Hi. I have loved this story since it first aired and was abruptly cancelled. I was estactic when I saw the sci-fi promo's for it.

One question of mine still has no awnser.

After the movie are there plans to re-start the tv series? Or are they just using the movie to complete the story that was left hanging open.

Sci-fi has been awesome of late for injecting life into series that other networks want to end. (Andromeda, Stargate)

Jaws, Fox owns all the Television rights and they have no intention of going back into production with it.
Universal only bought the movie rights and I believe they plan sequels if this first movie does well enough (it doesn't have to do 'Star Wars' good, because the budget wasn't that huge).

Of course money, and the prospect of making more money, can alter contracts. Fox and Universal could easily work out a deal for bringing the show back in some form if they are motivated by huge fan response (my personal dream).

Joss has a lot of stories to tell, I won't mind if they have to be told in comic book form, but I would rather have Television (it is more satisfying for an impatient fan like me who hates to wait years for the next BDM).

All the actors' contracts are for three movies. When Serenity is a success, Universal will greenlight the next two movies and they will be created (questions of when they'll be filmed, etc. aren't being answered until we know such films will exist).

Every public statement from Joss has indicated he has no desire to go back to television at this point, meaning that seeing new TV episodes of Firefly is very unlikely.

20th Century Fox, that is. FOX (the network) has no rights to Firefly; any rights they purchased from 20th Century Fox expired when they (FOX) cancelled the series.

nobody really knows lol. We just have to keep our hopes up, and keep making noise, so people know about us, and our belief in the story. :)

All I'll say is that after reading Serenity issues 1 & 2, Joss NEEDS to keep this going in comic form, no matter what else transpires.
Heck, what I would love to see is a series that starts with the Serenity Pilot, tells the stories through Objects in Space, and then continues with the stories Joss would have told had the show not ended. His way, by his rules.

I just got Andromeda season 4 and started *trying* to watch it and I'd say your reviews are spot-on.

I was so hopeful too...
As far as Firefly back on tv? How about Firefly on DVD? Done! A "Firefly" movie? From a cancelled show? Are you nuts?! It CAN'T happen! Hell yeah done! But Fox owns the rights and so it will never, ever be back on TV... come on! None of the above could happen but they did! Keep the faith!
Firefly is great as a comic but WE ALL KNOW it belongs/is best served on the toobage.
