Joss Interview Video on TV Guide

Yay! This is good news, but the economy is weak, investors have no money to invest and lenders don't have any money to lend, especially here in bankrupt California. Serenity 2 would be risky because Serenity 1 only broke even. In time, if the economy rebounds and Joss regains credibility with Dollhouse, we might see a sequel. That’s why it’s important to keep watching even though the first episode was mediocre.

It’s nice to hear he’s ready, although…you know another character will die...hmmm, are we sure we want this?

How cool is it to hear even those vague words of encouragement!?!

I have to throw this out there - with all the talk about Joss and his internet "genre portal" idea (what he's said his next move will be) and now we hear that as long as someone says the word on "Serenity 2", he is "ready".... well, might it be SUCH a leap to say he could be thinking about something 'Verse related in THAT regard?

I realize I am wishing upon hoping here, but it doesn't seem CRAZY.

I don't think CRAZY people often recognize they're being CRAZY.

Firefly had a pretty large TV budget. That's not going to translate well to self funded internet productions that make "dozens of dollars". Most of the budget at the time went to special effects I'm betting. Now that a few of the BDHs are steadily employed in some decent shows I bet their salaries have gone up. Besides I think Joss is ready to tell some new stories.

Very good points for sure. My thinking is that the prospect becomes less crazy when you consider the myriad possibilities of what this "genre portal" might end up being. Joss has already said he'd like to announce a project, then see what sort of interest and money (fan-generated and advertising generated) he could muster up, THEN create the project with that money. Imagine the "genre portal" was a (and I'm just throwing this out, but in the changing internet/TV climate, I don't think it is far fetched) Sci-Fi sort of internet subscription "channel" with three or four pre-announced offerings. $5-$10/month. First dibs on DVDs. Also get paid advertisers. When you factor OUT the funds that would normally go to network TV, all of a sudden a "Firefly" budget doesn't look crazy at all.

I would wager Joss has something big like this up his sleeve (whether a return to the 'Verse is involved or not).

Wow, good to see people are still holding. :) I was afraid I had gotten into the game past a point of no return. I'm energized now just thinking about the possibilities!

Where in the mass of Universal sub-sections would one direct a request letter? Thanks for the various links to interviews and studio contacts.
