Can't get enough Futurama
In Color

Futurama Return to DVD Seems Likely

The other day, Billy 'Fry' West posted on his message board that he got a call, saying that production for up to four Futurama DVD movies will start around July or August:
[The] Futurama project is a done deal! [...] There are 4 DVD movies that we'll start recording at the end of July or August. Full feature length FUTURAMA movies. Everybody is excited to get back together--as I am!

Into the Future,
Billy

We tried to verify this post with sources close to the show and ... didn't get a denial. That's way more than what we got before!

Since FOX didn't go public about this yet, there might of course be last minute reversals. Expect more info here soon.

In context of our last update: This is purely about DVDs for now. Peter Liguori and the FBC are responsible for the TV part of FOX.

PS: Parts of this news entry were available on gotfuturama a few days ago. I removed that news post in favour of contacting other people first. This was to make sure that we wouldn't get a flat-out denial right away.
JurianJan 23rd 2006, 17:43
And so the waiting begins. Dear god please let it be true!
KimberlyJan 23rd 2006, 18:15
Let's all hope, email Fox, Billy West, David Cohen, etc. with supportive notes, and buy DVDs for ourselves and for friends. Let's create new Futurama addicts to support continued development of the show! :)

Heck, even my mom likes Futurama, mainly because of Bender's antics. When I told her it was on Adult Swim she started tuning in on occasion. All the computer science humor and most of the math and physics jokes go right over her head though, so she's really missing out. :(
zachJan 23rd 2006, 18:26
beggers can't be choosers but.....july/august? damn.
L0t4axJan 23rd 2006, 19:11
Great news, everyone !!!

Let's hope this is the beginning of a Futurama revival in 2007 or so...

Boy, I cannot wait... myum yum yum
seamonstermanJan 23rd 2006, 20:51

MaxGuy56Jan 23rd 2006, 21:41
This is wonderful. Sure, they're not exactly going to be coming out soon, but this means the show is still alive, and if these sell well, who knows. Fantastic!
KurtPikachu2001Jan 23rd 2006, 22:34
Looks like we're finally getting our wish! Just think, 4 DVD movies and it's all going into production this summer! Yes! We won't know when the movies are coming, at least we know the movies are on the way!
SpinelessJan 23rd 2006, 22:54
Well... I'm keeping my hopes lower than I want to... I really, really want for this to be true. It has been far too long since we've had new Futurama!
jensenJan 23rd 2006, 23:01
OMG!!1 Futurama is teh back!!
apieceofcheeseJan 24th 2006, 00:55
Hey, I'll wait as long as it takes to see these movies. I can't believe its coming back. A good day for all!
wantFrywiththatJan 24th 2006, 01:35
I'm going to contain my excitement until the official yes or no is released. But if it does happen, I'm so gonna pre-order!
AndreasKastrupJan 24th 2006, 01:51
Gosh, i hope thats true.. and i hope they make 4 funny films :).. and.. I hope the dvd's gets at the marked fast... So i can buy them here in Denmark as fast as possible :D
GhostWalkerJan 24th 2006, 02:32
Man good news (everyone:) doesnt wait long this year, thats awsome!
JeffJan 24th 2006, 02:49
This is good news, but when they say films how long are we talking? The regular 20 min show, or like a whole movie?
Eyedol7513Jan 24th 2006, 03:14
^Well, it should be around the length of the Family Guy movie. If it was less, then I honestly don't think it should be called a movie.
CapnSkustingJan 24th 2006, 03:22
Billy does say "feature lenght".
In animation terms, that's at the very least, 90 minutes each.
There is certainly a buzz going on about this, even outside the hardcore fan community...
FuturamaRoxJan 24th 2006, 03:23
Man this awesome. can't wait
JeffJan 24th 2006, 03:36
90 minutes each?! That's awesome, that's like 6 hours of Futurama. Huzzah!
DougtheTHugJan 24th 2006, 04:02


I think it's a done deal, too. Copy/Paste this link....
Polynomial-DJan 24th 2006, 05:48
Yippy Kai Yay!!! Huzzah, Huzzah!!! So far it's just been comics, but know they'll have time to make a great story that won't have to be cut down to 22 mins.
HelloJan 24th 2006, 08:17
WOOOOOOOOT WOOOOOOOOT ... Hopfully they come out at the same time, all over the world. If they take ages to get to Australia, I might do something bad and get a friend to dl them.
:( :(
Then I would have to kill my friend for downloading them.
:( :(
FennecJan 24th 2006, 09:00
After all that waiting with all those news about Futurama being on/off this could be the big true one. I will however wait a little before I celebrate, but I am crosing my fingers.

