I’d love to see Firefly the movie-- but would they start up where they left off, or would it be like “Serenity” and start in the beginning for all of those who missed the already aired episodes? Because I have a feeling we’d be seeing a lot of what we already know. Not that I’m complaining, I’d still go see to see it four or five times a day.

And you know what, it sucks that they cancelled John Doe. If it wouldn’t have been for that show I would of never watched Firefly at all. I loved all of the useless information.

It's too bad that Bermann referred to Whedons efforts in the past tense. I wish he would have said Joss "is" instead of "was" planning to refashion and revive as a movie.

If the movie does well then firefly might be picked up a series again. Probably not by fox but they are on record as saying that they wont stop another network from picking it up.

Slightly different spin on what Gail Berman said in the L.A. Times.

"Berman said that the futuristic "Firefly" combined too many genres for it to connect with audiences, but that creator Joss Whedon was developing a feature based on the series."

Sounds to me like that says that the show was too real for people to conect with, I don't know where they find these people.

I'm sure I'm very much in the minority on this one, but I think this is in a way disappointing. It means that (for the moment) more episodes aren't really being pursued.

I never understood when Star Trek: The Next Generation started up and we FINALLY had Star Trek on TV EVERY WEEK again, all the fans immediately started shouting MOVIES. Hmmmm. 26 hours a year, or 2 hours every 2 years?

Now at this point I'm excited to get Firefly back in any form (t-shirt? Heh heh heh.) and maybe if we get a movie they'll finally make my Serenity model/toy/motor home. But watching a Joss show is like reading a book (not Shepard Book, mind). And a movie is more like a short story.

I know more folk that have started watching the show after it was canceled than did when it was on. So maybe when we get EVERYBODY WE'VE EVER MET to go see it (AND buy the DVD), they'll get a market for it. Hmmmm.

Of course, if it's a real movie, maybe one of the womenfolk will get nekid...
