Yeah, I should have edited it right after I posted, but figured you could cut and paste. Haken's fooling with the code again I guess.

Firefly is connected to R.I.P.D.! This quote from a review makes me optimistic about another Firefly movie, eventual.

Quote:
R.I.P.D. is the film version of a comic-book from Dark Horse Comics, the company that also published Hellboy, various Frank Miller works and numerous comics spinoffs from popular films. Dark Horse’s works have led to other film adaptations such as The Mask (1994), Timecop (1994) and Virus (1999). R.I.P.D. was a four-issue series that was originally published between 1999 and 2000. . . . http://moria.co.nz/horror/ripd-2013.htm

The Firefly/R.I.P.D. connection is that Serenity comics were also published by Dark Horse Comics. If Joss Whedon wrote a four-issues series sequel to Firefly, a movie deal is possible, same as R.I.P.D. It has happened at Dark Horse several times before.

The fantasy part is that the Firefly comics need to have an ineffable quality that Hollywood calls "good". I get pessimistic about the possibility of "good" when I look back at Firefly comics published after the movie: Serenity Float Out or Downtime or mediocre Shepherd's Tale or The Other Half or free excrement like It's Never Easy. "Bad" is always easy.

Lucky for us, none of those Firefly comics were written by Joss Whedon, so there is hope that when he returns to comics the story will be Hollywood good.