With any luck the movie(DVD)sale will bring Futurame back on the small box.
MiKeBurnFireJan 24th 2006, 12:25
Hip Hip HOORAY!

My roommates had never seen Futuramam before, but now they're addicted! They'll be happy too!

I'd like to think that my purchase of Monster Robot Maniac Fun Collection got this going. :P
seamonstermanJan 24th 2006, 20:37
fuge 90 min make it as them as long as king kong or titanic 3 hos or longer why because 3 houres is aboot the adverage lenght of time fot the eps in the season ger i think some seasons are but make them epic
LukeJan 25th 2006, 11:46
hey you know what giving a fuck about punctuation is n't cool why because you have to read everything 8 or more times

OK, let's hope that's all true. It will be a while until we see some new stuff, though, I guess.
Will they be able to hire the same people again (writers, animators, etc.)? As long as the voices don't change, count me in...
LeeLemonJan 25th 2006, 14:23
GREAT!! Now all i want is free bending unit included with the dvds, and my life will be fullfilled.
FryJApocalosoJan 25th 2006, 16:39
AWESOME!!! 4 "movies"!!!
But i can't wait....to do 4 movies maybe we have to wait 3 years...if the first will sell a lot of copies fox could ask a new season....

speriamo speriamo!!!
Futurama ... portaci 4 film e nuovi episodi!!!
Ti prego!!! non posso aspetare 3 anni o di + x 4 film...non
tomisagothJan 25th 2006, 17:25
Has Matt Groening or David Cohen confirmed this yet? As well as that FOX might pull out at the last minute, so I'm staying cautiously optimistic for now...

----------
Go to ( and search Futurama and you can find lots of cheap rare items.
tomisagothJan 25th 2006, 18:25
Has n't matt got to make the Simpsons movie first? Or has the whole thing been abandoned or just another rumour?
ZOMFGJan 25th 2006, 19:37
*silence* this is the best second of my life, no this, that one was slighty worse
AndieJan 25th 2006, 21:45
There have been NO official confirmations yet, but it looks better and better every time, and we're not going on Billy's post alone.
SCFUFFYSPAJan 25th 2006, 21:57
i'd much rather wait till matt G or David X makes an anouncement cos we know how in the months on negotiating billy west has given a little false info
BrianJan 26th 2006, 01:35
.... This is awesome! I'm so happy I'm gonna go drink coffe! But I'm not supposed to cause it makes me hyper! YAY!
mmmJan 26th 2006, 02:13
Has anyone heard any rumors on the premise of the movies? I wonder what kind of plot they could think of that would take 4 movies to tell.
sdgadgJan 26th 2006, 02:17
I think we all know what will happen:

Futurama Movies are a massive success, and lead to a new 3 season contract, the simpsons is finished, and all the effort put into futurama. 15 seasons later they start winding down.
AndyJan 26th 2006, 05:01
I hope thats what happens...

C'mon Fry, I wanna see how it ends...
PandaJan 26th 2006, 08:43
Fuck yeah!!.....im sooooooooooo happy....this is great!!!!!!!!!!
letiferJan 26th 2006, 13:56
cant wait my favorite show is bound to come back and I just knew it would return to me
DamitolJan 26th 2006, 18:24
Best news ever. Four 90 minute movies is the same as about 16 22 minute episodes. For all practical purposes, it's like getting a whole new season of episodes.

