After reading the thread,"Hi Firefly. Hello pain." and the comments that followed, someone suggested we could put up $5 per episode to get it made. Why hasn't someone contacted Joss or someone important about setting up a fund that fans could donate to. I myself would put up $100 at least and I can imagine with donations alone that we could get back on ourselves.

I would fork out five bucks per episode. Or a hundred bucks for another movie.

Is it sad that no one else has responded to this thread yet? Maybe that's your answer right there. Oh well. So much for "put up or shut up." Too many "shut ups."

I guess it would just be a logistical nightmare. I wouldn't be suprised if there were legal tangles as well. And as it stands Fox has the rights to the show and any future shows for ten years and I'm pretty sure that Joss has less than zero desire to go back to Fox. So it would be another movie.

Maybe if Wonder Woman is a huge hit he'll do another film with Universal and part of the deal would be to let him do another Serenity film afterwards.

Anyway, for the time being I'm sure I'll be buying a few more DVD sets of the series and several copies of the film to hand out as well. Presents, you know.

I think the big problem is getting it off the ground. Getting the support/donations from Firefly fans would be the easy part.

First we'd need someone to contact Mutant Enemy and find what it would cost, if it would be possible for any amount, etc. If we came to them and said, "look if we can raise (insert dollar total here) in donations to fund new episodes..." I think they'd at least hear us out.

But I wouldn't even know how to contact them. Does anyone else here know how to get in touch with the proper people?

Of course I'd be willing to chip in too, as I'm sure just about every Firefly fan on every board on the Net would.

I would be willing to put up at least $10, if not $100.

How many Firefly fans are out there, realistically? 2 million maybe? If ever single fan donated at least $10, then $20 million is half a movie right there!

I wonder how hard it would be for someone like the Sci-Fi channel to buy the rights from Fox?

I'd put down 100 also - but it seems like the dollar amount is the least problem...
The copy right that belongs to Fox, Joss's unwillingness to work with Fox and so forth are more troublesome.

I do want it to come back, soooo badly, but the more I think about it, the more unrealistic it seems... (T-T)

Why did you have to screw us, Fox, why???

Joss has said before that Firefly is for sale. If somebody wants to buy the production rights off Fox, they can. Fox never liked Firefly and they'll probably be glad to get rid of it.

I think Firefly would have a home on the SciFi channel. Farscape did very well, and Firefly is on a par if not better. I don't understand why it hasn't been done, but if it's just a money thing...

Does that mean we'd go for Sci-Fi?

So if we could raise a lot of plat, we'd go to Sci-Fi channel and ask if they could buy Firefly off of Fox.
If Sci-Fi and Fox would both agree to it, new season would be made...

"i hear lotta ifs coming out of this plan"

But I see more hope in this plan! :)

It all sounds like a shiny dreamy idea, but I think someone should contact Joss first. There's that whole thing about whether or not HE would want to do it. Then there's that whole "other commitments" thing, like Wonder Woman.

Joss said in a really recent posting that he's at peace with it all right now, which I take it to mean that he's put it out there and now it's time to move on for a bit. He mentioned how it should continue to grow (the fanbase) as the movie gets saturated into the populace on DVD etc..., so he's definitely still interested in continuing with Firefly/Serenity. But it's about timing. It would be a year and a half before he was even able to commit to something again.

But hey, it never hurts to try and get a ball rolling. Sometimes it takes awhile for things to build up steam.

Either way, Firefly/Serenity is my favorite 'verse and I'll do whatever I can to support it. I've never been a fanboy of anything, so it's weird for me to have so much attachment to this show, but as weird as it is I've already ordered me a Browncoat baseball cap and tee-shirt. Gotta get me one o' them bumper stickers next.
