Joss Whedon’s Firefly was canceled in 2002, but don’t tell the Browncoats. These superfans continue to produce weekly podcasts and engage in live-action role-playing games inspired by the TV show. Browncoat Andrew Schultz recently raised $1,300 in 24 hours to help Fox produce a second season. Studio officials scoffed, saying that fan funding is "simply not a realistic scenario." But the Browncoats aren’t giving up. They’re looking into licensing the rights to create and distribute new Firefly episodes on DVD or on demand - an arrangement that would cost millions. "I have no doubt that there will be new stories, whether they are in comic book form, a movie, or a new TV series," Schultz says. "It’ll happen; it’s just too good to let die." 2 Forum messages |