Yes, it will be at least Fall of 2007 (and probably closer to Christmas to increase sales)until we we the first one, but knowing Bender, Fry, Leela and the gang are getting a new life leaves me with a really big smile.
PantsJan 26th 2006, 21:07
Lets just hope the dont do to Futurama what they did to the Simpsons, ruin it! If they are going to screw around with the past formula I hope they never make a futurama again!
wqewuJan 27th 2006, 00:04
let's hope for TV production too..
funny, i had a classmate called pietro (peter) liguori
DonaldJan 27th 2006, 03:58
clear bzzzzzzzzz! It has a pulse its going to live lol
IrishAleJan 27th 2006, 04:13
*twitch*
Ya know, I didn't get into Futurama until after it was released on DVD, my nephews got me hooked. Really hoping we see more of this gem in production. A great mix of High and Lowbrow comedy. ... Plus it has exploding robot heads. I mean come on, you just can't beat that.
DarthMethaneJan 27th 2006, 04:58
seriously, i really like futurama, but 15 seasons is TOO much, look at the simpsons the're really begining t suck, there still funny but they've lost the soul they once had, everything they do now is just assinine
CoolGuyJan 27th 2006, 09:04
i hope it gets into tv production thanks to this. and i hope it wont go downhill as in simpsons season 13+ type of downhill. i say that coz the downhill eps of futurama in season 3 are alright. anyways Futurama must get back on tv production thanks to this. also im going to hold my screams of joy till its confirmed that this will happen
AlexJan 27th 2006, 14:26
Im not sure it will be a great success i have always thougt cartoon movies never have benn that succesful like the family guy movie never even hit the the theiters, so i think they shoulde really put 500 % into this movie, but i sure hope it will be really good.
SomeguyagianJan 27th 2006, 17:14
hmmmmmm. a full lenth movie, I haven't thought of that before. Well, if it incress the odds of Futurama back, I'll take it. And you think they would show the movie in a couple of years by now, but I can wait for it to come out, as long if it's this year. Ebert and Robert, please give two thumes up, even if it's only on the DVD
HDCJan 27th 2006, 20:08
A couple of points - firstly, the Family Guy movie was never supposed to have a theatrical run; secondly, I highly doubt that the production of these Futurama movies will take anything more than a year and half, after all it's roughly the same amount of work as a regular season, and, by the way, I think that they'll start actively working on the project much sooner thean late summer, just because there are obviously some more things to do before recording voice, such as storyboards, layout, etc.
BenJan 28th 2006, 04:35
Have they already made the plot or not?

Because I seem to recall the original rumour was that some guy met groening at a pub and Matt said that he had the script upstairs..
LrrJan 28th 2006, 05:16
If Billy West is correct and they are reccording in late July/August, I'm fairly certain they would have written a draft of the script to at least the first movie, so...yes, I think they have made the plot.

In the time before July/August they'll probably sort out everyone's contracts if they haven't done them already, polish up the script in the writers room and storyboard it.
BlueWaterJan 28th 2006, 08:42
I look at my wall now and see my Futurama poster and think... Theres a chance it might come back. This is amazing news! When I learned Futurama was cancelled I didn't think much of it, however, after time flew by I realized how much of an awesome show it is.

And now hearing that theres going to be like 5 hours of movies being made?! WOW! I'm 100% sure I'm pre-ordering! Please, let there be a god and confirm this! :D
bartek666Jan 29th 2006, 11:14
I WANT I NOW.... please
PantsJan 29th 2006, 11:54
Just make sure none of you download a copy rather than buy one, if it doesnt sell well we will not have anymore after and def no new series.

So buy one for yourself and a extra copy as a present every birthday your friends or family have.
ShaBubuJan 29th 2006, 13:22
Yea do not download it! Anyone who does it worse than FOX
benderJan 29th 2006, 18:51
nonesense

I downloaded some and bought all 4 seasons
(we get them later in germany)

am I now evil or sth?

PS.I'm going to make an update. It has been confirmed by FOX!

Futurama's Back for Real!
ScummbuddyJan 29th 2006, 20:28
I want to suggest that you make this site a log in/register site for at least posts, because how can i tell if that is the real mArc posting that, or someone being truly mean. it would also get rid of those bad posts that we would deal with, where people impersonate the other.

