Sorry, but that just has scam written all over it. Nothing of what they show actually makes me think there is any kind of decent game there. It looks like a bunch of Firefly assets they downloaded and threw together into a nice little trap for the ever gullible "shut up and take my money" generation. Get a little cash crowdfunding it, get a little cash doing a half assed early access, sit around and never finish it. Seen it a thousand times.
If they actually have the official license for that IP these guys and all the morons giving them money are probably the worst enemy of anyone who wants to see a real Firefly game.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you haven't actually heard of Star Citizen. If that is indeed the case it's in Alpha right now. You currently have access to the Hangar and Arena Commander modules (AC is a dogfighting simulator) with the FPS module and Social module due for release in the next couple of months.

Have a look anyway over here. Also you can see what they have currently got working from their Gamescon presentation here.

If you'd like to try the AC module for free you can right now until August 24th (although they keep extending it).

If you want to see what the game is like in AC and some of the current ongoing discussions about it also there is never a shortage of streamers - http://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Star%20Citizen

I saw that game announced. It looks like crap. I'd rather have a solo game with a well done campaign with a new firefly story. Preferably first person but third person could work good too.

When will the game be released?

We don’t currently have an official ship date, but just know the team is busting pigu and it’ll be out there as soon as it’s shiny.

harrumph.

I hope it's because they are voice acting the crew of serenity for some missions.

It looks really bad - either this is a fox executive trying to run with the rights, on a show string, or a scam, I agree with @Aetrion it looks lackluster right now.
