I love the idea of viewers having direct creative input into what's produced. Count me in. I'd invest up to $100 to see seed this revolutionary process.

How many times have I sat in front of the box, morosely channel surfing, thinking, why is it so hard for something good to get made and then stay on? (Jake 2.0, the only other decent show is getting cancelled as well).

It's obvious from you guys and this awesome firefly fans website that people are compelled by a project that has creativity, intelligence, love and passion.

Let's kick some corrupt butt and circumvent that grey, undead zone in the tv/movie production food chain. Forget vampires and demons, folks, they look like you and me (except with better exfoliation) and drive around in Porches and wear Prada and live in Brentwood.

I think this a great idea I could definetely spend $100-200. I also think if there was a finished product to show the networks theres a good chance someone would pick it up. The only problem is finding someone or a small group of people responsible and knowlegable to give it ago and set it up. Also if it was to be a sucess I think it would attract a fair bit of media attention which could help.

Would the board of directors get final script approval?

Unlikely...but I'd pony up a good $500 - if I have to take out a damn loan, I'll do it. I could supply more than that, with the help of the firefly-fans I've 'sired'.

Yeah, if anyone ever has a way that me or any or my money can help this show in any way...lemme know.

I wouldn't want any direct fan involvment in the Firefly scripts. Joss gave us a project that we all liked well enough to be here for. Why not trust him to continue to do so?

In any case, Joss has said that he only wants to do Firefly if he retains complete executive and creative control.

I'd absolutely contribute $100 or more and know several others who would as well. The problem is getting this off the ground. What we really need are people who will invest time and effort on the legwork to investigate and set it up. I wish I could volunteer but I wouldn't know what I was doing.

There’s also the problem with whom ever has the rights to Firefly. If it's Fox, I think this idea is as good as dead.

If it's not, maybe we can talk to whoever it is, maybe work out a deal. Not only is there the cost of building the sets, but getting the actors back together. I believe Adam is set to have a role on the new Stargate TV series, and Nat has a picture series deal with NBC I believe. Some of the others have contracts also.

Filming in Canada would be a must, if not somewhere cheaper like Mexico. Fox has a Massive set down in Mexico where they filmed Titanic. Labor is also cheaper =-)

ALOT of things change in a year, which is what it would take to get enough money together to do this(IF we REALLY TRIED), then after we have the money, and they saw we serious,(assuming we get the rights to do it) Joss would have to find time in his schedule to write up a story. Getting together the cast might be hard for the above stated reason, but I do believe they all want to do more with Firefly. It being a fan funded project, maybe they would all film at the union minimum cost for a project of this type. who knows?

I'm just tossing out random thoughts here, so please jump in.

I do think a direct to DVD series would work. I kow several people who would sign up for it.

I'm in for a couple hundred $.
Of course, since I'm Canadian, $100 USD works out to be about $1000 CAD.

Oh, what the heck? Firefly is worth it!

I don't ask for much - just Firefly back on the air once a week.... oh, and maybe world peace.
