From Chris Buchanan, president of “Mutant Enemy” (the production company for Firefly):
We are getting pretty close on the movie and hopefully we’ll have some “official” news soon. It seems that the DVDs are doing really well (e.g. better than Fox anticipated) and that there have been significant re-orders (an unusual thing for this type of program). Of course, we weren’t that surprised but what can you do.
We really appreciate all of the fan efforts on the show’s behalf and I am personally helping out on the DVDs to soldiers’ project. So just tell everybody and thanks for all their efforts. I read the boards daily and all of the great local input (where the DVDs are sold out, what the reviewers are saying about the set, etc.) is always helpful.
Universal seems to be willing to make the movie (crossing fingers, touching wood, lighting candles), but we still have a few (non-creative) hurdles to cross.

Huzzah!
I believe we’re due for an announcement about Babylon 5 this week as well (at least, that’s what was said in November or December). So maybe we’ll have double the good news!