OMG FUTURAMA MOVIES THIS IS THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!
FuturamaRoxJan 30th 2006, 03:20
Prof. Farnsworth: Good News everyone, where back on the air.

this is awesome news. also i think a login/register thing would be a good idea to keep those who hate futurama from posting pointless comments like "Futurama Sucks" and other crap on this site
mikeJan 30th 2006, 04:41
This rumor has been confirmed they just shoed it on adult swim that Futurama would be makign a come back, but to DVD. mmmmmm, sweet sweet futurama episodes
Officer1BDIJan 30th 2006, 04:55
In response to [-mArc-]'s last post: YES!!! I.. Oh my God, thank you!
MosesJan 30th 2006, 05:34
I hope they make the movies a tetralogy- not necessarily with one cohesive story, but rather 4 independent stories that fit together, ala Star Wars.

Oh, and they shouldn't call it a Quadrilogy, because that's not a real weird, I don't care *what* Fox says.

-Moses
ZOMFGJan 30th 2006, 19:02

BenderJan 30th 2006, 22:41
I'm sure marc isn't real, because he wouldn't have post to make an update.

There's still hope.

I'm not worried Bender, I'm with you...
JonathanJan 30th 2006, 22:49
I have a great start if the DVD sales make a new season, like every season they start with a "sponsor" joke:

"Futurama is brought to you by the fans!"
And then Professor: "Good news everyone were back on the air!" Everyone cheers and the theme song plays. :D
JeffreyJan 31st 2006, 03:08
Well I may seem new and stuff, but I did get a recent report back on one of the message board's on Adult Swim's website that we also got word of this, and that I was hoping that if this 3 season contract also happens, I think there is one thing in order to get it's viewers back,

Have Adult Swim reair the new episodes so that apparently in time it could set up more demand, just like with Family Guy, of coruse this all depends on timing and stuff, and I hope this will be big.
AthynJan 31st 2006, 03:46
Good news, everyone! Last night [adultswim] played a special bumper that confirmed what Billy West wrote!
Officer1BDIJan 31st 2006, 05:23
" I'm sure marc isn't real, because he wouldn't have post to make an update."

Yeah, I figured that out about an hour after I posted. In my defense, I was really tired and incoherent yesterday. 8P

Could anyone post what the [as] bump said?
BlakeJan 31st 2006, 07:11
Thank God. I hoped that when Family Guy came back that through our support we might get more Futurama. Hopefully if there is enough demand for the movies it might come back on t.v.
MitchCJan 31st 2006, 08:44
Yeah, I saw the Adult Swim announcement that the 4 Futurama direct to DVD movies will begin productionin the Summer. I'm sure that at some point they'll all be shown on the Cartoon Network since Fox seems to still be reluctant to bring Futurama back to TV and the Cartoon Network has been so instrumental in bringing the series back to life.

jackJan 31st 2006, 12:51
this is the best news ever. im so happy. what did the adult swim channel say about the movies.
TraceElementJan 31st 2006, 14:19
I was watching FUTURAMA tonight on Comedy Network, and they stated DEFINATELY that Futurama was going to go into production, on four DVD "movies", I imagine the way they recently did with FAMILY GUY. I would imagine the difference will be, that unlike Family Guy, the FUTURAMA films wont suck. My guess, is that FOUR DVDS, will me marketed as a BOX SET, and you will basically be getting a season of FUTURAMA, direct to disc, instead of the limitations from being associated with FOX.
EpainJan 31st 2006, 14:58
You know what else AS said? Futurama is taking over American Dad's spot sunday at 10. American Dad sucked anyways....

Sorry, I didn't have time to do the update, but I swear it is true!

No, for real, FS
JayHunterJan 31st 2006, 22:32
I can't wait to see Futurama either. I'm sure it'll take ages for the first film to come out; as I'm sure they'll weave plot lines and little time-line accuracies into the films.

BTW, why do people hate new Simpsons so much? So what if it's not as good as "Marge vs the Monorail"? Just be glad that some sundays out of the month, there's a brand new simpsons that you've never seen before.

Whenever they get cancelled, you'll miss that buzz. There are those of us who still Support the Simpsons. Even though on a whole, the seasons aren't great, there are still good episodes -chunks of gold- amidst the dirt.

