My prediction if Universal drops the ball and decides not to pursue the Trilogy and the contracts expire:

Fox will pick up the ball.

Firefly is selling waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Serenity. Everyone, I think its safe to say, loves Firefly just a little more than Serenity.

Fox gave a license recently for the Multi Media Online Game for Firefly. So they are looking to make some money off of this 'verse as well. If Universal drops the ball the Fox can step in and reap the opportunity.

We are just to pretty to die. This September marks our 5th anniversary. We are still here and there are more arriving every day.

The Great thing about Contracts is that they don't preclude any future work. The problem with Fox picking it up is that Joss wont work with them anymore. And as much as we all love Firefly and our BDHs, it's a Joss Wedon piece. Without Joss, it's not Firefly. And I think the Actors feel that way too. Also, Fox, though they may not seem to want to now, may eventually allow someone ((Universal)) to buy the rights in full. Then it will be entirely up to them to give us what we want.

Just my opinion, but I think Universal and Joss already have plans on a sequel. I've heard that he'd like the sequel to take place when the crew is older, and I'm pretty sure if I heard about it, then pretty much everybody else in here already has, because I'm not a fan of Joss myself and I don't follow any of his work. Don't get me wrong, Firefly is the shit, but aside from Hunter S Thompson, my idols are the founding fathers. Just never really got the whole celeb crazy fan thing myself, but more power to you if you got bit by that bug yourself.

Let's put it this way: If I was an exec at Universal and I already knew that there was a greenlight for Firefly and it wasn't going to happen for another 5 years, and I was also aware of a rabid fanbase that has openley stated that for the love of the show and the movie that they are more than willing to be exploited and would even buy 10 different versions of the same thing..... well let's just say that I'd try to push it and see if ya'all would buy 20 different versions of the same thing.

I'm not implying that Joss would be behind this at all. In fact, his little statement about he'd like to see the cast older might have been a little hint or his way of saying "keep flying guys", while his lips are legally bound to be sealed. If it went down this way, I'm sure his contract wouldn't allow him to tell all of you that the sequel was going to be made until they give him permission. Though that's not to say that he's not getting a fat paycheck himself everytime a new version comes out and it sells more than the previous version.

If I'm wrong, more power to you for trying to do anything to bring this great show back, but they're not getting any more of my money until a new show or movie comes out.

Agreed. However I believe Joss love Firefly much more than he dislikes Fox. Plus the folks that betrayed him have been gone for a while. Firefly is Joss' baby. He fell in love and he has all those stories just itching to get out. That is why we have the comics coming out.

Joss will tell his story anyway he can.

My point is that the contracts with Universal expiring does not mean there won't be more of the 'verse someday. I am not expecting more now. But I am expecting more someday. That's why we are still flyin'.

I haven't heard anything about a sequel except rumors and speculations about what it should be. Some want a prequel so Wash and Book are in it. Some want Inara's story told.

Folks have plenty of ideas.

I just have faith there will be more because there is money to be had here. They pulled that movie after only a month in the theatres. That was just wrong. They didn't introduce the cast to anyone and they didn't keep those ads on tv past the first week. Grrrr Aaaarrrrrggggghhh.

I love Joss' work because it is rich, smart and funny as heck. I like Joss Whedon the man because he is down to earth when dealing with folks. I was one of those lucky enough to be an extra on Serenity. Joss is a hard worker and has a great sense of humor. He doesn't take himself too seriously but he does take his work seriously. He puts a lot into every aspect.

This isn't just a fan/celeb thing. Its a respect the man thing.

They pulled it after a month? My local theatre, notorious for its being really bad, had it for three and a half months, because they were making quite a pretty penny off of it. I asked the manager and he said that it was their best draw all year.

You're the luckiest person I know Rosie. Not only did you get work on screen ((Being an extra counts)) but you were on screen in Serenity!!! Did you make the final cut? If so which Scene((s))? That would've been so cool.

Most theaters pulled Serenity after about a month. Onnly two cities in the country held it for five months straight, combined first-run and second-run: Santa Barbara CA and Portland OR.

Rosie - After Jayne's Let's be bad guys line - Pause and do a frame by frame as Mal and Zoe enter.

Also as Zoe shoots the security cam, I'm behind her. Then when Jayne pounds the guy the angle reverses and you see Jayne and Zoe I am kneeling between them. When River enters, she walks in past a my hand.

The following is my report for the Browncoats on the OB.

Thank you, Rosie. I still get all caught up in your report from the set and it's like time stands still and I'm there.

I'm so happy for you that you got to be a BDE!

As for being lucky... I've read enough of your posts to know you deserved it. You're always sweet and kind to folks and everyone appreciates you.

Aaaawww thank you.

Bringing folks into the moment is what I am trying to achieve.

Thinking about that experience still feels surreal. I feel like wishing made it so. It was my mantra, I want to be on set doing whatever. Then it became real.
