Yes...............I would.
Becaue I know Joss would make it worth it.

Joss knows what he is doing. He originally planned for the show to run a number of years and had all sorts of plans for the characters I'm sure. And as for them aging... well, for one thing, if this is the way Nathan is going to age, then I'm still more than ok. And Joss must have known the characters would age and change.
So....

Yes, oh, yes I'd watch it.

Is it so hard to write "SPOILERS" before writing spoilers? The movie hasn't reached most of Europe yet and you just spoiled big time for me :(

Am I the only one here who read the article and thought that if they're prepared to pay $5m for The Skeleton Key, Serenity should be worth $8-10m?

I can't believe I am reading these threads. I can't believe I registered on this site. Why did I turn into such a geek??? I used to be somewhat normal. Why am I following the box office returns??? Is there a 12 step program for Firefly/Serenity addiction???

I KNEW IT! I just posted the following on another thread before I saw this one... Here's all the behind of the scenes info (of sorts since I'm guessing, but look at all the connections :) )...

Here are two scenarios. Universal’s television division (Universal Television) is shopping around for gems for next year’s line-up. A few of the Execs probably took note of Firefly and contacted Fox with an offer to purchase the brand. If Fox agreed obviously Universal Television would promptly ask Whedon and cast to pick where they left off and begin filming Season two (don't be surprized if UT sells the show to NBC since that network is taking a rating's hit). However if Fox feels the film and DVD sales are strong enough they might just resurrect the series and bring back Whedon and cast. As a fallback plan if Universal doesn't own the franchise by next year they hope the series continued booming DVD sales will help the film's DVD sales when it comes out next year.

I couldn't think of a third scenario because most film studios won't greenlight a project unless it has huge ROI. If either scenario occurs the Fans win. So start cheering because somethings a-brewing!

Of course, I'm pretty sure Joss expressed disgust at the thought of working with FOX again...

Who'd want to after they killed off your beautiful baby?

I agree - I used to be a normal mother and businesswoman until I got hooked by my teeenage son. Now the latest box office figures are the first thing I check each morning.

any news will do

MAN ATTACKED BY SWARM OF ANGRY FIREFLIES

woah, do you think they attacked him to support a new series? Joss probably controls the insect world and this is his way of trying to tell us.