Plus, you can always just watch your old season DVDs and not the TV.

On that note...go Futurama!

Jay
EERJan 31st 2006, 23:36

PantsJan 31st 2006, 23:51
The simpsons sucked as soon as they turned it into a show just to plug the celeb of the week.

The simpsons was a hit when it was about normal life that we can all relate to on some level. How many of us meet a new celeb every week?
zoibywantbalonFeb 1st 2006, 00:17
its a fabulous crabulous day

im gonna by so many lizards
carn1xFeb 1st 2006, 00:19
i wonder what the individual movie lengths are and if it'll be a quadrilogy as such. I would say i hope they dont do a family guy movie (read: extended episode) but then i realised the FG movie was actually alot worse than the old Series 1-3 quality. I dont think that can happen with futurama though, the writers care too much about the universe and the characters, whereas Family Guy's just a sketch show. I hope the DVDs come out in the US first and then Euro, that way I'll have an excuse 2 have 2 copies of each movie ^_^. Also i wonder if this'll be a back to back release or staggered ala Matrix/Kill Bill or even the LOTR annual model...
ScummbuddyFeb 1st 2006, 01:57
I agree with Pants completly. I was scared when Futurama started doing some of that, with Beck and the Beastie Boys... but the Beastie Boys were only a little part of getting towards Benders addiction, but Beck was a large part.

I'm okay with the casual guest appearance, like Pamela Anderson, but I guess I just don't want Futurama to turn into Simpsons' celebrity of the week.
mouseclickerFeb 1st 2006, 02:21
"Plus, you can always just watch your old season DVDs and not the TV."

Couldn't you say the same thing about Futurama? So what if it's not on TV anymore, you can just go watch the DVD's?

Admittedly, each Futurama episode is still hilarious, even after having seen everyone at least 20 times, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't give every non-vital organ in my body for it to come back. I think people feel the same way about The Simpsons, except instead of it being cancelled, it gets paraded out every week a husk of what it once was, and they just it would truly get cancelled or be "brought back" in its own way, ie with good new episodes.

On that note, I think The Simpsons has actually been improving lately. Interesting thing- I don't know if this means anything, but The Simpsons really went downhill around 1999, when Futurama hit the air. Then it started improving around 2003/2004ish, after Futurama was officially cancelled. Maybe the good Simpsons writers went over to Futurama during its 4 production seasons, leaving the show without talent? Then when Futurama was canned, they went back and started bringing the series back? I dunno, just some observations.

-Moses
ScummbuddyFeb 1st 2006, 08:49
Does anyone know why Ed O'Neil didn't do the voice for Alcazar, the shape-shifting alien who tried to marry Leela? It's kinda odd that they made all the references to 'Married With Children', and weren't able to get Ed to do the voice?
ScummbuddyFeb 1st 2006, 09:05
Plus, I think it's cool that [adult swim] has posted the words from Billy West about the cast getting together to being recording, because if for some reason Fox comes around and says "No", then there would be even more people crushed and infurriated, and could hopefully fight back.
BrainSluggoFeb 1st 2006, 12:03
AdultSwim "Futurama" viewers should know by now that word of Billy West's post is now appearing as one of their bumps.

It's about time for futurama to come back. When it comes back to Fox, they should take off that show, in the 8:30 slot and slap futurama in there.
JonnywobbzFeb 1st 2006, 19:37

futurama back in the world, fool me six times or less shame on you, fool me seven or more times shame on you.
now everybody sing the church bell song from the beginning of the show by humming, robots can use harmonicas because they have no lips, deauh, deauh deauh deauh deauh, ....

MaxineFeb 4th 2006, 04:40
No - adult swim just stated that Billy West said things...
TomFeb 4th 2006, 04:53
If you watch Adult Swim, over the past few nights they have been running cards at the start of Futurama saying that they are indeed coming back. I would say that is enough for me.
ScummbuddyFeb 4th 2006, 06:49
No, they didn not "indeed" say anything. They stated what Maxine said above, which is, that on Billy West's forum, he states that they are recording in a couple months. They hint that its back, but again, we have not heard final confirmation from Fox yet. Adult Swim is just doing what this news post is doing.

