I have to agree. Yes Castle is still a commitment, however this movement wouldn’t happen over night…i say another 2-3 years before things were settled. Ya can stop the signal…and this proves that Browncoats are making noise.

Look over at Cobert Nation…http://forums.colbertnation.com/?page=ThreadView&thread_id=25291

be a negative nancy if you want, you might be right, but we won’t stop fighting.

While you make sense, I feel like you’re missing the point. I’m sure that most Firefly fans are aware that matters aren’t really as simple as “Give Nathan Fillion a ton of money.” The point is sending a message that they are willing to do that, and that there are alot of us. Considering the coverage this initiative has gotten, I would say progress is being made.

The reality is, and deep down I think we all know this, that Fox won’t sell Firefly. There is still money to be made here.

What this movement CAN do is show Fox that there is more money to be made here than just selling DVD box sets or licensing the original 14 episodes to barely there cable networks. They can get behind a new series. Maybe syndication. Maybe an animated show. Maybe a direct to DVD mini-series. Who knows…the possibilities are as endless as the ‘verse.

We just need to stay strong and not get discouraged when this movement fails. It’s just one more battle in the war for more Firefly. Keep fighting, fellow Browncoats, for together we are mighty.

@The One True … There are lots of plans for movies percolating out there but only a few make it. Had there not been a strong showing of support from the DVD sales, it’s unlikely that a movie would have been made.

Agreed. Too many folks try to be critics nowadays, whatever happened to expressing an opinion as an opinion rather than blanket fact, as though you’ve got some mystical insight into future events?

I think Browncoats, Fillion, Whedon, everyone attached would move heaven and hell to see this come back.

All we can do is spread the word and hope things will continue in the ‘verse. Even if Nathan can’t buy “Firefly” and FOX never understands what it means to be a Browncoat, at least we know. We will never stop fighting to do the impossible. We will never stop trying to make our corner of the ‘verse a better place. That’s how things such as Mike Dougherty’s “Browncoats: Redemption” (which I saw this past weekend at RadCon) and other good works happen. We at Seattle Browncoats Charities (www.sbcharities.org) are doing our part to help those who need it. Being a big damn hero is something Joss Whedon inspires in all of us. Can’t Stop the Serenity and other events, such as our Lighting the Shadows to stop domestic violence, let us continue to enjoy the ‘verse. We appreciate what is going on with Browncoat groups around the world and hope we can contribute.

IF Firefly is resurrected (and I am one who dearly hopes it will be), you can bet your sweet bippy (dating myself) that it won’t be as a TV series. Whedon has gone on record as saying that he only wants to make it as a feature. So…if AVENGERS is a monster hit, he could always do what Chris Nolan did between Bat-films and make a different movie. And I suppose it’s possible that it could be FIREFLY/SERENITY (“From the director of THE AVENGERS!”) But that is years away, so let’s hope the Mayans were wrong. Personally, I’d prefer it returned as a mini-series. The SERENITY film got too bogged down in action and had less of the character interplay that we loved about the show. But that’s probably a pipe-dream. And Fox desperately needs a franchise!

The HNBF Facebook page had just under 29,000 likes at midnight. Now the site is approaching 41,000!! Even if you think this is impossible, shouldn’t this make some studio execs take notice?

Even if Nathan doesn’t buy the rights hopefully Fox will realise it might be profitable to revive it themselves. Admittedly by showing support we’re making selling the rights even less appealing, but surely it’ll prove to them that a revival will make them some money?
