While I would be overjoyed were this true, somehow I think Yahoo News has jumped the gun. Or perhaps their definition of 'production' differs.

You could say the movie is 'in production' from the standpoint that a script is written and they are trying to get a deal finialized. This we all know.
However what we are looking for is word that the movie has indeed been greenlit and is moving ahead.

Personally, I think Yahoo News jumped to conclusions here.

That, and I am sure if the movie does get the 'go ahead', I am willing to bet a large sum of money that Joss (or someone from ME) will let us know within minutes of the announcement.

Here's hoping...

well we know from comments made by joss himself that the script isn't finished to his liking yet..so do i think this news is a bit premature? yuuuup

as for family guy, you've jumped the gun and mis-read the news article. (edit: nope it was me who mis-read i do apoligise..but i think they've got it wrong anyway)

As is known now, Family guy is back in production with a new set of episodes set to appear at the end of 2004, thanks to it's huge sucess on dvd, not just in the us but abroad also.

did anyone ever see "The Ben Stiller Show"? I didn't even realize the DVDs were available. It was brilliant and hilarious -- another unjust cancellation.

Give it a shot if you can. :)

Looking at the quote carefully...

Quote:
A "Firefly" film, written by Whedon, is currently in production for Fox and Universal Pictures.

...it appears to me that the author Jill Kipnis was making a broad statement and didn't check her facts. As far as we have been told, Fox has given Universal full autonomy over the film and are not involved in the movie project. I wouldn't put much stock in this passing and seemingly inaccurate statement. Joss will let us know when filming is to begin (which is the only event which leads to a high probablity of a theatrical release).

Yes, I believe that this article, sadly, is going off of incomplete facts. Seems that it's happened a lot with news on this project.

When 'in production' is replaced with 'filming' to describe the project, THEN I'll get excited. Not before then.

Who is this Jill kinpiss?

Someone privy to important information regarding Firefly?

Or a reporter making up the news?

I agree that the author of the article seems not to have confirmed their facts. The last word from Joss was that the script is done and in Universal's hands. I have not seen or heard any official word of the movie being in production yet.

I loved the Ben Stiller Show when it was on the air. Yet another show killed off by Fox.