I'd much rather have the series back, but movies are better than nothing. Maybe they'll come back to TV too, I hope. I still can't believe Fox cancelled such a fresh and hilarious show and kept the stupid old worn out Simpletons running.
ZoidgarthFeb 6th 2006, 16:34
Hazzar!
AArrrrrooooooo!
the success of the movies may result in new series'
Let's hope futurama is back eh?
ScummbuddyFeb 6th 2006, 21:04
Futurama Comic # 23 is out in stores. The cover is just of Bender's face telling us meatbags to buy this comic.

Sadly, there is no 'reader's mail' or other stuff in the back of this issue. I guess the story went on too long, but I don't see how it could be that much harder to add another page. Oh well. Just as long as they continue to come out with comics until the movies/series gets picked up.
LeelaFeb 6th 2006, 23:06
yay, at last they came to there senses! more futurama can only be a good thing!
WOOOFeb 7th 2006, 11:30

SlickRoXFeb 7th 2006, 16:26
URAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TobiasFeb 7th 2006, 18:30
Yay!

I hope this will help bring back the tv-series aswell
SalFeb 8th 2006, 19:17
More than likly, Fox always have to risk their money on peoples ideas. Futurama only came into excistence because FOX could trust the simpsons creators to make somthing succesful. The DVDs are a test to se if theres still an audience for Futurama. If they do well FOX will most likely invest in a new series of the show as it already has a fanbase rather than take the bigger risk of a new show entirly.

As the simpsons is slowly coming to an end maybe this could be the possible substitue. Whats better for that type of audience?
johnrobertFeb 9th 2006, 01:14
I don't want to get to exited without proof, but I remember 2years ago when i asked if they would comeback.WHOES KICKING WHO AROUND NOW!
paulFeb 9th 2006, 03:29
david x cohen reald middle name is david s cohen and he worked with simpsons for 5 years for more infoe email me sorry i cantpost
ScummbuddyFeb 9th 2006, 04:14
Yeah, we all know. I think it was the in the first episodes commentary... as he told us that there is already a David S. Cohen in the Screen Writers Guild, so he got to choose his name and he picked X, because its futuristic, plus it sounds cool.
johnrobertFeb 9th 2006, 04:25
This seems too good to be true, anyone with any real insite would be great.3 to 4 movies I don't believe it.What is the honest possibility this is just a hoax bastard pretending to be billy west or the real deal.

P.S NEED TO KNOW A.S.A.P PLEASE ITS KILLING ME!!!!!!!! ... !!!!!!!!!!
ScummbuddyFeb 9th 2006, 05:10
2.33% probability that someone hacked into billy wests account on his own sites' forums and posted that... and then the post remains on his site for weeks now... Yeah, about 2.33%
johnrobertFeb 9th 2006, 22:11
Oh it's like that, good thanks.
johnrobertFeb 10th 2006, 01:09
I hope the antagonist is nixon or the robot devil.

iamme2Feb 11th 2006, 07:14

robbFeb 12th 2006, 19:57

jaltesrensenFeb 12th 2006, 20:30
Awesome. I have gotten many of them i know to see futurama, and they all like it.
There will be a great market for this.

Man this is sweet.
paulFeb 13th 2006, 05:43
no one hacked nothing that would of called him to confirm it
FuturamaRoxFeb 13th 2006, 06:09
man this rox. i hope Futurama would have new eps to see the light of day and what not. and if it does come back i just hope that it will have episodes between the ratings of atleast 77% - 95%, and it should use some stories that are futuristic.
YossarianFeb 13th 2006, 15:29
We gotta go out there and BUY these movies if they come out! The more they sell, the more likely it is that Futurama comes back!!!

