As you will have read, the Futurama cast recently had the table read for their 100th episode.
Writer Mike Rowe(Bend Her) was on hand to take a little snap shot of the special script cover that was produced to mark the occasion. He's very kindly allowed us to show the picture here as a little teaser. Just click on the image to the right for a larger view!
It does show that the episode(production code 6acv12) is called "The Mutants are Revolting" although this title could always change before airdate.
Four of our favourite voice artists - Billy West, John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche and Phil LaMarr - will be making an appearance at the Wizard World Comic Con in Anaheim this year.
The convention runs from April 16th to April 18th and includes appearances from lots of stars including several Star Trek actors who also guested on Futurama.
As some of know, we're on Twitter. This is where we post quick headlines of things to do with Futurama that are maybe not big enough to get a full headline on site. It's a great source of info if you're a fan so follow us @gotfuturama (which 879 already are-thanks!).
I've now trimmed down our following list(which includes myself and Jon), and created another 'list' of people on Twitter that are involved with the show for your interest. This is now in addition to our Futurama Profile Pics list. If you change your pic to a Futurama one then tweet us and we'll add you to the Hall of Fame!
Side note, if you're watching The Superbowl today lookout for The Simpsons Coke Ad... you MAY recognise the announcer!
Will they've done it again!! For the THIRD year running, Futurama walked off with the Annie Award for "Best Home Entertainment Production" for Into The Wild Green Yonder.
The Awards, which recognise achievement in animation, were hosted last night by William Shatner. Futurama has regularly featured in past ceremonies.
A huge congratulations to everyone at the show. Why not post your congratulations in the comments section below...
News comes through that the two 2-part Futurama/Simpsons crossover comics are getting turned into artbooks by Art Book imprint Abrams.
The 4 comics, released in 2002 (Part One & Two) and 2005 (Part One & Two), will be released in hard back form and feature a reprint of The Simpsons #1 comic plus preliminary sketches, character designs and more.
As we all know, there was a worrying time in the summer where during negotiations with the talented voice cast of Futurama, FOX sent out a re-casting call for people to audition for all the roles on the show. How far in that process they got before the negotiations were luckily resolved we don't know, but it does seem that audition tapes were sent in. Now one has turned up on the interwebs via actor James Pomichter's YouTube channel. Here he auditions for the role of Kif(played by Maurice LaMarche) and Fry(Billy West).
For curiosity only, I've posted it below. What do you think? Any good? Discuss in the comments below...
Ok guys, here's a MASSIVE treat for you all: Actor and comedian Kevin Pollak is currently doing his own online chat show. If you haven't caught it already it goes out every Sunday LIVE from his website. The diverse range of guests are always interesting so it's always worth a look.
However, this week saw two special guests join Pollak; Billy West and John DiMaggio!
During the almost 2.5 hour show the actors cover subjects from growing up, to beat boxing to their favourite dirty joke (I even managed to get a question in through the chat room at about the 1:47 mark). Kevin is a great interviewer and this is a great watch, and not just for fans, as Billy and John prove to be both hilarious and interesting. You can watch from Kevin's website: kevinpollakschatshow.com Or subscribe to the podcast in iTunes: Here. You can also follow kevin on twitter and try to check out his other interviews as they are just as interesting.
