y42 writes, According to a Sci Fi Wire interview with Nathan Fillion, there is definatly a DVD in the works (details are given), and there is a possibility of a silver screen Firefly movie! Let us rejoice : )

It’s a long way from an official word, but if this turns out to be accurate, I’ll need to budget for yet another movie in whatever year it comes out, not to mention the most special edition DVD they care to release.

This Ain’t It Cool News article says that Fox Home Entertainment’s plans for Firefly on DVD amount to a full season set in the 16:9 aspect ratio. That includes unaired episodes. No release date or official announcement has been given.

TV Shows on DVD has confirmed that Fox is talking about Firefly on DVD. Hoo-rah! “A Firefly DVD” is coming. I don’t know if that’s the pilot movie or the entire season, but I’ll be picking it up either way, if only to encourage a full season release.

Could just be a random message board posting, but… on Fox’s official Firefly board (yup, it’s still running), someone claiming to be Mark Sheppard (who played Badger in two episodes of Firefly) says that the UK’s SciFi channel will be airing Firefly in May. (The little gavel icon in that posting allegedly means that the poster really truly is associated with the show, for what little that may be worth.)

Collecting tidbits announced over the last few weeks: Nathan Fillion, who played captain Mal Reynolds on Firefly, has signed on for a recurring role on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Gina Torres, who played the second in command on Firefly, has signed on for a recurring role on Angel. Finally, Alan Tudyk, who played the pilot on Firefly, has been cast in a film adaptation of Asimov’s I, Robot.

Remember, it was an episode of Firefly that received the one and only perfect score given out in a Bureau 42 review (since we started counting out of 42, at least.) I want the Firefly category to get a lot more use!

rickyjames writes, As reported on Sci-Fi Today, UPN has decided to pass on picking up Firefly for continued episode production. Fans are reorganizing to continue their quest to find Serinity and crew a new home. Three final episodes of Firefly are completed but have not been aired; no word on when, or even if, they will be broadcast. This was my favourite show this season. Not just my favourite new show, but my favourite show. It needs to find a home on a network with viewers that like to think so it can thrive.

This was the original, unaired two hour pilot episode. It also sounds like it may be the last episode ever broadcast.

There are a couple of spoilerish spots in this review. Here’s the spoiler-free version: a perfect score of 42 out of 42.
