The rights likely will not default back to the creator...the production company usually owns the property because they're putting up the money for it.

The only thing that will bring back Firefly is for Joss to want to and for someone to pay for the movie. Period. Anything that can be done by fans, has been done by fans a long time ago.

Yeah... annoying though. If BSG could make through all the way to the end at 4 seasons, I swear FF would be fine if they gave it another try. Oh well!

The business world usually cares very little for art. It is annoying but a basic fact of life. Money is the god of Hollywood and that's the only place at this point where another movie could come from.

I loved BSG. I was fascinated and fell hard. Had some problems with S3 and the ending, but all in all I was a huge fan.
I think that the SyFy channel ( using their new name, might as well get on with it ) could make a mini series of Firefly. I think that Uni could put out a straight to DVD movie of Firefly with lower production costs. I really don't see either one happening, but that could certainly be a more viable option. I'd love to see Firefly play out over something besides a 2 hour movie. Too fast, too much expected and Joss and Tim both excel at arcs and longer story telling.

Stargate SG-1 was a great show on Showtime. I can't stand what Syfy has done to it, so I have a hard time watching it.

Firefly revival is impossible, all of those people have careers now. Maybe they'd get together for a movie or something.

Except that they won't. At least that's what history tells us. As in, every single FF/S product has barely recouped costs. So, 'a killing' isn't exactly likely.

You're right, Serenity sold, as of 9/9/07, only $1.3 Million worth of DVD. This, of course, was before the Blu-Ray version. In movie studio circles that's the budget for the mail room, not a big hit.

Maybe that's why it's been put on the back burner.
So I wonder why they made a Blu-Ray of both the BDH and FF the series? Hmmmmm, I find that odd. I imagine that Fox would only make that move if it made money.
