I read in a different thread that Nathan is going to be in a pilot for a new TV show. Maybe this is the obstacle that was mentioned? Joss said that he wants all the original cast in the new Firefly show/movie, but that might not be possible if Nathan is not available.

I'd rather wait longer for a movie than have anyone (especially Mal) recast. I wouldn't go as far as to say it would suck, but it definitely wouldn't be the same.

I was wondering that as well, but I don't know if it will be a problem at this point. Nathan is filming a pilot, which will take a week or two at most. They won't film anything more unless the show is picked up (which, given the premise, is doubtful, IMHO). I am sure they could film the movie around his schedule at this point.

However, if the show does get picked up, and he is filming regularly, they may have to wait until his hiatus. More reason to get started as soon as possible.

Mentioning new shows as obstacles, how about Adam Baldwin possibly (or definitely) being in a new Stargate spinoff? That could put a monkey wrench into things.

I have another theory, this one regards one of the Special Effects companies.

I'm starting to get reports (unconfirmed as of yet so I won't gaurentee) That SciFi finally picked up the Battlestar Galactica remake as a serries.

If so, that would split the effect company between a movie and a serries, and I don't know how well that could be handled.

That is, assumeing the same one will be used, and I'm not trippin' and thinking of another company.

Agreed. There's some cast members who could be replaced, and it...well, it'd suck less. Like Zoe, or Wash...maybe even Jayne. Well, probably not Jayne.
But Mal? I don't know...if there's one charactor who's the same, I vote Nathon.

Don't get me wrong; if none of the original cast members are in this movie, and Serenity doesn't look the same - hell, if the movie is about a differant ship and crew all together, I'll still be excited to see this film. I just...I just love the Firefly universe.

I am pretty sure the whole cast will be back, barring deaths. Joss wants them back and so far the cast has indicated a desire to return.

Can't see any actor giving up a movie deal for a tv deal. The money, the publicity, etc.

Plus given how great the chemistry was on screen, why would anyone want a change?

Nathan is filming another pilot? Anyone have a link to an article? I know he did Alligator Point, which NBC did not pick up. Didn't know he was doing another.

Not sure about Adam and his scheduling w/ Stargate: Atlantis. The last he posted, he still was not sure what role he would get, though he did say he was doubtful it would be the lead due to his age & the writers were looking for a 20 something to head the cast.

From what the cast said at the LA Con, it seems that each of them would make time for the movie. I doubt that there would be much in the way of scheduling conflicts.

Don't know about the part that Adam Baldwin is auditioning for in SG: Atlantis, but I was shocked at his true age. I think he looks much younger than he is, though obviously not 20 something.

If he got the part I would be encouraged to watch. I watch SG-1 if I haven't seen it and I am too bored (aka unmotivated) to do anything else (like read, game, etc).
