Sure it's grim, but they all moved on to other projects before the series and the movie too. I'll never give up totally. It's what keeps me going. It's what got us a FIREFLY movie at all and BUFFY Season 8 (in comic form).

..Ya gotta choose...hope or despair...joy or sorrow...belief or resignation. I have read several 'differing' opinions on 'who owns the rights' to Firefly (the oh, so brief glimpse into what 'coulda been, best tv show of all time)... some insist Fox still owns it; others say Fox gave the rights to Joss after they canceled it so he try and find another home network.. I've read that Joss has said "I don't even know who owns the rights (to Firefly) anymore." I have read that the actor's all signed contracts to do a sequel to Serenity and that those contracts expire in the fall of this year...That is what I've read. What I choose to believe is that - with every new week there are more of us, and someone's gotta pick up on that; Firefly DVD sales have been in the top 100 on Amazon for years...and someone's gotta pick up on that, too. So I'm gonna go with the hope/belief that someday there will be joy.

I'm with SISTER on this too!

We hold till Mal gets back!

There are more ways for the 'verse to come back now then there were before. We've still got sequel possibilities. We've got Direct to DVD possibilities. We got Sci-Fi channel movie like episode possibilities. We got direct download possibilities.

The thing is Joss and all the actors still want this too!

The more people see of our Big Darn Heroes' work and the boss's work, the more people want to see their work.

Keep spreading Firefly/Serenity. And Drive. And Goners. And everything else.

And don't forget fans are arranging Charity Serenity Screenings for June 2007. see http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com/

42 cities so far! 8 countries!

And there is another Serenity comic coming out in 2007 Serenity: Better Days. Tells the story of what happens when a job goes smooth.

Just a quick message of hope to go along with all this. I don't know how many of you have seen the movie The Boondock Saints, but IMHO, it's a great movie. Well, for the past few years, the fans of the movie, such as myself, had been holding out for a sequel. It didn't look good b/c the company that held the rights to the movie wouldn't relinquish them. Mind you, this movie came out in 1999 and met A LOT of critical backlash. But the fans kept fighting and so did the director. And now, the director recently announced that he had gained the rights to the movie, was in the process of getting a production company to pick them up and the sequel will be coming soon. Think about that, nearly eight years after a movie's release and it's going to have a sequel. And why? Because the fans helped fight for it. So fellow Browncoats, I offer that word of encouragement. No matter how dark or farfetched it may seem that we will see our beloved crew again, there is always hope. Keep fighting for it gang and

Keep flyin'.

Another way to look at it is that as the actors find other work and get more famous, then making more Firefly/Serenity will become a much more attractive business venture.

The more well known our awesome crew is, the more bankable they will be. And even if many of them are involved in TV series, they can still arrange their schedules to make movies. TV actors do it all the time.

We hold.

Nothing more to say, really.


Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Didn't I read somewhere they all signed for a 3 picture deal before the BDM? Or is that null and void now? I'm sure they would do another movie(if the show up for a cancelled convention, surely they'll do a movie).

According to Sean, Sister is correct here.
