I got some really good news from Chris Buchanan (President of Mutant Enemy):
"We are getting pretty close on the movie and hopefully we'll have
some "official" news soon. It seems that the DVDs are doing really
well (e.g. better than Fox anticipated) and that there have been significant
re-orders (an unusual thing for this type of program). Of course, we
weren't that surprised but what can you do."
He also said:
"Universal seems to be willing to make the movie (crossing fingers,
touching wood, lighting candles), but we still have a few (non-creative)
hurdles to cross."
His full comments can be read at: www.fireflymovie.com/news.html

Good stuff! Also it's great Chris B passed important comments to www.fireflymovie.com. We now have a good source for FF movie info.
I am somewhat mystified, though, about the "re-doubling efforts" -- cf. your separate post -- since many fans are working their butts off to promote the Firefly world and movie. As per your example, Ain't It Cool News, TV reporter Herc there is a huge fan of the Whedon 'verse and regularly posts stuff about FF. Amazon.com has a massive review file, which is probably fanning the flames of Firefly fervour, and these boards FFF.net and the main board at Prospero are hot traffic zones.
What are we missing again?
Thnx Jeremy.

Nothing specific. I just wanted to let everybody know that time is of the essence, and now would not be a good time to slack off.

That is absolutely fantastic news Jaysedai!!! Thanks for posting it.
I especially liked this part:
"We really appreciate all of the fan efforts on the show's behalf and I am personally helping out on the DVDs to soldiers’ project. So just tell everybody and thanks for all their efforts. I read the boards daily and all of the great local input (where the DVDs are sold out, what the reviewers are saying about the set, etc.) is always helpful."
I am happy to hear that our efforts are making a difference. I really hope it is enough to get Serenity in the air again.
"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."
