"Would Whedon do online episodes set in the Firefly 'verse again? Yes, says Whedon . . . it would make dozens and dozens of dollars. Fillion notes that it would be great because Whedon has already killed off all the characters he doesn't like working with. And he put on a cute Captain Mal accent for us. Nice."

Awesome confirmation of our best hopes !

If Whedon builds it , the fans will fly it !
For LOVE , if not Mega-Bucks...

But , if inflation is factored in , those dozens of dollars WILL be Millions !

Obviously , Nate was taking another dig at Alan with that bit of wacky fun...

Thanks for the post...Best bit of News since , like , EVER !

Thanks for posting this. Joss seems older and wiser about his Firefly experience (but aren't we all) but not any less creatively driven.

I've been hoping/wondering if this was a test-shot for JossWeb: The Return Of Firefly. I hope it really is, even if we just get shorts.

and speaking of shorts, I may have just wet myself with glee.

Never give up. Never surrender. Oh, wait, that is another movie.

Let's think about it and take a look at what is happening with Dr. Horrible.

42 minute episode.
iTunes release.
DVD loaded with extras.
2nd possible DVD.
Soundtrack.

We hold 'til Mal gets back.

actually i am wondering more about fan films
such as intotheblack and bellflower -
given the success of Dr Horrible but more so The Guild
is it more likely that these will come to fruition?

I can image Fillion guesting on Intotheblack...
pretty sure he'd be up for it.

Yeah, it does sound that way - him not expecting any return on investment if Firefly was given a go ahead.

Another nail in the coffin.

Whoa !

...Howdy !

Can't you guys get the joke ?

A runaway team of horses couldn't stop Whedon from making more Firefly , so a little coin sure isn't going to stand in the way !

AND now on Hulu.com. Free for the viewers, paid for by the advertisers. Could be this business model might be the avenue for at least some new glimpses of the 'Verse, if the whole thing can be scaled up, mebbe with some angel investors.

and

http://drhorrible.com

Exactly. Joss Whedon did Dr. Horrible with his own money for the love of the art and to test the waters. See if he could really make something on his own and make money at it.

And Firefly/Serenity. Firefly/Serenity has plenty of love. Joss loves Firefly/Serenity. The actors love Firefly/Serenity. The actors and Joss love it more than we do...really. The actors and Joss love working together. And then there is us.

And Joss is getting a feel for just how much money his work brings in. He is seeing all the figures. iTunes sales. T-shirt sales. Advertising internet money. Soon Soundtrack sales, DVD sales etc. etc.

Anyway please! Want more Firefly/Serenity.

On Dr. Horrible, also maybe there will be money coming in from the songs being played on the radio too.

Not really, if you translate him to English, what he says is "I wouldn't mind, but nobody is going to pay for it"

Whedon has said it numerous times , in innumerable ways , he would do Firefly with SOCK PUPPETS if he had to...

And , I would pay to watch !

I'm surprised that we're still so tolerant of the sayers of 'nay'...

Should oughta kick 'em out the AIRLOCK !

In case Whedon's English ain't plain enough for ya , here's a dose of Nate Fillion , re: 'Horrible'...

" I think it can be said that Dr Horrible was a tremendous success. More than just an incredible project to enjoy, but a more than important view of entertainment to come. This is the future, everybody. This is a window into how things will be when the control is finally wrested from the moneyed claws of big business and placed, nay, returned to the caring hands of the creators. "

New Business Model = NEW FIREFLY !

bad horse still says neigh.

Joss pulled in favours to get Doctor horrible done on the cheap and there were few special effects and the show still came to cost in the "lower six figures" region.

Now Firefly requires a little more than what Doctor Horrible needed:

1. Actual studio/sets that are paid for.
2. Actual actors that are paid for.
3. Writers that are paid for.
4. Much more special effects that are paid for.
5. All that other stuff that I have no other idea.

It may work out cheaper than the original series did, but it would still be a high cost show.

The problem is money. Joss has pretty much said he does not see the money. He himself may be willing to do it with little financial profit for him, but what about the rest?

Joss can count on Nathan. Joss counted on him for Dr. Horrible.

Maybe the Parliament captures Mal and for two hours the Parliament agrues about what to do with Mal. Parliament turns out to be all of Joss' family and friends. There could be singing.

All the fans have to do is Step 1 from the list...

Form a Corporation , Purchase the land , and begin building infrastructure , Firefly-class Ship Set...

Folk would pay to visit , get their pictures made , etc.

Wouldn't hurt in attracting an Angel Investor (Jeff Bezos) , either...

If we build it , they will come...

That's the nature of effective leadership...

Begin with First things first...
