Hard to believe people are signing petitions to try and get the rights to Firefly. Browncoats would have a better chance at winning the lottery.
But, good luck in your quest. I think you may need all you can get.

I'm surprised someone hasn't jumped into the direct-to-video episodic DVD market. It looks like it might happen with Futurama, but I'm not holding my breath for that. There was talk of a 24 spin off a long time ago, and then a bunch of Buffyverse rumors.

Loved the show, but not going to sign the petition. Sorry this show is over. It did not do good enough the theaters I hear to make another movie. joss has moved on, we all might as well.

The series is done. Whedon has said so himself.
If the universe continunes it'll be in the form of comic books or sequels to Serenity (let them be direct-to-video, on television, or in theaters).

Although I wouldn't mind a movie explaining Book's past but that's just me

Firefly already had one miraculous resurrection, and if I remember correctly the results were less than stellar. Hoping for another one is just wishful thinking. A petition will only confirm what everyone already knows; that there's a small, dedicated group of fans that love Firefly. It just isn't enough, unfortunately.

As much as I loved the show and movie, time to let it go like others have said. Do we really want to drag it down completely to where it becomes laughable and shitty?

I saw the film and caught the first few TV episodes. It was ok, but I don't see how it warranted the nutty fan-base I see on this forum. But have seen worse Sci-Fi make it. I didn't like it enough to "Fill out your Recruit Profile now"

The movie raps up everything pretty nicely IMO. Too many of the main characters died for me to want it to continue forward from Serenity. It is done as far as I'm concerned. I love what there is, all in one nice little (albeit too brief) package that being the series and the movie.

Ditto. Loved the series and the movie, but after seeing several key figures die in the film, I knew the saga would not be able to continue and work the way it once did. Whedon said that he feels that chapter in his life is over, and aside from watching DVDs, it is for me as well. I will not sign the petition, as it is just a feeble attempt.

Joss Whedon lets ''Firefly'' go -- The ''Serenity'' director may turn to ''Buff the Vampire Slayer'' for his next big-screen project by Jeff Jensen
When Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon looks back on 2005, he can take comfort in knowing that his film-directing debut, the sci-fi Western Serenity, resurrected his canceled-too-soon cult classic TV series Firefly, and was also one of the year's best-reviewed movies. ''I should say I'm above reading reviews,'' he says. ''But I would be lying.'' Alas, Whedon's fond memories are also tainted by Serenity's status as a franchise nonstarter; despite Universal's best marketing efforts, the film only mustered $25 million. ''In the end, it was what it was: a tough sell,'' says Whedon, adding that it appears the Firefly saga has reached its conclusion. He has no regrets — and he's moving on. He's currently penning a Wonder Woman flick for Warner Bros., and has the thriller Goners set up at Universal; he'll direct whichever...

I have to admit..... regardless of how much money it made, Firefly did conclude on a milestone-type status in Hollywood.
Cancelled TV series (of only 13 episodes) gets it's very own Big Screen Movie.
I don't think you can top that.

Joss Whedon @ Whedonesque:
All right, now I have to jump in and set the record straight. EW is a fine rag, but they do take things out of context. Obviously when I said I had ’closure’, what I meant was "I hate Serenity, I hated Firefly, I think my fans are stupid and Nathan Fillion smells like turnips." But EW’s always got to put some weird negative spin on it. But so we’re clear once and for all: If you read a quote saying "I’d love to do more in this ’verse with these actors in any medium" all I’m saying is that Nathan has a turnipy odor. It’s not his fault, he doesn’t eat a lot of them but everyone else in the cast noticed it and tht’s not really something I’m prepared to deal with any more. And Jewel said outright she wouldn’t do scenes with him except stuff like the SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER funeral scene which was outside in a high SPOILER wind. So if I do manage to find another incarnation for my beloved creation, it will have been totally against my will.
I hope that clears everything up. Oh, and when I say I want to do a Spike movie, it means I have a bunion on my toe.

Ultimately, you know, I’m just waiting to see how things fall out. The DVD sales will, of course, affect the future of the “Serenity” world...or universe, I should say. But I can’t predict that any better than I could predict what would happen at the box office, so I’m just waiting to see, and I’ll just keep waiting until someone comes to me and says, “More TV! More movies!” Or whatever it is. Whatever format it is. If it’s a chance to work with these actors again, to live in this world again, I’m there!
I have it in my head that I’m not finished.
And what about Da Fyoocha? (And why did I need Arnold to say that?) I have no idea. It could be that this tale is told. Or it could be that down the line, dollars accumulate and some exec says, "let’s spin that wheel again." Or who knows. I’m not resting my hopes on it, but it’s not a concept I’ll ever close the book on.
I’ll do my best to tell stories that cause as much trouble as this one did. And if I ever get the chance to return to this one... in case it was ever unclear due to shoddy journalism, sign me right the hell up.
The question remains: Did Early die out there in space, or did some passing ship show up at the last second? There’s no answer yet, but I sure as hell know how I’d write it.
It’s not that there HAS to be a sequel. It’s just that I’ve got so many IDEAS...

I agree Serenity kind of killed any hope of moving forward with the series for me as my favorite character got deaded... But the idea of prequels dealing with each of the characters is always nice... Kind of like the current "Lost" tv show with all the flashbacks about who the people really are. Anyway, I like Firefly and enjoyed Serenity so I added my vote for a season 2. Took literally one minute to do and the worst that can happen is um nothing? Best that can happen? More Firefly and Serenity...

Eh. The story has been told. It would have been great if Whedon had been given an opportunity to tell it over a few seasons like he intended, but he had two hours instead. It's done.

Joss has not said the Firefly/Serenity world is over. He hasn't said it will continue. The door is still open. It probably will never happen, but it hasn't been ruled out as at least a remote possibility.
