Whedon Ditches 'Firefly' Script for New Draft?
"...we knew that the movie became held up back at the end of December. The original script was shelved and Joss wrote something else entirely. Something less of an epilogue and more of a potential springboard to a series return. Due to that and some other time constraints and projects, there was signifigant delay. Distribution stuff bogged down the works. Look for a few more official type snippets at the usual sources... "
"You will be hearing some stuff on the OB towards the end of this month... All the plans etc are still in place, they were just delayed while details were ironed out.
"There is still more legal stuff to get through, but I trust that Joss will deliver us the Big Damn Movie and makes us proud.
