Joss Whedon wants 'Firefly' revival


Recommended Posts

Joss Whedon has admitted that he would still "love" to revive Firefly.

The cult sci-fi drama was axed by Fox after just 14 episodes, but was later revived by Avengers director Whedon for 2005 film Serenity.

"It's something I would love to do," Whedon told the Toronto Sun of a second Firefly movie.

"Part of me is like, 'God, it would be great when I finish Avengers 2 to do [a sequel]'."

The writer/director said that he would "never really accept" that Firefly is over for good.

"I always, in the back of my head, think, 'What if I could get the old gang back together?'," he admitted.

Firefly star Sean Maher - who played Simon Tam - recently voiced his support for a sequel to Serenity.

"A television show would be very tricky with all of our availability, and I don't think that's in the realm of possibility," Maher said in November. "But what about another movie?"

I think they should just leave it. His grand plan for the TV Show was pretty much the movies story arc, he already killed off a few characters. The bar is set so high I don't think he will be able to surpass it and it will end up tainting the TV Show and Serenity Movie.

I'd love for this to happen but Joss Whedon tends to do awful things to his characters after a few seasons (watch Buffy and Angel, or just see what he did to Wash) so I really do not want to see the crew put through that sort of torture. I say leave the series as is.

I don't know what they could do with a TV show but I'd love to see a sequel to Serenity. That, or another movie set in the Firefly universe. If The Avengers 2 is another huge success then maybe Joss Whedon can pull some strings.

I would love the TV series to start again. I wasn't much into it cuz it seemed a bit low budget but nowadays I'm sure it'd be done better.

The movie was absolutely awesome though.

For some reason I find Morena Baccarin extremely hot, especially in the V series.

The only thing I would say is that if they do another TV series then it should be set before the film's events so that Wash is still around. As to whether I want a series revival or another film...hmm, I think I'm on the fence about it. I can see pros and cons to doing either.

EDIT:

For some reason I find Morena Baccarin extremely hot, especially in the V series.

I'd argue that it's easy to find Morena Baccarin hot, although for me it wasn't from the V series...I couldn't get my head around the short cut hair (but she pulls it off well in Homeland though...odd).

I always worry when I hear things like this. Many of my favourite TV shows went out on top; Firefly, Angel (loved the darkness in that), Flash Forward, etc. I always worry as things will just not be the same....inevitably the crew have moved on to other things, so unless Joss can get his old writing staff back on board and the same casting crew for guest stars then I'm not sure it'd be as good.

Drew, David and co are all tied up in other things now...

....and yes, there is the "Wash" effect

    • This is weird. Mythos is more unrestricted compared to Fable. Technically it poses more risk!!
    • This is a great thing, I always have issues with Verizon while inside of certain football stadiums due to the saturation and walls blocking signal so a LOS way to connect would be great. Verizon was supposed to be offering sat data this year but I've not heard a word of it lately. Dude is sending rockets into space in a cheap manner, low waste foot print and has a great product with solar/battery tech. We would be so far behind China right now if not for him and a push to get back into space.
    • illegally? Proof of that? Seems you are posting misinformation or well a pure straight up lie cause there is zero proof of such a thing. But I get it...
