Nathan Fillion has broken fans’ hearts with a shocking news.
During his appearance at MCM Comic Con in London on Monday, July 27, the Superman star shared a disappointing update on the latest attempt to revive the beloved 2002 sci-fi series Firefly.
Fillion, who starred in the original 2002 Firefly and its 2005 sequel film Serenity, revealed during a panel with his former costar Alan Tudyk that the planned animated revival of the show is still being developed.
However, he clarified that he’s "not announcing a series, but announcing the development of the series,” which means that if the project does not get approved by any TV network or streaming service, it may never be produced or released.
"Boy, it takes a lot longer than one would hope," Fillion said, continuing, "The development to get a show onto a television network or streaming platform. It's not easy work, Alan, or else everyone would do it, right?"
Joining the conversation, Tudyk said, "It's in process much like developing photos when we were young. You go to a little box, guy who lives in a little house in a parking lot. That's how they would do it in the States, the Kodak part, and you drop them off to some guy who was certainly stoned, and you'd pick them up a little while later after he's done rifling through all of your personal images.”
"So, we're in the rifling through the personal images part. We're not ready to pick them up, but when we do, you will hear,” he added.
