Dark Firefly
We were watching Dark Star tonight, and it occurred to me that if Joss Whedon is looking for something to do, he could do worse than to remake Dark Star with better sets, effects, and acting.
Then I realized he wouldn't even have to spend any time auditioning a cast. He's got one already. I think Morena Baccarin would have to settle for just being the Mission Control person in the message at the beginning, and Sean Maher would be the voices of Bombs 19 and 20. The rest of the cast then works out pretty obviously:
(Update: According to IMDB, Ron Cobb worked on both Dark Star (Special Effects) and "Firefly" (Art Department), while Bill Taylor worked on both Dark Star (Miscellaneous Crew, Visual Effects) and Serenity (Special Effects, Visual Effects).)

The rest of the cast then works out pretty obviously:
- Nathan Fillion .... Doolittle
- Gina Torres .... Talby
- Alan Tudyk .... Pinback
- Adam Baldwin .... Boiler
- Jewel Staite .... Computer
- Ron Glass .... Powell
- Summer Glau .... The alien
