We know that there’s nothing on the horizon right now but it seems to be becoming a trend for Serenity actors visiting Australia (Alan Tudyk & Jewel Staite) to tell fans that it’s not yet time to give up on another movie, but with most of the cast being very busy in your careers right now, in your opinion, is there still any reason for fans to hope or do you think that time has passed?

NF: Firefly was an incredible lesson for me. I really fell in love with that show and the people I was working with and the story we were telling and the character I was playing. I fell in love and when it was taken away my hopes were dashed, I was crushed entirely. I though, I was disillusioned. I was angry, I was so angry and then the fans, the fans came through and then Joss made this thing happen and then this perfect storm of positivity that the wonderful people over at Universal, taking it upon themselves to say “yeah, there’s a story to be told here and lets do it” so I’ll never give up hope. When people say “is there gonna be another Serenity” not so far as I know, I mean when there will be you’ll know. People come to me when I’m signing their autograph “Is there going to be another Serenity”, this isn’t where you’re going to find out, this isn’t going to be the arena. But I’ll never say never, I can say not right now, not that I know of, nobody’s said anything to me, I could tell you that. That’s the truth, not right now, nothing right now, that’s the fact, but never say never, I’ve learned that because there’s Serenity of course.

I'm holding too!

The rest of the interview is fabulous too. Personally, right now I can't wait for Trucker and Dr Horrible

I never gave up hope myself, and it boggles me when people do!

Darksiders can keep their cookies. We have better writers.

Grrr. Argghh.

Patiently waiting to see Cap'n Hammerpants sing!

The BDM was released in 2005, the TV series was crushed by Fox in 2002, and here we are in mid-2008 still talking about it.

You bet your gorram life there'll be another Serenity. Hollywood, specifically Universal can't ignore the fact that so many Browncoats, old and new converts, are clamoring for our BDH.

But the captain's words are encouraging. I believe as more people discover this gem it will go to such heights that can't be ignored any longer.

You with the bathing, me with the watching you bathe.

He should'nt give up hope, that's why he's the Captain, but I'm done buying DVD's. FOX & Universal ar'nt getting another dime from me, they can both come up with a Super Duper Collectors Editon in Super Hi Def Blue Ray in 3D signed by God and I wo'nt buy it. They've gotten my money, now one of them make a Sequel!

They won't - because they got us by the small and curlies. The series ended in 02 - the BDM in 05 - and it's been several years since. Nearly every performer in the show has moved on to other things, even Joss.

We tried, we really did. And we can be that nice little shiney series on the shelf that people can use to do fundraisers and sell box-sets for every gorram format out there. Easy money - because we keep buying. We can't/won't let the dream die. They don't have to put any effort into it - because they know this.

This has gone the same way that Space: Above and Beyond did, with a series cut prematurely by FOX before it had a chance to build effective steam - and then FOX holding it in a stranglehold of "We don't want it but We'll be damned if we let anyone else have it, either."

Face it, folks - we're on the ground in Serenity Valley, and Command decided to cut their losses and pull out. And my neck is getting awfully sore chasing the carrot they have dangled forever infront of us.

On a seperate note:

Honestly, I don't want a BDMx2 - I didn't like how everything was compressed to try to tell 5 seasons worth of stuff into 2 hours. I'd much rather have a Firefly show on a network that will treat it with care - even if its based in another country (BBC, Australian Equivelant).

Has anyone thought about Fanfilms/Fan-series? Doing independant-fanmade stories in true browncoat style? I mean - Noone (in a professional sense), not even Joss, is putting any money, ideas, or effort forward to bring it back. So why don't people who actually give a damn? Theres enough Star Wars fanfilms out there...

Wishing it were otherwise and knowing it ain't.

Those are the objective facts. Faith got us here and keeps us here, but it's been all the time in the 'verse needed to do something.

'Course, STNG and STDSN came about decades after original Trek. I don't think I'll still be here if we have to wait that long.

They should just get it on and do the project, make the movie, sell a new set od DVDs and we'd be happy for a long time.

Until Joss lets other writers play in his universe, we will never be as big as Star Wars and Star Trek. He needs to let other writers tell some stories about our crew, I would love a Firefly/Serenity novel to hold me, until Joss can commit to a new show or movie???

Keep Flying!!

Tholo,

Did you read New York Times Bestselling Author Steven Brust's Firefly Fanfiction Novel http://dreamcafe.com/firefly.html It is good.

Have you read Joss' new comic mini-series Serenity: Better Days ? Issue #3 of 3 comes out Wednesday. I think it would make a wonderful Straight to DVD movie. Already scripted and story-boarded. And Universal has the rights to Serenity. And Universal has the rights to make movies out of Dark Horse comic books.

Everybody keep in mind that it isn't just like Joss can call up the actors and film something. Oh wait, he can.

The more people see of our Big Darn Heroes work, the more they want to see of our Big Darn Heroes work...which leads them back to Firefly/Serenity.

Someday, some studio will realize that there is enough money to be made in the 'verse or Joss and the actors will do this themselves and say hey, studio, you want to stamp your name on this.

Firefly/Serenity...it is about Love...it is about Hope.

We hold 'til Mal gets back.
