"help nathan buy firefly"
Has anyone heard about this? Nathan Fillion star of firefly and castle recently stated in an interview that if he were to win $300 million in the lottery he'd buy the rights to firefly and distribute it online.
since then fans have started a group called "help nathan buy firefly" they've already raised almost $800,000 in pledges (there is no money changing hands as of yet) and they also have 110,000 fans on their facebook page which has existed for less then 2 weeks http://www.facebook.com/#!/HelpNathanBuyFF?sk=wall
The main idea is that the group want's to prove, via pledges, that there is a legitimate market for the show, and hopefully fox will either start the series again, or sell the rights to a different network so that we can get more firefly... I don't know if it will work, but it's just really cool to watch what's happening ^_^

I would love to see them make at least another movie though.
His comment was offhand, and he did say it was if he won the lottery - people raising money and making their own donations doesn't seem to be a good use for the money.
The Firefly fans are milked enough as of now.
The franchise must literally be considered undead, drained of its life but walking still!
Now this massively stupid idea comes up - just an idea, mind you - and the fans pledge 800.000 $. For what, seriously, for what?? As much as I love Firefly (and the series was incredible to say the least), if that is what comes from continued fan support, then please let it die. Stop flying. Stop the signal. Take the sky from these people. Now.
I wasn't familiar with Nathan before only that I heard Uncharted fans say that he should play Nathan Drake.
I started watching Castle because it was time for a new crime show and thought it was okay at first. But gradually you get so attached to the awesome cast of characters and it becomes apparent what a cool guy that Nathan is. He is a really convincing actor and has an unique charisma.
The over paid actors can get there own money,
And those people who gave 800,000 or whatever so a dude can buy a tv show are losers.
You clearly have not watched Firefly.
Its not like ONE person pledged that entire amount......
second, right now the average pledge is around $80, what most people are doing is pledging the amount of money that goes to entertainment monthly (movies, games, etc.) If it would ever get to the point where they actually do decide to call in the pledges and actually buy firefly, the people will simply sacrifice their entertainment for 1 month... is it really fair to condemn their usage of their months entertainment budget by saying "they should give it to charity" especially since firefly is something that, if brought back, they can enjoy for years to come.
This.
Step One: Raise money.
Step Two: Give to Nathan Fillion to buy Firefly property rights.
Step Three: Raise more money to give to Nathan Fillion to pay for actually making another movie/show?
On second thought; agreeing with Fawful.
