Also;
I've noted in a number of places,
I prefer Firefly fan films that introduce new characters;
and I mean REALLY new characters, not just switching up the SERENITY crew.
But, there is an eight and a half minute Mal and Zoe origin story
already out there:
titled "Cache".

All the characters in Origins are original except Mal. There's new independent Jack Hinson, Alliance Admiral Sherman, The Preacher, pilot Stanley Cross, and a host of other new characters good, bad, and ugly.
A character sketch between Mal and Stanley Cross will be posted shortly, to give an example of dialogue and acting abilities.

Serenity can only be achieved in the wilderness.

Bellflower, Part Two has been seen by 945.
Watch the video to become a member of a very select group.
To keep it in prospective, in two days 7,055 people have seen Lego Serenity time-lapse build.
Um there's a reason for that. And it has nothing to do with fan interest in Firefly related stuff waning either ......
Also LEGO is a universally known item. Most adults remember playing with Lego. It's an institution, dare I say, even bigger than Star Wars.

It doesn't matter if they release it for free. FOX still has the rights to the title "Firefly" and all related characters. If they won't let individuals make and sell Jayne hats, what makes you think they will allow any filmed production that uses protected intellectual properties?
The Jayne hat issues had little do with Fox flexing their muscle. A company paid for the rights to the hat and started making them for sale. They're the ones who asked FOX to do a "cease and desist" against fans who were making and selling the hats (important distinction) for profit on Etsy. This company had every right to stop people from selling what they paid the licensing fee for. But they asked FOX to protect their IP on the behalf of a rightful licensee.
I find it astonishing just how much resistance and false legal theory, that folks in the Firefly fandom hurl about when it comes to fan films. They don't have this sort of negativity when it comes to the TONS of Star Wars, Star Trek, Batman, Spiderman, Marvel, Halo, Mortal Kombat, Predator, etc. etc. fan films that are all over the place.
Any corporation 'can' try to declare another production a violation of their IP. Remember that George Lucas tried to SUE the original Battlestar Galactica as being too 'close to Star Wars'. We all know how he made out on THAT claim ;) Nowadays, it's a matter of PR. The violation must be clear, unambiguous, for profit or damaging to the brand. Little fan films are like fan fiction. If there is no profit, then you're in the same club as the guy who builds a perfect Darth Vader costume, without first securing rights from Lucasfilm (Now Disney) and walking around a convention with it on.
