"Serenity"/"Freddy" Updates

Conventions seemed rife this weekend that C-Grade actresses must've been in short supply for talkshows. The "Starfury: Fusion" convention in Blackpool had one insider there named 'Pixel' who got a couple of minutes chat with Nathan Fillion, best known for the lead role in "Firefly" and a guest stint as an evil Preacher at the end of "Buffy". Fillion spoke a bit about the "Firefly" film spin-off "Serenity" which Universal is currently developing:

"When the set was struck, at the end of the show, nothing was kept except one door, so everything had to be built from scratch. The characters of Badger and Saffron will not be in the film, however ALL nine main cast members will appear.

Filming starts early June for ten weeks for a projected release "early next year". The budget, previously listed as $35m, is actually about $50m. The deal they have with Universal precludes another TV show - so a revival ain't gonna happen. The plan is, if the film does well enough, to have a trilogy of films".

Whoa! So, the budget is actually around 50 million... Shiny!

So, a Trilogy huh? Now, this will definitely have other potential viewers thinking that its a rip-off of "Star Wars" only to be pleasantly awed and suprised that Serenity is in a league of its own. Ahhh... I love being a fan.

Now, as much as I'd love a trilogy, I don't know if I can hold off waiting 2 years for another film. I'd really prefer a TV show.

While - movie! Multiple movies! Yay! ...I really like how, in TV, you get a lot of character development, that you just can't get in a film. Am I lame, that I'm feeling awfully sad that it won't come back as a series?

Nathan Fillion was quoted as saying the $50 million budgeted 'Serenity' will not return as a television series should it preforms well at the box office; rather, it'll become a trilogy of movies.

I have been hoping apon hope that a TV series revival of Firefly would occurr... doesnt seem likely now... I mean movies is good but I want regularity.

I'm spoilled but I want the movies AND the television show. I love the characters too much to just have them in 1 or 3 movies. I need weekly installments!!

Movies will be great but, see the thing is, now it's almost not a question of just getting back a TV show I liked. When Firefly was canceled I felt like the world had gone insane. I Still do.
I want Firefly back where it belongs, in a recurring format, building this story and these characters the way they were meant to be. And not just because it would be entertaining. To see Joss and crew pour themselves into something as good as this and have it crapped on by soulless fucks in suits is -- well it needs to be undone.

What I don't understand is, if Fox cancelled it and has no interest in reviving it, why don't they just sell the rights to someone else who is, or just let someone else run the show while they get some kind of royalty?

Seems like allowing Firefly to make a comeback on TV would make them more money than keeping it off.

Money! Hear that Fox? Here, foxy foxy foxy, money... nice green money...

Stupid Huh choo-shang tza-jiao duh tzang-huos.

Six shots, then drop it.

What I want to know is if the movie will prequel the series, or pick up where it left off, or if we'll be forced to endure a reintroduction of all of the characters.
