I would be surprised to see something like that tried with a series such as Firefly as most of the money it bought in came from syndication etc Although it's done very well on DVD I'd be surprised if it could sell well enough to fund a full series.

Perhaps the movie series would change that. If the model could be proved by a more successful franchise (Trek?) it could be viable. A tenner for each 45 minute episode. Hell, I'd pay it.
I wouldn't be willing to pay a tenner for a 45 minutes episode, two possibly but not for one.
At the end of the day though, and although I would like to see a lot more Firefly, I don't see anyone taking a financial gamble like this on such a well known property . . .

For those of you who haven't yet sampled the delights of Firefly, get your butts over to Amazon.co.uk where you can currently pick up a copy of the DVD box set for a knock-down, drag-out price of £12.97!

seriously though, at that price you cannot go wrong.

So that's you down to £7.03 for Saturday then . . .
It's ok, I'll buy fellow Firefly fans a drink if they answer me a riddle to prove their fan-ness.
Although this means I will now have to think of a riddle... Damn!

Just had the following e-mail from The Browncoats:
Check out exciting news from Joss Whedon:
Hey guys.
I'm here on the official site, so that can only mean one thing: somebody finally told me my password! (Again.) It probably also means that I have some big-ass announcement or other. Well tops on the announcement list is this: after months of intensive yoga, i can finally touch my toes! (They feel round and bunion-y.)
But there's more! I'm talkin' movie news, peeps, so no more drumroll: Trailer. Serenity. Tuesday.
Yeah, kids, the haps is hap'nin', and it runs thus: EXCLUSIVELY on Apple movie trailers (and linked through this site as well of course) will be a small, medium, large or FULLSCREEN trailer for Serenity the major motion movie. Yeah, THE trailer. And the following Friday said trailer hits theaters. Which theaters? Until I get confirmation you'll have to guess, but I'm betting you can.
Now, here's a word of warning: this trailer ain't shy. If you're looking to live totally spoiler-free, know that there's plenty of key dialogue and images running through this bad boy. It's pretty tasty, though, and it doesn't give everything away. But close scrutiny will definitely learn you much of what's to come. (Anakin TOTALLY goes evil.) It's a nice piece to while away the time till September, and hopefully should intrigue th' peeps that don't have coats of brown.
The only thing more exciting than y'all finally seeing this was showing it to Nathan. Like a schoolboy giggled he.
Bye-ee!
Joss "You can't take my toes from me" Whedon.

So there you have it! Trailer this Tuesday!

Damn you lucky lady! And if you post spoilers I will have to use superhuman powers of resisting to not read them. Trailer spoilers are ok because they won't give away the whole film, but I want to go in to the film not knowing what will happen.
I got that email from Joss as well and went 'YAY!' really loudly!

I don't think anybody wants the film spolied so if you must post a review make sure it's spoiler free.

She's there, she's in the background of the first few group shots. The only person I couldn't see was Shepherd Book . . . (he is in it by all accounts though).

I watched it this morning whilst getting ready for work. I also wibbled.
Apparently Book comes on to the ship later, or something. I can't remember. But he's definitely in it.
Favourite bit of the trailer after first watching: Wash: 'It's bad' (or something) Mal: 'How bad?' Wash: 'Oh God Oh God we're all going to die bad'.
Classic moment from the beautiful Mr Tudyk there. And Nathan Fillion.....*wibble *thud*. Sean Maher looking purty as well.
And the shot where River is hiding by doing the splits to brace herself against a wall....cooooooooool
Can't believe I have to wait until September to see it!
I've never seen firefly, but I've requested the season 1 DVD it as a post-birthday birthday present from my mum, xcrosses fingersx
Gah!!
It still won't work!
Boo hoo hoo
It still won't work!
Boo hoo hoo
I like the "You can't stop the signal" tag line at the end - wonder what that's all about . . .
There's something about it on the serenity website. I've not checked but in a mailing from the site today:
QUOTE (joss)
There's supposed to be a "Can't Stop the Signal" page on this website (I don't know where it is -- hey, I remembered my damn password, doesn't that buy me any cred?) There should be more info there soon about how to get in, bringing peeps into the fold, I think there's even competetions and stuff. (All I know is I have exactly 20 Brownie points. I answered ONE triv Q and got it wrong. Forget cred. I have no cred.)

Hey there, long time reader, new poster, blah blah all that jazz.
I managed to see serenity last night at the Sydney test screening. It was pretty complete, a few FX missing and some music out of place but it was very near final.
Thoughts on the movie? I’m not going post any spoilers for you, with the 10 US screenings not far it, the best thing I can do is leave you all with an open slate to view the film.
I’ve been a firefly fan from the start. Joss is a genius. Buffy. Angel. Firefly. The best TV out there. Now that’s a lot of hype. My expectations for this flick were huge. I had so many ideas in my mind, they have to explore this, and they have to do that!
So, what happened?
I was absolutely blown away. It was just so amazing. It surpassed all my expectations and even though I didn’t think it was possible, gave me that much more respect for joss, the cast and the crew of firefly.
For people who have seen firefly, a lot is answered and for people who haven’t, they might have a hard time getting their head around a few things but there is a damn fine movie for anyone to enjoy.
The interaction between the characters was mirrored from the TV show; the one-liners hit the spot every time. The effects have been improved with the budget and the story offers enough answers to satisfy yet poses more questions to keep us curious.
what did it for me was the perfect harmony of comedy and drama, there were quite a few points where the whole audience was united in tears of laughter, and other where everyone was on the edge of their seats, eyes wide, mouths open.
See the movie. Its great.
I didn’t think it were possible for my expectations to be met but this went so much further.
I would have to give it ****1/2, but that may be upgraded for the final product.
