Official Firefly Movie Web Site Launched
The Orange Hatter writes "The official Universal Pictures web site for the Firefly Movie 'Serenity' is up. It includes a blog, message board, opportunites to get point for Firefly swag, and lots of other fun stuff. Check it out."
No. They will not continue to record the series. The movie is all thats left, unfortunately. It was a terrific series.
Not more than you need, just more than you want
The current hope is that a successful movie run will get Firefly back on the air. Until then, get the DVD set already !

Point yer browsin' gear here for news and discussion, including recent blogs by Nathan ("Mal") and Jewel ("Kaylee") from the set.
And by dint of shameless grovelling the webmaster has just wangled himself a part as an extra on the movie! Kudos.
No, it takes place about 6 months after "Objects in Space".
You can't take the sky from me...
Maybe the answer is an entirely new distribution channel like Mark Cuban's HDNet. Whedon should not be burdened with product placements and FOX-style scorecarding.
Is finally being listed in the cast. I've always thought Book was one of the more interesting characters of the show.

Heh yep. That was me. Only in that case, somebody saw the 'referrer=sr' in an Amazon link and went on a bloody stink about how he was making money off it. Turns out, 'referrer=sr' meant "this was found via the search engine. Heh.
"Derp de derp."
If you can stomach anime at all, you'll probably like Cowboy Beebop. It's just similar enough in tone to Firefly to be interesting (but not enough to make Firefly "a ripoff").
Oh no - flash is an abomination, not "the times." They want me to install a viewer for their non-standard animation format and then block %99.9 of what that viewer displays, just so I can click on the three links on the home page of their site?
No, that's certifiably retarded, there's not much room for uncertainty there.
sic transit gloria mundi
You just provided a bare link to fireflyfans.net. I'm not seeing anything obvious on the front page saying they won't consider renewing the series, so your "proof" is somewhat dubious.
That's what I was thinking.
i'll believe that Firefly is 100% dead when Whedon is made an offer by a studio to make a new Firefly series and he turns it down.
That would also depend on the terms thereof.
In the commentary for the DVDs Joss says that it was his favorite project of all the ones he worked on. As long as he maintained artistic control, all he needs is an executive producer to finance the show.
I suppose it is possible for HBO or Showtime to finance it like Showtime did with Stargate SG1. It might even be able to finance the show through DVD sales, and then syndicate the show on Saturday afternoons or something like we have with Buffy now.
Howdy Doodly Doo!
Anybody want some Toast?
I tried all the DVD stores in Brisbane Australia. No Firefly released or planned to be released in Australia.
Firefly not released in Australia (Region 4). Store guy recommened downloading it off the intenet.
Anyone seen Region 4 DVD of the series available.
BTW; it has also not been shown on TV here either.

If you're out of the X-Men loop, (or never in it in the first place), Issue 1 does a decent job of setting up the situation and characters, though it does make more sense if you've been following the recent story lines. Hopefully I'll get to check out Firefly soon, since his comic writing reflects well on him.

Adam Baldwin isn't a Baldwin brother. He's not related to them (Alec, Billy, etc.) at all. So, all is good.
