingers*

Thanks for the heads up I'll buy those things as quickly as I can. (I want a Kaylee cover, a River cover and a Mal Cover...) nice to have them do this I think it will really help and will wet the appetite of a few more geeks *yay!*

Welcome aboard!
