Joss Whedon's Firefly Coming To The Big Screen

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the celebrate-good-times dept.

lhouk281 writes "According to this article in the Hollywood Reporter, Universal is turning Firefly into a movie. Firefly lives!" This show deserved a chance to run a full season. If this comes out, I'll sure be there opening weekend.

    I'm sorry, but I saw NONE of what you listed in Firefly. That show was boring, poorly written, and the acting was horrid! The characters were so 1 dimensional it was almost funny.

    I wasn't shocked at all when it was cancelled, as I could barely sit through one episode without cringing.

    I'm standing in line already. Huzzah!

    Fox execs are morons - it's a great show that didn't get a chance to bloom. Crappy time spot, totally out of sequence airing. Glad to see it kicking ass in the UK. But damn those Amazon customers! I want my DVD collection now!

      Yeah, what a bunch of morons. They cancel a show that earned them next to nothing in advertising revenue, then announced a movie, and fans (you) are "already standing in line" to pay to see it. Buffons, I tell ya! =)

    C'mon - you actually liked that clap trap? It was like the campiest screenplay he could make was found by some exec who thought it would play well.

    What the hell is a western and space fantasy doing on the same page?!

    Seriously, put something into space and I'll love it. I like anything that I can remotely fit into my mind as being Science Fiction- except firefly.
    IT SUCKED, AND WAS CANCELED BECAUSE IT SUCKED. STOP SAYING IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN "GIVEN A CHANCE" AND ACCEPT THAT IT SUCKED- BY NO LONGER BEING ON THE AIR, IT MAKES WAY FOR BETTER THINGS. (note that this does not mean that better things have come along to replace it)

    HOLY FUCK THAT WAS A SHITTY SHOW.

    This is _NOT_ troll, this is _NOT_ flamebait, if you disagree with those facts, TRY POSTING A FUCKING REPLY. The show sucked, okay? Just because a post has the word "suck" in it, doesnt make it a troll or a flame- it is INFORMATIVE or INSIGHTFUL if you absolutely NEED to moderate. Otherwise- FUCKING POST, YOU FUCKWIT
