There's something disturbing about the woman in your avatar Dream.
Whedon thought to himself "Oh shit, now they're going to actually expect me to do this.".
Poor Whedon. Just when he starts to see a degree of success...
I don't think he'd be unhappy to at all to do another Firefly film. He loves the actors and the universe like family. I guess the hard part would be to figure out what everybody would be doing 10 years later. Sure, Mal may still be a tramp freighter captain, and Kaylee may still be his mechanic because she loved the life, and there's no reason for Zoe to have moved on either. But Jayne always wanted his own ship; River and Simon's need to flee has been removed, so none of them should still be hanging around. There's a chance Mal and Inara finally hooked up and maybe she's still traveling with him, hopefully having switched trades...
Thanks for the suggestion, Temis. Now look what you've done. I hate Joss Whedon. I hate Firefly and hated Serenity. It was a good movie in principle but It was Blake's Seven not to mention a story of mine which I had floating around guys like Manny coto for years. People don't just do things for others for money, but sometimes for clout.
Whedon is an angry light weight hack. He does things for money. Ridley Scott has lost it upstairs and is being comendeered and controlled by greedy mediocre predators. He's lost his starch and backbone too by these amorphous monsters from Bad Robot that he works with.

Somehow this is my fault? 
Joss, I as only kidding, honest!
Using kickstarter to fund big-screen movies is the wrong idea. Theater owners aren't going to be impressed at some niche-market frenzy because that isn't their business. They want a mainstream audience that will fill theaters on opening weekend all across the country and more importantly, buy lots of overpriced popcorn. A few million rabid fans isn't going to fill theaters, no matter how enthused they are. Serenity's mediocre box office was about what you'd expect for a niche fanbase.
Instead, make a 13 episode season and put it on streaming, via your own site, Netflix or Amazon or Hulu or all of the above. That's the best venue for fan-backed content like this. Leave the theater owners to their tentpoles and jujubees.
