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.

    The article says that they sold out Amazon's preorders in a day. How do you sell out preorders? If you're running Amazon, don't you want as many preorders as possible?

    Still, sweet!

    Now all we need is a Farscape movie or three, and the world will be a better place.

    I'd much rather see a revival of the "Babylon 5" spin-off "Crusade," than I would "Firefly." "Crusade" had the elements of a great science fiction television series, but much like how Fox screwed over "Firefly," TNT screwed over "Crusade." It was fun to watch Mr. Brady command a powerful starship while it lasted...

    The Klingons are ridge-heads, just like Klingons in TMP and afterwards. They're still angry, but a lot stupider than the old show. (Klingons in the old show seemed to be modeled more after Japanese samurais than the warlike oafs they've been turned into.)

    Phasers in Enterprise are better than the old show (they "pulse" like TNG, instead of locking in place for 5 seconds.) Enterprise has cool flat screens with whirly-twisty graphics, etc.

    And if I'm not mistaken, they never ran into Klingons in the timeframe that Enterprise takes place. Although, I could be confusing that with Romulans. Sorry, I'm a disgrace to Trekkies everywhere.
