Greetings,
I certainly hope everyone has been having a great year and is looking forward to a great summer. i"m sure you all know by now that the next big thing for Firefly junkies will be the release of the DVD box set. Things to keep an eye out for: the three unaired episodes. the audio commentaries ( I did one with Joss for Serenity and with Alan for War Stories, I know the girls did one as well.) Adam Baldwin's rendition of The Hero of Canton (the man they call "me").
All looks great on the movie front. A recent dinner with cast members, Joss and the lovely Kai confirmed rumours that we will all be big damn movie stars. Thank you Joss.
Myself, I am still recovering from the heartbreak of Firefly being cancelled. I heard from somewhere something about a Fox industry promo showing what makes them so great inculded clips from Firefly. Interesting.
My dream? Every three years make a Firefly movie, like the Bond series- but they won't start to suck after a while.
Be Good,
Nathan "Tightpants" Fillion

PS
Everyone say hi to my folks. They are on here all the time.

Oh man, that's a great idea. I was kinda sad when the talk started turning towards a movie instead of a continuation of the series, because a movie is just a one-shot deal. but if we can get it to beome a movie *franchise*.... well, now you're talking Francine....

We *HAVE* to make sure this movie tops $100 Million. Have to. Whatever it takes.
Buying whole theaters for ourselves.
Over and over.
Conning people into buying tickets for that movie. Dragging them in.
Blackmailing people...

Anything... everything...

I'm not complaining, but I don't think I can wait 9 years for 6 more hours of Firefly.

CAPTAINMAL

Totally agreed.

I'm not a person who wants to wait three years at a time for a film, I want a movie, yes, but darn it I want my weekly fix too.

Can't I have BOTH?

THAT would be shiny!

I agree, we need the series back. If we want movies it can be like Star Trek, movies and series at the same time, except I think one series is enough.

Gambit has pretty much summed it up. To get our show back, Browncoats must:
(1) Help maximize DVD sales by spreading the word, buying them as gifts, recommending them as gifts, etc.
(2) Convince as many people as possible to go to the movie.

Seems like we should all get crazy and start a new Browncoat Mission.

We've got 6 months until the DVD and almost 2 years until the movie. I think Sarah should be in charge.

Yeah... so many of my friends, when I mention the DVD or the movie, respond with "but I thought they canceled that show??"

Fox merely chose not to grace their airways with Firefly. Its very much NOT canceled.

HOOOYAAAHH.

Alla y'all Browncoats in ole Detroit and vicinity, just shout out and we'll have movie-parties.

What the hell, it worked for RHPS (tho I detest it.), so I am sure we can spread the browncoat word - even my puny collection of five episodes and the pilot on grainy low quality VHS is enough to have friends drooling, rapt with anticipation of something WORTH WATCHING...

Too bad they get pissed and throw things at me when I tell em Fox cancelled it, as if I was yankin their chain or something - it's Fox what yanked the chain, and here's the real word.

They'll be sorry.

I Love My Captn' Tightpants!

Very shiny news indeed! However, I think I am going to have to save some money to travel when the movie premeirs. Have to be with friends when I see it. And since I seem to be quite alone in my fanship here in Iowa, I will have to go somewhere else.

Now let me see, where could I go........

.....Utah maybe?

Hell yeah!

Well, I'm sure if the movie is anywhere near as good as the series I'll see it myself two or three times at least :)

I've convinced two people to watch the entire series that never would have, and getting people to see a movie is a lot easier!

OH ! I can't wait to see the movie

I would rather have a weekly dose of Firefly, but a franchise of movies is great too !

Maybe in the future, after a few Firefly movies, a tv series can happen. By that time, FOX will be kicking themselves "Why are we rating-hungry-****"

Hooray for Cap'n Tightpants (Nopants?)!! I love the fact that he and Adam keep up on the message boards!

I'm going to be so psyched to see a Firefly movie!

Larger than life -- a new "episode" -- pure unadulterated bliss!

Anybody care to guess the rating of this movie? I'd like R but I bet we get PG-13.

Love you Sarah! Thanks so much for postin' this! always good to hear from our belove Captain Tightpants! Maybe we should invite him to the Shindig

(wishful thinking).

When the Firefly movie comes out, I am going to drag along every person I know. I've already begun addicting them to Firefly (that reminds me, I've got to get those tapes back from Ana), lending out my tapes and such, and I think I'm making quite a few converts.

As for the DVDs... I will buy my copys then stand outside the store telling everybody who walks in to buy them and watch them, whether they've seen Firefly before or not!

Sorry about that, it is sort of an inside joke. A couple if the guys here are in Utah.

Texas sounds nice tho.

But no planes. I'm a driver, not a flyer.

Hey, after the movie franchise has been on for a while, maybe the TV reincarnation will return as "Firefly: The Next Generation".

Always real interesting to check in first thing in the morning to see the end of the night's taglog. Makes me feel like a voyeur.

As for doing something, let's do it. What have we got to lose? I might decline being in charge, Succatash, cos I'm not very good at organizing things or telling people what to do, but I'll do whatever it is we can think of to do.

Them as can, right?
