– Joss Whedon gives up on Firefly: “‘In the end, it was what it was: a tough sell,’ says Whedon, adding that it appears the Firefly saga has reached its conclusion.”

And Joss Whedon on EW…

Basically…
“All right, now I have to jump in and set the record straight. EW is a
fine rag, but they do take things out of context. Obviously when I said
I had ‘closure’, what I meant was “I hate Serenity, I hated Firefly, I
think my fans are stupid and Nathan Fillion smells like turnips.” But
EW’s always got to put some weird negative spin on it. But so we’re
clear once and for all: If you read a quote saying “I’d love to do more
in this ‘verse with these actors in any medium” all I’m saying is that
Nathan has a turnipy odor. It’s not his fault, he doesn’t eat a lot of
them but everyone else in the cast noticed it and tht’s not really
something I’m prepared to deal with any more. And Jewel said outright
she wouldn’t do scenes with him except stuff like the SPOILER SPOILER
SPOILER funeral scene which was outside in a high SPOILER wind. So if I
do manage to find another incarnation for my beloved creation, it will
have been totally against my will.
I hope that clears everything up. Oh, and when I say I want to do a
Spike movie, it means I have a bunion on my toe.
