Joss Whedon was one of Veronica Mars' biggest fans back when the show aired between 2004 and 2007 - he even guest-starred in one season two episode - so there's no question that he's happy about the success of series creator Rob Thomas and star Kristen Bell's recent Kickstarter campaign to finance a movie based on the show. In fact, in a new interview with Buzzfeed, he described his reaction as "unfettered joy."

But does that mean he's thinking about utilizing the same method to revive cult favorite Firefly, much like Terriers series creator Shawn Ryan and Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller seem to be doing? Not so much. Whedon explained:

None

He also added that the budget necessities for another Firefly film - a follow-up to 2005's Serenity - greatly differ from that of the Veronica Mars film project. As in, he'd need a lot more.

None

So, bottom line, it probably won't happen - at least not for a long time. Sadface.
