This week, it was announced that Firefly would be rerun on TV, in HD. Entertainment Weekly spoke to Nathan Fillion, who plays the main character Mal Reynolds, after the announcement. They asked if he'd ever reprise his role as Mal, naturally he said yes and added this little tidbit: "If I got $300 million from the California Lottery, the first thing I would do is buy the rights to Firefly, make it own my own, and distribute it on the Internet."
This being the same internet where you can campaign for a Robocop statue to be built in Detroit, you can now help Nathan Fillion Buy Firefly. How? Why? After the Jump.
A website has been set up inorder to help Nathan reach his ultimate dream, by visiting Help Nathan Fillion Buy Firefly. If you are still reading after that insanity, here's the plan......
Phase 1) Generate momentum. We're going to setup a way people can pledge funding towards the mission of putting the rights to Firefly back into the hands of people who care about it. Since Nathan said he'd be game to be those hands, we're going to watch for …
Phase 2) Nathan chimes in towards us and approves the effort. At that point, it's a real mission and we'll switch into…
Phase 3) We'll setup a way for the funding to be collected into a Non-Profit Organization. We'll then want everyone to make good on their pledge and contribute.
Normally, I mock campaigns like these. But gosh darn it I want some new Firefly, and I love Nathan Fillion. If it means going with the insanity, I'll pop into Arkham Asylum.
Firefly will premiere on the Science Channel on March 6th at 8 PM (in the original intended order — and with an HD upgrade). Firefly will then air every Sunday.
