Firefly Revival Confirmed

[Artamo]

Fill me in. I don’t recall hearing about anyone else involved in the project.

Adam Baldwin was one of the most high profile people behind Gamergate years ago, and has made a lot of homophobic remarks on social media. Not someone I would want to associate with regardless of the project.

Crossing fingers, toes, and appendages.
Oh crap. Adam Baldwin. sighs

 

[jian]

I don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum but yeah, I don’t want or need this. Best of luck to those who do.

Adam Baldwin has an unfortunate track record of not treating other people particularly well. Specifically women.

 

[Umbran]

Sure whatever Parmandur

I mean, he hasn't done anything since the flop that was The Nevers. It isn't like Hollywood is beating down his door these days.

Feels like a desperate attempt to keep Wash in the cast.

Well, Wash was a fan favorite, and part of the core crew dynamic. I don't know that the show works without him, to be honest.

Which I have mixed feelings about. He was critical to the mix, and Alan Tudyk is great. But this also drastically limits any development they can do to any characters or plotlines.

Yeah, you can fit some story in there, but unless they pull scifi shenanigans not normally seen in the show, there's a pretty hard limit presented... largely by River's stated age in the movie, I think.

Ah. Unfortunate.
