“Firefly” stars Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk want to re-team for another series set aboard a spaceship, according to Entertainment Weekly.
“Con Man” is a new show set in the world of conventions, created by Tudyk.
“My character, Wray Nerely, was on a science fiction show called Spectrum, that was canceled too soon, and now he goes to conventions, to sign head shots, and meet fans, and do panels,” Tudyk explained. “Nathan’s character, Jack Moore, who was the captain of the spaceship on Spectrum, has gone on to incredible action-hero stardom, like Matt Damon. ”
According to the project’s official press release, guest stars on the show will include the pair’s fellow “Firefly” alumni Sean Maher and Gina Torres as well as Amy Acker, Seth Green, Felicia Day and “Guardians of the Galaxy” director James Gunn.
Fillion and Tudyk are hoping to raise $425,000 to finance the show’s first three 10 minute-long episodes. But Tudyk says that he has written 10 scripts in all so far and that at least one later show will indeed see both actors back on a spaceship. “There’s a lost episode of Spectrum that gets released within the show,” he says. “That’s done in a funny way—but there are actual scenes of me flying a spaceship and Nathan captaining.”
