Well, not all. Ron Glass ("Book") and Alan Tudyk ("Wash") can't come back after their characters are killed.Meloncov said:

Riiight, like Tudyk have a major film deal lined up for him, billing himself as the "next Michael Douglas."Richards said:
I'm afraid your reference went right over my head. 
Did Michael Douglas make a lot of prequels?
Anyway, I remember hearing that prequels were one possibility. Joss made Serenity, and if it made enough money and he got the go-ahead to make further movies in the same universe, he could go back and fill in some of the time between the end of Firefly and the start of Serenity.
Not that that's necessarily what he's planning now or anything; just something that he had considered when making Serenity.

Joss already filled out the time between Firefly and Serenity, in the Serenity comic book miniseries, titled "Those Left Behing". In it we see Inara and Book leaving the ship, and Mal becoming the hardass he was at the start of Serenity.Richards said:I'm afraid your reference went right over my head.

No, I mean Tudyk is too busy to be bothered with the next Serenity film.Richards said:I'm afraid your reference went right over my head.
But since Brent Spiner is not going to be on the JJ Abrams Trek film, maybe Joss should call him to play (an albeit older) Wash.

I agree with you on these points. The movie came to be because it was Joss's last chance to tell the Firefly story.

I honestly think the way the situation played out was for the best. Maybe one more season could have worked, but like most TV series, if it was a success it would have kept going on and on until it became crap.
Joss set his story up in the TV series and had to hurry up and finish it in the movie. I would have liked 10 minutes more info on the preacher, but the operative character was really cool in my book. The biggest disappointment with the movie, besides River going Buffy, was we did not get to see the operative commit seppuku at the end.

Very sad news. I was hoping against hope that the movie might herald some sort of re-launch of the TV series.Flexor the Mighty! said:
The Firefly universe is one of the most original and engaging sci-fi settings I have come accross in a long, long time.
I think the TV execs who got the series cancelled due to their incredibly bad and nearsighted programming choices should be forced to buy and eat copies of the movie until in becomes profitable...
