"You know, I've talked to other people who have created many more successful shows than I have and they've gone through the same thing," Whedon says. "I think in my case it was particularly egregious. I think I was basically a victim of what I like to call 'dumb people' -- people who are never going to trust anything except what they already know."

How true. Dumb is putting it so nicely.

Frankly I am not sure if this "FOX-bashing" is such a wise idea anymore. Sure it's fun, but according to recent discussions on FFF.net FOX is still able to play the party-pooper.

How's that CBY? I know they still have TV rights? They no longer have the movie rights do they? Just curious.

"Your worst imaginings of what a group of executives could be is basically what was happening at the time there," Whedon says. He was told bluntly that another show, Fastlane, was "the golden boy" of the studio.

Ummm, Fastlane??? Wha????

I looked this up in IMDB and I don't even remember anything about it. Some "golden boy" that turned out to be.

I remember Fastlane vaguely. I never watched it but it looked like it was trying to be the fast and the furious for TV...

I think FOX are going to hold the rights to ransom as soon as the dvd sales figures come in anyway.
If they really have the power (see the 'money talk' thread, hasn't been confirmed what power they may actually have, but...)to prevent another series being made (which is, I think, what the majority of the fans want) they are going to hold out for everything they can get, so Joss may as well get the knives in now - and good luck to him in his efforts.

The hope is that another company sees the sales as incentive enough to bitch-slap fox into giving em up.

But that wasn't what I wanted to say - first anyway.

Quote:

After sales of the Firefly DVD exploded among his fans -- the people who have adopted the name Browncoats as a homage to the series -- Whedon eventually got it revived as a movie

Thats nice, someone referring to the Browncoats as 'people' and people who did good, and not going for the 'ravening obsessives' angle as so many others have done.

Me likes.

Me in a 'bad day at work' induced sour mood, feel free to ignore at your discretion.

Whedon still has faith. Just as the DVD sales for Firefly gave Serenity a life in the first place, the DVD sales for Serenity are expected to push it into profit.

"I think DVD will be a good home for it. I think its momentum will actually start now."

Warms the heart.

Hold the line, Browncoats!
