I was thinking.. I wonder if universal (who has movie rights for Serenity) could be coaxed into making heaps of Firefly(Serenity) movies that go straight to DVD? Sort of like reviving the series by bypassing Fox's cuckhold on the show.
The main set is unchanging(Serenity herself) so not much money is needed each time for building sets. Surely they could make lots of movies relatively cheaply and make a killing on DVD sales?
Sound feasible?
Someone cleverer than me should follow this up with Universal and Joss!

Not one comment.. Has everyone given up all hope?
Or do I smell?

It's definitely the smell ... no not really, more like a delicate aroma ...
Not sure what I think about it, hence no comment ... My fear would be that straight to DVD movies usually suck rather significantly ...

It's not that the movie itself would suck... it probaby wouldn't get as much publicity, it would be difficult to rope in new viewers since someone would have to buy the movie every time they wanted to just check it out, and it would also get fairly expensive for us poorer fans that are trying not to stoop to downloading Firefly online.
I think the only way for survival is to advertise better. I wouldn't heve even known Firefly exhisted if my friends hadn't shoved it down my throat.
Fox did a hirrble job of advertisement, and truthfully no ono who doesn't already know about Firefly watches Sci-Fi. The movie was a good start, though even that wasn't advertised very well.
Someone needs to do something like toss fliers everywhere, or give out free posters everywhere... or sell cheap novelty lunchboxes to grade schoolers.
Wow... grammar/spelling bad. Time to sleep.

Oh? One word...Slither. Admittedly haven't seen it, but the trailer was enough to make me decide I'll not be wasting 2 hours of life that I'll never get back!
"Something's wrong with me...!" Wow...that's that incomparable Whedon dialogue we all know and love!
Peace, love, and soul...

Joss Whedon has nothing to do with Slither - it was written and directed by James Gunn. The only connection to Joss is that Nathan Fillion happens to be in it.

That's an awesome idea. We so should make cheap novelty lunchboxes.
