We'll know in due time what is what. Until then I do what I've been doing ever since I fell in love with the 'verse. I recruit, spread the love ( cuz people need to know) and I wait here amongst my family. Joss or Nathan will tell us when something happens. And such a shout will go up in the ranks of the Browncoats... I can hear it now. I'm realistic, I'm not going to get my hopes up falsely, but I'm not gonna not hope either.
So here I am.....following my Cap'n's orders....

Well, there are now two less cast members whose salaries have to be paid. And maybe they could find ways to cut corners when needed. The reason Firefly was as expensive as it was is because that's the budget Fox allocated to the show. I'm sure Joss could work with a slightly smaller budget if need be.

Is it news? Not so much. At best this is rumor.
Don't get me wrong, no one here, or anywhere else for that matter, wants to see Serenity fly again, but I don't want to get my hopes up.If Nathan, Summer & Gina were in the studio it could be for a number of reasons.
I think we should wait to see if there is any confirmation of this sighting & what they might have been doing there.

Obviously this isn't cause for people to start singing in the streets or anything, but if it is legitimate, I'd say a glimmer of hope is in order.
As to budget, this isn't really a new network forming per se, it's two networks merging. The WB was able to do some pretty impressive visuals with Smallville, and I expect they're going to need a new big slam-bang flagship show given how utterly Smallville has jumped the shark.
Still not near enough to declare victory, but I still say it's promising, if true. My attitude is if it's the real-deal, we can all remember where we were when we first heard rumors of rumors, and if it's not, then it'll just be another well intentioned bit that didn't amount to much.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Fox!

I just can't see this meaning much without Joss or Tim there. They could be there for any number of reasons other than Firefly though. That's what I would bet on sadly.

I don't just Kristin to be right about anything except for Lost spoilers. Joss has said again and again that Firefly the TV show is over. There may be books, maybe another comiv, another movie I wish, but not a show revival. I doubt that has changed. Hate to spoil the fun, but I would not get hopeful at all.
The validity of the rumors aside, I am tiring of people citing Joss's statements about Firefly being over as confirmation that these characters, creators, and 'verse will never return to TV.
Firefly was a creative endeavor. What distinguishes it from Serenity movies, comics, books, whatever, is not simply it's television format. Each project has its own thematic purpose, its own crafting, its own 'mission statement' of what it's about and what it needs to accomplish. Listen to Joss's comments on the DVD set; he accomplished his goal for Firefly from the very first shot.
Firefly was not just Mal & Co. on TV, and the end of Firefly is not the end of Mal & Co. on TV. Firefly's loss will always be mourned, regardless of what may come in the future. What we need to take from Joss's words is not that there is no hope for a future on TV, but rather that we should simply not expect any future incarnations to be Firefly.
*ahem*
As for the rumor in question... Any individual rumor is meaningless - it is the weight of many credible ones over time that present a picture with some clarity. I personally hope this one adds to the pile of more-of-this-'verse-on-TV.
The future will tell...

I was trying to clarify (obviously not very well) that there is a difference between the new CW (old UPN) offices for the broadcast network and Paramount Studios which is an entirely separate entity.
If Firefly/Serenity was to be brought back to life I am sure it would be produced by either 20th or Universal and possibly sold to CW for broadcast. Paramount is not in the picture here (at least in the rumor mill of my mind).

Seriously, I've found Kristen to be a good and well-informed source in the past (though I'm no expert).
Also, I'm not buying the theory that Nathan, Summer, and Gina were there trying out for, say, a musical version of Death of a Salesman. (Long overdue!)
On the shiny side, it's so nice to know that our BDHs walk out of buildings together, presumably laughing and chatting. So much better that way!

Whew... had to come back over here after reading about this same subject over at Whedonesque...
Read some of the comments and Gossi(who runs the replacement for the Browncoat Forum) is so negative about a return of Firefly that it made me sad 
and I had to come back over here where at least we haven't given hope up entirely.
I'm with you, I'm glad our BDH's like each other and seem on every occasion that we hear of them to be enjoying each other's company.
And gorramnit I'm not giving up hope that Serenity will fly again.

I am getting a little sick of the "Browncoats" who are so bitter and negative that the only contributions they can make are, "Don't believe this!" or "This guy is a con artist! Don't fall for any of it!"
All I can say is that WE are not morons. We take each rumor with a grain of salt until it becomes fact...or is discredited.
Furthermore...don't tell me what to believe. Browncoats by definition are not fond of overbearing authority figures.
With that bit of unpleasantness aside, true or not this information makes my day. Stay shiny people!
We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back.
