So, it's not the show or a new movie but Joss has released a couple of comic book mini-series of Firefly. Both take place between the last episode of Firefly and Serenity. Also both are co-written by Joss himself along with Brett Matthews who wrote the script for the episode Heart of Gold.
The first one released is Serenity: Those Left Behind. It is available in Trade Paper Back and takes place pretty much right before Serenity. It explains why Inara and Book leave Serenity and wraps up one of the plots from Firefly, Spoiler: The Hands of Blue, and sets up the movie.
The second is Serenity: Better Days which takes place some time between the end of the show and the above Those Left Behind. It just finished up but should be in TPB before long. Basically the premise is that the crew comes across the biggest score of their lives and is suddenly rich beyond all imagination. Then things go bad.
Apparently the next mini will focus on Sheppard Book pre-Firefly and fill in some (but not all) of the details on who and what he is/was.
