2. The Firefly DVD series is currently ranked number 5 overall at Amazon.com. Those are new fans buying the collection. |Probaly converted from watching the movie.

Or (like me) buying the DVD to see what the series was about before going to see the movie, and then finding out that the TV series was better.

And here's a positive point No. 5: Firefly is now the highest-rated show on the Sci-Fi Channel.

Yea Tim, that means no one else will die right?

Fun. I hope that Serenity moving back into the top 10 keeps her in the theatre a bit longer here. The market outside of the US is doing well. I trust the Browncoats there and the intelligent folk that have never heard of Firefly or Serenity who happen to find it, like so many of our newer members here. Serenity needs to do $80 million Globally, With DVD sales included? We have nearly 1/3 of that in the US Box Office already and people are worried? I'm not arrogant enough to believe the onus is solely on us to make Universal's goal.
......losing train of thought......I think we're in good shape, that won't stop me from going to see it again though. But, I'll see it again because it's sooo good and I want to see it again, not because "I have to save it."
Big thanks to everyone on cast and crew. I can hardly wait to see what happens next.
Cheers,

This just might be the most significant statement that's been made in this entire thread.

from my experience with the industry most people do what Joss did.. Yes he probably is throwing the Firefly/Serenity project on the backburner but i think we'll see more.. Maybe no more of the show but i believe another movie..

As much as i really want to see Firefly back on the air, you can't blame him for taking other opportunities.. i mean he already knows what its like to have a hit tv series and run with it for countless seasons.. maybe he just doesnt want to do it again.. im happy for what little he did give of Firefly.. I wish there was more but such is life.. People come up with fantastic ideas and talk like its their brain child and then forget about it when something with a few more zero's behind it pops up on the radar..

All I can say is...
I didn't make it to theater today to see Serenity. I missed a day. Like most, I keep going because I love the Verse. And of course, because every ticket counts. As long as it's at the theaters... that's where I have to be. It definitely feels incomplete. But it will never be the same for me. Not one series/movie has meant this much to me. It was a straight-shot through the vain... instant addiction! I will always hold a place dear for our BDH's and Joss. And all of you. We're all one BDFamily.
Keep Flyin'!

CaptainCaspian... most people in the industry "do what Joss did" when it comes to making good scifi. They also always end up on the ash-heap of directors making forgettable B-films of the most subpar quality.

2 people come to mind when I think of this scenario. Lucas and Roddenberry.

What idiots they were. How dare them not abandon their scifi brainchild for a more practical pursuit. Think of what they could have done with their film career if they'd have only had the common sense of a bug, and abandoned that silly scifi garbage. They could have produced epic tearjerkers that touch the heart. 12 Angry Men and a Baby.

Whedon won't make their mistake. He's bigtime now.

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

you cant blame him for wanting more money.. its how things work.. but i have hope that hell come back and make more serenity films.. i mean its not a Joss project either.. he did come up with the idea but it takes more than one person to make a hit..

Just dont give up on it.. Maybe this is the end but its better to be optimistic.. The show and Movie may be B list but its still amazing just like a lot of other cult classics out there..

I won't give up hope that someday the series will be resurrected but with Joss busy on other things and the more time goes by it seems less likely it will have all the original cast and probably not all the original writers that gave it the style it had. Joss is now working on Wonder Woman and I'm glad Hollywood is finally taking his creative genius seriously. I just hope that whoever he casts in the lead role has as much serious cleavage as Linda Carter does.

Speaking as a writer myself (who is completely in awe of Joss, I am not worthy, etc.) I don't believe Joss will ever give up on his baby. A writer doesn't give up on a world and characters near and dear to their heart. Sometimes it's good to take a step back for a while and move on to something else. You let the story ferment in your head and when you come back to it, it's that much fresher and more incredible. And I'm sure that's what Joss is going to do. We're all gonna be blown away by whatever he does next.

I give to you the Seeker of Serenity, the Valkyrie Warrior, the Gourmet Cook and the Truth Scoper.
