Watch This Animated Firefly Teaser Trailer

Since its cancellation in 2003, science fiction television series Firefly has achieved a powerful cult status. Interest from the show's loyal fanbase has helped launch a feature film and comic books as means of continuing the series. Fans express continued interest in a series revival, although 13 years out that looks increasingly unlikely.

Animator Stephen Byrne offers a glimpse of what could be: a short teaser trailer for an animated Firefly . There's no dialogue, but all the characters are there doing many of the things you would expect and hope for. Could this lead to an animated Firefly revival? Or is it too late?

Personally, I'd be more likely to shell out for yet another exclusive streaming service for this than for the new Star Trek series...

    The author of the article misidentified one of the characters appearing in the trailer. After pointing out that Wash appears as a ghost/hologram, It's mentioned that Reverend Book also appears live despite being a casualty in the movie.

    I'm pretty sure that's the assassin from the movie, not the Reverend.

    Excusable, perhaps, since there were questions about how the Rev knew so much about killing, and that the assassin wanted to start a new, non-government job after the failed op. I can easily imagine the killer joining a monastery, and Book having had a similarly colorful past before joining his.

    Regardless: no crazy hair, not Book.
