This is some of what Joss Whedon said March 14, 2013 at www.buzzfeed.com/adambvary/joss-whedon-on-kickstarter-and-firefly
Before you start reading, Joss refers to himself as "the Tom Hagen of the Marvel Universe." Hagan was originally to have been featured in The Godfather Part III, but was written out because of a financial disagreement between the actor and the film's producers. Coppola has stated that Part III was originally planned to feature a split between Michael and Hagen as its central plot, as seeds of dissension were planted in the first two films. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Hagen
Should Joss ask too much money for himself in Avengers Part III, he will be gone from Disney and available for more Firefly. But until then . . . he ain't available.

ABV: So, what does this mean for Firefly?

JW: That's what everybody wants to know about. Uh, yeah. My fourth feeling when I read about [the Veronica Mars Kickstarter campaign] was a kind of dread. Because I realized the only thing that would be on everybody's mind right now. I've said repeatedly that I would love to make another movie with these guys, and that remains the case. It also remains the case that I'm booked up by Marvel for the next three years, and that I haven't even been able to get Dr. Horrible 2 off the ground because of that. So I don't even entertain the notion of entertaining the notion of doing this, and won't. Couple years from now, when Nathan [Fillion]'s no longer [on] Castle and I'm no longer the Tom Hagen of the Marvel Universe and making a giant movie, we might look and see where the market is then. But right now, it's a complete non-Kickstarter for me.

ABV: I think you would need at least 10 times the budget of what the Veronica Mars folks are asking for their movie to make a Firefly movie make sense.

JW: Yes. We come to Veronica Mars to hear her talk and hear her father talk. But Firefly/Serenity, it's kind of a different animal — and then there's also the question of what kind of animal it is. Because some people are talking about Firefly episodes. Some people are talking about [a new] Serenity. I think anything we could get off the ground would be appreciated by the fans. But what form it would take is I think under some debate.

For me, [Kickstarter] doesn't just open the floodgates. God knows, things are cheaper now than when we made even Serenity. Good effects can be done in a different manner. Nor is that universe all about spectacle either. But it is a tad more expensive — and a little all-consuming! And of course, there's the other fear: What if it's not that good? I can do something that's not that good — that's fine. But if I do that and it's not that good, I'm going to feel really stupid.

Because I'm too busy to deal with it, I did have a moment of just, Oh my god! I'm in trouble now. I've always said, "Yes, I'd love to do another one," and it's still true. But I sort of got slapped in the face with it. Or probably will.

ABV: Well at least you have a good excuse to kick the can down the road a bit, since you're, how did you put it, the Tom Hagen of Marvel Universe? That's a great metaphor.

JW: (laughs) That's how I see it. At some point, [Marvel Studios chief] Kevin Feige is going to turn to me and say, "You're out, Joss."

SHINYGOODGUY

First time I've ever seen this dude, but I too like what he brought to the table. A little bit manic, but entertaining. I loved his review, he touched upon a lot and it didn't feel like 16 minutes.

Brilliant idea using the voices of the actors, but I think it can be done with original cast only it won't look the same, but it would definitely feel the same. River, as he says, is key.

That was awesometacular!
