Great USA Q&A with Joss

Great interview, thanks for the link!

You know in your hearts Firefly would never have stayed the "way it was" for very long. There are some shows out there where the characters and their positions never change, same stuff different day, year after year. Joss didn't steer any of them. If the show had never been cancelled, if we were right now enjoying season X without a break, it would still not be the Firefly on the current DVD set. That's how it would be, and that's how he meant the words in that quote. Sure, the name of the show would be the same, but everything else would be subject to change without notice. It's called story and character development, and staying in the same, comfortable place for very long was never going to be an option in the Whedonverse.

But then all of those stories would have been told. Now I know they never will be.

That's the show I fell in love with, and that was the whole point of holding out hope. Guess it really is gone forever.

Looks like there's no more future for a Firefly fan like me in this 'verse. Maybe it's time to take off the ol' browncoat.

I think you'd have to be a bit silly to hope for the TV show to return, the movie(hopefully movies) and comic books are now where the stories will take place. TV show would be too troublesome, the actors have moved onto other things and probably couldn't commit to a TV show.

The best-case scenario is that the DVD is such a spectacular, monster hit that we get to make another movie. Then, we get to make another movie. After three movies, we're all very tired. After Serenity: Revolutions, we feel like we've played it out. And then we make another series.

...But I would love to tell more stories of this universe and to hang out with these people on and off for the rest of my career.

Well - apart from the scary reference to the Matrix sequels - thats pretty positive in my book.

of course, my book is very short and full of spelling mistakes...

Just a fun update. This article was posted on Whedonesque, where Joss commented on it:

“Whitney -- really fun to talk to, but she made one vital mistranslation of our talk. Since we all know one wrong word can completely change the angle of a story, this time I'm gonna step in to head off confusion right away. The exact words I said to her were "my sad but shapely butt". You can see how I wouldn't want that misinterpreted. My work, maybe, But not my fine fine booty.”

Whedon said a while ago that he has two sequels in his head, but nothing on paper yet and would like to do a trilogy. Don't think it's a well publicised interview since it was on some light hearted entertainment show which is shown at 2am on ITV in the UK @_@

When he says series though, I think he'd mean Firefly TNG kind of thing. It'd be awesome if Serenity had changed hands :) or it could just be a whole new crew/ship all togther in the same universe.
