Nathan Fillion posts at official board by Haplo721

Confused now....

I just got a blurb from FF:IA that said that Gina said that Firefly won't go into production...but you can see her blah, blah, blah.

Someone help me out? Throw me a bone?

Never give up on Joss!

Remember when the Buffy movie was made?

Joss said that he lost control of the script and the production, and when it came out in theaters, he sat there in the dark and cried. He was so angry.

Then... how many years went by? And Joss never gives up. He brings *his* Buffy to TV Land, and the rest is history.

When Joss is on a mission, the naysayers will eat their words.

Serenity will fly again...Joss says so.

That's true. Casting Dillon from 90210 was pretty harsh, and the movie bit the big one compared to the TV series, but I don't understand...

Cap'n said that something is happening soon, and the XO said that it's not in production.

Who's right?

Never give up, LA. Never surrender.

In the "Ask Joss 100 questions" thread somebody asks something to the effect of "Is Firefly over?" And his answer is 'God, I hope not.' Somebody copied and pasted it right in.

Keep this vigil with us, okay?

Well, Nate, you done went and got us all stirred up now. So much so that I have to write this post and hope you happen to catch it.
I'm sure we're all thinking the same things here - something like "Are you serious? Really? No kiddin'?" So one understandably has to ask if that was really you and also if you could give us a spoonfull of marrow with that bone you threw us yesterday. Like, say, out of 10 how would you rate this mystery effort Joss is on? Also, we're all a mite confused about the contradictions your revelation poses, namely Gina going into other work and you being contracted by NBC. It hurts. It hurts GOOD, but it hurts. :)
Much thanks!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

This is truly GREAT news!

Nathan seems very optimistic, and he speaks as if he is flexible enough to work Firfly in whatever incarnation it comes back in.

Did anyone else notice that he did not mention the contract w/ NBC? He made it sound as if he is still looking. Do you suppose that is just for the lag time until NBC comes up w/ a show for him?

Could be he's auditioning for different NBC shows.

Sarah, I'm not giving up, just confused. Nathan is saying one thing, Gina is saying another, I need more than wishful thinking to know what's going on.

I got my DVDs from TRS80, so at least I have that, I'm going to the shindig, and I LIVE on this great board that Haken (giggle

sorry, still got that story in my head) made up. I'm not giving up, but some reality would help.

I am a little confused too. Where did this info come from?

Gina's exact quote is "We are cancelled. We won't be on TV."

Which doesn't preclude Firefly coming back in a different format.

From my Firefly: Immediate Assistance News Letter:

Quote:
Gina Torres told Sci-Fi Wire that Firefly will not return to
production. You can, however, see her in Angel later this season.

got it in my email this morning.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Keep in mind LA, that Gina made that quote several weeks ago in an interview. The following week she spoke about her role on another show and mentioned how Joss was still working on FF and that "something was cooking". The thread was on her last week somewhere.

I would say that the most recent news, Nathan's, is probably the most accurate.

Here are those threads LA:

Gina Torres quote from Sci Fi Wire:

[link] http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=1522 [/link]

Gina Torres gets job, says Firefly NOT dead!:

[link] http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=1535 [/link]

So as you can see, the story kind of shifts around over the course of 2 weeks. Not sure if it is misquotes, Joss has the cast keeping things quiet, or whatever, but there are two different statements by the same person.

"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

Great timing LOSTANGEL. I was reading all the posts from the top to the bottom then I read your post "OK, I can go on breathing now!" Then I realised I was holding my breath. So, I took a breath.

Is this exciting or what!?!?!?!

Can someone provide a link to those "official" Fox boards for me? so I can see these bits of news when they come up instead of second hand...?

Haken's site is SO MUCH BETTER than Fox's board. I wouldn't be surprised if a major network contacts him for employment.

Has YOUR mom seen Firefly, lately?

I think what was reffered to was the original movie with Luke Perry and Kristie Swanson, then the 5-6 year gap until the series came about.

It might take years, but Joss will always find a way.

Wow, LA, was it 6 years between the (Buffy) movie and the series? And he kept his idea alive that long... and brought it back from the ultra-dead.

So I wouldn't write off anything when it comes to Firefly's potential.

It could turn out to be the "the Little Series that DID" -

I wouldn't be surprised if Joss makes a Firefly mini-series or movie of some kind, and it in turn spawns another series.

It could happen. I just wish we had some hotshot star banging a drum for Firefly on mainstream talk-TV.

Someone like Oprah...or errr... the Osbornes?

(Gosh I think I just scared myself!)

It could happen, folks. It could happen.

Firefly is just too SHINY to die.

Joss won't allow it.

That's the spirit.

I remember seeing the Buffy movie for 10 cents cos a brand new theatre was opening at the brand new mall (for those of y'all in Nashville, this will be the Galleria).

Flash foward these oh-so many years. If someone had told me, on my way into or out of that movie that 10 years later I would be ready to dedicate my life to a story by that same guy....

Well, I boggle at it.

I'm being melodramatic again, aren't I? I'll hush up.

Let's hope all the Matrix hype pushes it a little way into the limelight. Wouldn't it be great if we could get red-carpet interviews of the two of them and a reporter smart enough to mention Firefly? And then they run with it?!

Howdy - so it's March now, and I've seen no recent news updates on this, other than that Gina backed off a bit on her statement about two weeks ago, and that everybody is partying for the sake of it. Any rumors, tips, bones, fantasies? Is Josh still trying? Hope so. Thanks -F
