Ummm... You misunderstood me, Storymark, I said that they HAVEN'T been saying they're official or canon.

If I thought they were trying to pull something on me, claiming they were official/canon when they aren't then you can bet my reaction would be quite a bit more negative.

I'm elated that fans are continuing stories in the verse. I hope this series will spark more interest and perhaps raise a few eyebrows at Fox, and hopefully bring back our beloved show in some form.

So why the name Bellflower, out of curiosity? What's the significance behind the name? Or do we have to watch to find out?

You're right, I did misread. Apologies.

We need to throw up the hands here....We are not "Bellflower". We are entirely different and wish them the best of luck as well. They're several stories to be told in the verse.

...I don't think anyone has you confused with Bellflower....

GED made a comment about it. We don't want to cross lines even though their project looks great!

Does any production of this kind REQUIRE the blessing of Joss Whedon.Even if it doesn't, would it not be a matter of courtesy? I'm all for it,btw, I'm just interested to know.

I imagine whether a project requires the blessing of its creator depends on what's being done with it. The Spike/Angel slashfic in "C:/My Documents/For Fun" really doesn't require Joss's blessing however making and releasing a live action movie would probably tread copyright ground somewhere...

I also agree with Oblivion, that there are several stories, at the very least, to be told in the rich 'Verse that Joss created. However, out of a true respect to the fans, and even deeper respect to the creator himself I hope that the guys at Media Blender Studios do take the time to try and contact Joss/Fox/Universal and let them know what they're doing and inquire if they have any guidelines that need to be followed. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about what they're presenting here, but the last thing I'd want, and I imagine any Firefly fan would want, is any potential future fan based projects to be shut down by the powers that be because one project crossed a line somewhere; Especially if it's a line that they didn't know about, or didn't cross intentionally, but just because of over-excitement.

For all I know(and that's not a lot about this kind of thing) the word "Firefly" or the general design of the ship even, might be trademarked or copyrighted or something and using that might be enough of an infringement to cause a problem. I don't know, does anyone else?

Bottom line: I'm quite excited but pretty please with a cherry on top do all the homework and research needed to make the project a success. I've been waiting too damn long for more big damn stories from the 'Verse and I just don't want to be teased for nothing again!

No teasing. Principal cinematography begins next week. We have lots of people working eagerly to bring everyone a big damn show!

No, not really, as he doesn't own the property. To be officially sanctioned, they would need the blessing of Uni/Fox though.

But as a fan film, they'll essentially fly under the rader. Studios don't really bother with them - unless they make money - then they'll step in. But as long as the series is available for no charge, they should be fine.
