There have been several threads about this project over the last few days, Both here and on the other sites. THEY ARE NOT FLATTERING!

They most probably will do more harm than good! BE VERY CAREFUL!!

The Browncoat doth protest too much, I say. We are united on the front that Firefly/Serenity should come back, and I say that this project has my full support, simply because it can bring back this amazing show.

Stegosaurus: Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... "This Land."
Allosaurus: I think we should call it "your grave!"
Stegosaurus: Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Allosaurus: Har har har! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die!
Stegosaurus: Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

As long as you don't provide any personal information or contribute any money, then it should be okay.

Realistically, though, I don't think the information they collect will be useful in helping them obtain the rights. Both FOX and Universal already have statistics about the Firefly/Serenity fanbase from data they've collected through television ratings, DVD sales, and box office receipts. Additionally, the major studios also have data from their other productions to draw from. It's safe to say that in terms of statistics, there's not much the independent production company can tell the studios that they don't already know.

Hate to say this, but another $40 million dollars and some spare change is probably the only way to get Firefly or Serenity back in the air at the moment.

I'm confused. When did gossi back this project? Did I miss something? I think you had better fact check that statement.

Meanwhile, as always, I'll be the one to make sure people have access to the long and ardous discussions that rained down throughout this past weekend about this entire thing, so they can make up their own minds. So, links follow.

No Joss, no Firefly. It's as simple as that. When I hear that Joss is involved, I'll gladly climb--no, leap--on board. It's Joss's vision which makes this 'verse worth visiting, IMHO.

I agree with the "No Joss, No Deal" stipulation that others have mentioned but I feel that this project is worth signing up for. His questions aren't incredibly personal (they are also optional, it's not like you have to fill in all the blanks as far as I know), he isn't asking for money, he has some backing from fans, and his organization seems legit. I'm not entirely sure he's taking the right direction but I'm not omniscient and he seems willing to take action (and potentially beneficial action at that). I say sign up, and damn the torpedoes.

Nice idea and I filled in a profile, because I think it will help relaunch the series either directly or indirectly. There is definitely money to be made from relaunching the series.

However, I believe that the Sci-Fi channel is our best option for bringing back the series. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if tentative negotiations between Joss and Sci-Fi for a potential mini-series to relaunch the series have already begun.

Also another option may have just presented it self in the form of the CW Network, which is looking for some new shows on top of the shows they will be getting from The WB and UPN. A Serenity series along side shows like Smallville and Veronica Mars makes all kinds of sense to me.
