So, for all we know the amount of effort currently being put into Firefly/Serenity by people who actually make shows/movies is zero, zip, nada, zilch.

I want to know what you people think the odds are that any series/miniseries/movie set in the 'verse will be greenlighted within the next five years.

Try really hard to imagine that you are betting a significant chunk of change on the outcome. What odds do you think are realistic?

If enough people respond, we can put together the unofficial line on the Firefly comeback.

I'll start us off at 40:1.

It's okay to leave them to die.

I'm 100% sure it will, as the second batch of Serenity comics are coming out next year.

I have no information on which to base my opinion, and I'm certainly no odds-maker, but I definitely feel that the chances of some Firefly/Serenity film production happening within the next five years is...

100%

Damn, and I thought I was being optimistic. But comics don't count - I assume you're talking about books, not animation? And if there is animation, let's specify live action. I'm not even talking about original cast or nothing. Nor does Joss have to be involved.

Keep it coming, though, I want to be convinced.

If not Joss, it has to be Tim Minear, or else I'm not interested. And my 100% statement refers to live-action filmed entertainment, either tv or movie, but not animation.

Hey Adamwankenobi, I was just wonderin' where you heard about this new comic series comin' out next year? I've heard rumors, but haven't seen anything factual yet. So I'm already excited, but if you could show me where they said that it'd be great!
Oh yeah, I'm about 25% sure of a movie or TV Series (it has to include Joss and our BDH's)

Always havin' a good time!

I am 75% sure that something will happen, and am keeping my optomistic levels at 100%. I'm usaully not that optomistic about anything. A large amount of this will count on other people being just as optimistic as me.

We did it before, it was impossible before. I say this means we can do this again.

Its a 1 in a million chance, and you know those always work. :)

If you play Nationstates.net check out the region Firefly.

99.99999% sure there will be a live action production- TV, film (most likely) or direct to DVD.

I base this on the fan base, the profitability and Star Trek... it happened before. It will happen again.

I say there's a 2% chance of a Firefly/Serenity sequel/series with Joss or Tim at the helm and most of the cast intact. But then again, browncoats have always been up against stiff odds. That's what makes us special. :)

The comic will be titled (appropriately, might I add) "Better Days", and will be set during the time period of the TV series. Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews will be writing the story, with Will Conrad once again doing the art. See:
