SAG would not like that. We wouldn't want to get Joss in trouble, do we? So if anyone gets hired, he'll just have to take the check from Universal for working in the Firefly Movie.

I brought up the movie project rather slyly, and this is what she said:
1. Definitely in the works.
2. First film meeting was last week.
3. Working title is "Serenity." ("That's the name of the ship," she said.) :-)
4. They are "very excited to be working with Joss Whedon."
I'm really trying not to get to excited about this (Joss Whedon's luck of late has not been brilliant) but what does this mean? 'Definitely in the works', does this mean everythings been sorted out and pre-production is starting or is there still legal stuff to get though? Also why call it 'Serenity', I hope they come up with a new title.

I have absolutely no inside information to add on the whole question of whether or not the movie will get made. What I will say is that many, many movies are discussed, scripts are written, actors and directors are lined up, and pre-production even begins before they are cancelled. I am encouraged by what we hear, but I still remain a skeptic. Many movies get tied up in the internal politics of the studios, and the reasons why any film could be green-lighted or cancelled are murky.
A part of me is amazed that the movie idea has came this far. Not because it wouldn't make a good movie, but because of all the difficulties involved. On the day I sit in a darkened theatre and see Serenity flying across the screen you'll hear me renounce atheism with a joyous "hallelujah", because miracles can happen.
Which reminds me of the story that after the show was cancelled Alan Tudyk (I think) gave Joss the big red button used in "Out of Gas", telling him to hit it when his miracle arrives. Perhaps us browncoats should all attach big red buttons to the side of our computers...

Also why call it 'Serenity', I hope they come up with a new title.
No power in the 'verse can stop me.

This is a philosophical question that we happen to disagree on.
Go on, lay the good news on me. I can take it. I'm doing my monkey dance right now.

Exactly right, SerenityNow. That's one folks'll just have to agree to disagree on...
Me too!

A fine idea. It would give me great pleasure to slap that button. Only I think I'll put one *beside* my computer. Helps to keep my Mac in working order so I can celebrate in the virtual world.
And Act 2: I will immediately send out the news via my tiny little email list of FF fans who don't keep up with stuff like I do. Smile.
