Petitions don't work. I've never seen an instance where they do.

Buying all 100 different versions of the show and the movie that are out and will probably come out within our lifetimes hasn't and won't do any good either.

Only one thing that I think would ever work and I mentioned that in another thread.

Start an escrow account (an interest bearing account would be ideal) and get as many people to fund it as possible. Get some lawyers to make it completely legit beforehand and promise a return of slightly less money (legal and administrative expenses) if it doesn't pan out. Get a couple of million together (shouldn't be too hard if there are really that many fans out there shelling out 15-45 bucks for each new BS rendition of the show/movie), and tell them that we've taken the money hostage and won't give it up until they release Serenity.

Other than that, they've never given any reason for anybody to have any hope that the show will ever come back on air, and if I didn't know that it was their jobs to be some of the slimiest exploitive scum on the planet, I would say that the execs, CEO and the board at FOX should be ashamed of themselves for exploiting such a loyal fanbase by waving a faint glimmer of hope of resurrection in front of their faces every time they want to get them to buy a 3rd and 4th and 5th copy of what they already own in a shiny new package.

Hey i love your enthusiasm...I haven't read the other posts so scuse me if I'm repeating some sentiments. We haven't given up we are waiting for the next opportunity (eg if Joss and co say they want to go again we'll go with them)..Petitions are futile, and anyway we the fans have already done some spectacular stuff ressurection wise. our previous devoted efforts got a movie made for chrissakes! how often does that happen? If our numbers keep expanding something is more likely to happen. So get more people to watch Firefly and Serenity. Eventually we'll have an unignorable Global mass of people going "why did they kill such a good series? this is unacceptable they have to remake it"

The truth of it is that Fox is looking to squeeze as much as they can from the reselling of the movie and series.

At this point I think Universal has the rights. They have the HD version of the series on cable. It is my understanding that they want to see how many people will pay to see it and how many (more) DVDs they can sell before committing to another movie. The BDM only broke even at the box office, which in Hollywood means it was a failure. And so no studio would want to spend more money if they are not going to make tons of money (if they spend $50 million total the BDM would have to be double that). Still, I think that Universal, who got the BDM done, sees how much they can make from the fans of the "Verse" that our Firefly will come back in some form (perhaps as a miniseries on cable - hint, hint). They would be wise in brining it back because of the fan interest worldwide. Yes, I said it - WORLDWIDE! Are you listening good people at Universal? Don't make the same mistake Fox made.

Shiny! Let's be bad guys!

wow, kinda weird. Feel a little bit like someone is readin my mind. I basically just did the same thing Comeonletsgetfireflybackon did. Watched the series and is all fired up. But i do realize that it will take time if it will happen. Its been almost 6 YEARS since the airing of firefly. I see that the best kind of support here is continued support.....I am officially a fan.

I'm just gonna repeat what I posted in another thread...

Go to the Universal HD Firefly forums and start posting...

Why?....

Because Universal is a studio with the cashy money and power to give us more 'Verse if we give them enough reason to do so, because Universal continues to show interest in the 'Verse (They just donated 35mm copies of Serenity to the "Can't Stop the Serenity" folks), because Universal HD continues to show Firefly (as a full weekly series, in the correct order no less, and not a lame 5-6 episode marathon), because they made Serenity, and because on these forums we can be seen and heard by the folks who could help Joss push the button.

So go here http://boards.nbcuni.com/universalHD/index.php?showforum=4 and start posting gorram it!

Comeonletsgetfireflybackon. Eveyone is glad that you have finally discovered this incredible series. Everyone hesitates to respond in kind to your invective, because we need everyone on deck. But please don't join a group six years later, and ignore the efforts of everyone involved. I'll once again be at the summer showing of Serenity. I'll buy every product I can to show product strength. I'll watch reruns on Sci-fi, on UniversalHD. I'll sign whatever petition is lately going to come about. I'll do whatever I can legally to get another movie, mini-series, show, puppet show, saturday morning cartoon, whatever, back on. Maybe if you had been with us six years ago, or anywhere in between, like for example, gone to see Serenity at the theater five times, then maybe we'd have more now. Welcome on board, stop complaining, and think of something positive.

Welcome aboard the best boat in the 'verse. It is great that you love the show as much as those of us who watched it when it originally aired on FOX, bought the dvds when they were first released, bought multiple copies of the dvds as gifts, library donations, etc, and then saw Serenity in theaters (eight times myself) as well as taking four other people to see it, then buying that dvd (again multiple times) as well as the Collector's Edition when it was released last year.

Yep, we haven't done a damn thing to try to get this ship back in the air. Bad for us.

Hmmm, let's see about that. For the most part, all the principle actors have gone on to showcase their talents in both movies and television. Except for Ron Glass, who is now in his 60's and probably not as interested in working hard, how can you say none of them seem to have anything?

Nathan Fillion, Desperate Housewives, Drive, Lost, movies...

Morena Baccarin, Stargate, Heartland, movies...

Jewel Staite, Stargate Atlantis, etc..

Summer Glau, The Unit, The 4400, Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles, movies...

Gina Torres, Justice League, Standoff, Alias, movies...
