I think that the most interesting part about all this is learning more and more about the show as days go by.
For instance, since the website was posted yesterday, 4 new images depicting the production process have been put up, several blogs from the cast and crew have been added, and a nifty CG pic of the Samsara in flight has appeared.
What's more, all this is being done by fans and funding is coming out of their own pockets.
Hopefully, these Firefly/Serenity fanfilms will catch on and soon everyone will be making them. Then we can all reminisce about the good-ol'-days of 'Mosquito', 'Waiting for Serenity', and 'Into the Black'.

Just thought I would chime in, seeing as how I'm the producer of this here thing.
First off, it is being done in "episode" format. It will be downloadable off of the net when we actually get it done. No t.v. stations involved.
Secondly, we have sooooo much more content to post up on the website, it is just a matter of getting it done. We start filming on Saturday, so we're kinda swamped at the moment.
But yeah, we're funding this all with money from our own pockets. Or rather the money we've pulled up from underneath the couch cushions.
I realize a lot of expanded universe stuff sucks. But we have specifically made an effort to NOT suck. I know there will be people against the whole idea - but hey, we're not crossing over into canon here. We're doing this cause we thought it would be a fun project. Plus, it gives us a chance to run around with guns and make lewd comments in Chinese.

Sounds like fun. Keep us posted if you can.

I would hope that would be the case. :p
Good luck with your production, pop in every once in a while to let us know how it's going.

If Star Wars has the "expanded universe" or "EU", will this be our "expanded 'verse" or "EV"? 
Who knows, maybe some of this fan-made stuff will end up in a Serenity sequel one day.

Best of luck to you guys.
Be glad the Browncoats are hungry for more content. A few months back, someone posted info about a Star Wars fan-film they were making, which he was in negotioations with Adam Baldwin to do a guest-shot in, and the poor guy was torn apart on these boards.
