Back when we discussed this movie in May, we had some definite casting in mind:

"If only Gil Gerard had really fallen into a coma back in the late 70s after being exposed to some kind of gas, then we could resuscitate him now. That'd be killer. Obviously, my mind turns immediately to Bruce Campbell or Nathan Fillion. I doubt Fillion would want to get into another spaceship at this point, but you never know.

"As for the women, you have some flexibility. The budget restraints mean some of the big names are out of the question, but since I just mentioned Nathan Fillion, what about his Slither co-star, the lovely Elizabeth Banks as Col. Wilma Deering and for the hell of it, Fillion's Firefly filly Morena Baccarin as Ardala?"

This whole statement makes me all a-flutter.
But why would he thing Fillion doesn't want to get back in a spaceship? And that's not a rhetorical question -- I'm genuinely curious.

I'm not sure how I'd feel about watching Nathan & Morena in a campy production. Firefly never felt campy to me (except a few rare moments). Humorous, but not campy.
Then again, Nathan played Captain Hammer (corporate tool!) perfectly. So maybe he does have cheez in his veins.
I guess what I'm saying is -- I'm torn. But when it comes down to it, if either one were cast in the show, I'd watch it as faithfully as I possibly could.
