No matter at what point during the movie the song is played through the speakers, I can almost guarantee one thing. . .

every browncoat in the theatre will stand and sing along. . .not boisterous and obnoxious, but very respectfully, paying homage. Hell. . .we might even put our hands over our hearts.

Universal owns USA and Sci-Fi Channel. ]

And Universal is now owned by NBC. There's one fly in this ointment. Joss is still operating under the terms of an exclusive made-for-tv deal with 20th-Century Fox studios. Universal could not produce a Firefly television series until that deal expires...

I'd like to hear the original Firefly theme song when the movie credits roll, because it guides the story back to television land.

They could just get Ralph Stanley to do the theme song. He could be the old man on the porch.

Then again, "Man of Constant Sorrow" would work in the context of "Serenity"....

I would say that the initial weekend business by Firefly fans going multiple times might be at most $25 million. From the general audience, let's hope for $10 million more. That would equal the production budget recouped in a weekend and would be fantastic on a relative scale. But a movie based on a defunct television show without any major stars is never going to do the $80 to $100 million opening that we're seeing this summer. There's no way it's going to blow the lid off attendance records.

It's also not FOX executives who need to decide to produce more television episodes--it's the 20th-Century Fox studios. I suppose one scenario might be that a Universal-allied network like SciFi might strike a deal with 20th to broadcast new tv episodes or miniseries or movies of the week.

However, from everything I've read in the trade papers, the deal for Universal to get to make Firefly features was that Firefly not return as a television show until that option was up.

So, yes, I think you're being too optimistic. On the other hand, I never thought we'd see a feature film in a million years, so ya never know.

except for that whole "i bid farewell to old kentucky" part. lol Mal would have to be pretty damn old to be doing that.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
MAL: This is my scrap of nowhere. You go on and find your own.
SAFFRON: You can't just leave me here, on this
lifeless piece of crap moon...
MAL: Sure I can.
SAFFRON: I'll die.
MAL: Well, as a courtesy, you might start
getting busy on that, cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

The movie will open with the aftermath of the battle of Serenity, just as the last of the browncoats are finally being picked up by Alliance transports.

The song will be sung around a fire a cappella by wounded soldiers as the Allience rolls in.

As the highest ranking surviving resistance fighter, Mal is brought in for interogation. As he is heared onto a ship, fairly well broken, we see Mal walk by a commanding Alliance officer without really look at him. But we, the audience, will get a good look at the officer.

It is Book.

Cut to a reaction shot of Book as the camera pans back to survay the utter devestation and suffering of the remaining soldiers.

Roll opening credits with full version of song. As the credits roll, we will see a montage of clips from the TV show that will catch eveyone up to date with our story thus far so that even those who have not seen the show will be able to launch right into the mocie fully up tp speed.
