I heard such sentence in a movie

"There was no chance I was waking up in the morning"

i understand the context and what the speaker wanted to say but can I say it this way:

a) "There was no chance I was going to wake up in the morning" b) "There was no chance I would wake up in the morning"

what are the differences to the original statement?
