Fox Interested in Firefly Reboot


http://www.slashfilm.com/fox-firefly-reboot/

Some highlights from the article.

During a panel last month at the TCA 2017, Madden told Rotten Tomatoes he’s open to a Firefly reboot (via TV Overmind). Of course, he’s only interested if Whedon wants to do it, and Whedon is busy with movies. Madden doesn’t want more episodes of Firefly without The Avengers: Age of Ultron director.

...

There’s also the matter of whether Whedon would want to make more episodes of Firefly, which he’s always held the same position on: he’d do it if it felt right and when the cast is freed up from their busy schedules. First and foremost, Whedon wants to tell another story, not just find an excuse to get together with his friends.

Years ago he said he’d take another look at the idea when Fillion isn’t starring in Castle anymore, which is now the case, and when he’s no longer “the Tom Hagen of the Marvel Universal,” which he’s not anymore. He said he “might look and see where the market is then.”

Whedon should get Fox to foot the bill for a treatment and scripts, with Fox ownership subject to a signed contract for a full season.

Once all the prep work is done, then he should pitch it to Netflix for a 3-year deal, and if they sign tell Fox to *beep* off.

Wow. I haven't seen one of you "how dare you have hope" people on here in a while.
I'm just passing on information. No need to get upset.

Will plans for a reboot be cancelled too?
I'd riot and probably end up chained up like Hannibal Lecter.

It won't be the same without Ron Glass.

With Book already dead in the movie, they won't have to explain his absence.

As much as I want more Firefly, I'm happy with what we got. The 1 season is so special I honestly don't feel the need for any more. Plus no Ron Glass, as has been mentioned :(

Heh yeah well if I was Whedon, I'd tell them to go fuck themselves.
Now that they are desperate and becoming more irrelevant by the minute, with crappy by the numbers network shows that can't compete with cable and Netflix, and because they have axed so many shows that nobody trusts them to keep shows going anymore... NOW they want to reboot Firefly? lol

Probably with a teenage cast too. As long as they get Whedon for the name.

I'd tell them "sorry, I'm working on another Avengers movie, so long"