I hope that Leela and Fry FINALLY get together. Devils hands was never meant to be the end of their story. Call me a sentimental goop, but I want them to be happy!
NiggerFeb 14th 2006, 04:07

whats your problem #139
CyaFeb 14th 2006, 20:15
Hurray Futurama movies! It's fantasmic!
JimmyFeb 15th 2006, 07:22
This is the best news I've heard all year. When Futurama first came out on the season sets, I bought them all! To this day I still watch all the episodes. Even though it is not guaranteed that the four movies will come out, it is uplifting for the die-hard fans and even the occasinal viewers to know Futurama is still alive!
daveFeb 15th 2006, 18:12
#139, learn to spell.
MunKyFeb 15th 2006, 21:37
139, you are the epitome of pointless
I own all the boxsets and need to buy season 2 again becuase I lent vol.3 and 4 to a "friend" and never got them back. If these movies happen, I will buy them the day they come out, and pre order online.
ScummbuddyFeb 16th 2006, 01:11

Fuzzy64Feb 18th 2006, 04:15
I was searching around on a Family Guy site and read something about this, and it seems like the rumors are true that a DVD movie of Futurama will be released just dont know when yet.
daveFeb 19th 2006, 01:00
When i first read this post i was pretty excited. I felt sure that now, at last, futurama was back on the cards. That was nearly a month ago! Does anyone actually know what's going on at fox? why haven't they said anything? Pretty much all the chatter on the internet is going by Billy Wests post and a few other unconfirmed rumblings with regards hints on obscure websites and tv shows. The suspense is killing me! What's going on?!?!
CheesyPoofsFeb 19th 2006, 07:46
we dont know 147, we dont know. maybe billy west was mislead or david x was mislead who knows maybe someone hacked in as billy west and said that and then threatened billy not to tell the truth (though that wouldn't be likely). we just dont know, lets just hope that this is true.
daveFeb 19th 2006, 14:34
yeah, i guess we live in hope. at this stage, no news is better than bad news.
KidFeb 21st 2006, 02:37
I heard that adult swim was advertising about the new DVD's so if there allreay advertising fo r it, its gotta b more then just rumors or internet chatter
TrancemasterFeb 25th 2006, 00:16
Yes adult swim is already advertising the 4 new dvd's on their little commcercial messages. I'll be so happy if it comes back ... <3 the futurama... Bender Unit!!!!
EdHFeb 25th 2006, 04:46
please please please no I'm doesn't....
hayFeb 25th 2006, 20:12
more news!! need more news!!
joenumptyFeb 26th 2006, 14:24
That news is awesome. Although feature length cartoons are usually 60 minutes long, not 90. However, that's still about 1/3rd of a season of Futurama. Hopefully, we'll get to see what happened after "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" episode. A Fry-Leela relationship would certainly make these 4 mini movies very interesting. And if they make enough money, let's have more new episodes of Futurama in 2007! There's no reason why Futurama couldn't have gone on like the Simpsons has done.
DoolsFeb 26th 2006, 17:01
Great news. Read this in SFX magazine, they're usually spot on with their news. i've missed Futurama, can't wait to see some more.
asianFeb 27th 2006, 07:48
Fuck you 139. If your dont care about futurama the dont leave a comment you raceist fuck.
JeffFeb 27th 2006, 20:54
I'm beggining to doubt that this is true, if the rumours began over a month ago, wouldn't they have been confirmend by now?
lucianoMar 2nd 2006, 02:59

I want Futurama back on my television screen even more than on a disc...

Futurama rules the waves....
confirmpleaseMar 4th 2006, 18:39
Why can't someone else confirm or deny this story? Its been out for a while now. Where is Cohen? Where is Groening? Where is the news that production has started?

Beginning to believe this is another false start...
MunKyMar 11th 2006, 03:20
If you don't believe it won't happen. There will be something, it may not be soon but there has to be something down the line.

I can't wait to buy these, although I am already in my pajamas
MunKyMar 13th 2006, 17:07
Why cant we have time skips until the DVDs come out? Then they will have to be stopped of course but at least the wait will be over.

CanttakeitanymoreMar 19th 2006, 06:32
I think I would just rather hear someone come out and tell us they spoke with David X, and he has officially declared this story false, than take this long period of no news.

Any news? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Words cannot describe how happy I am I mean 4 Futurama Movies. This could lead to big things for futurama. Futurama nerds every where will want to buy these. Its like futurama died but then it was re-born Kind of like Family Guy.
xNicolexxxMar 25th 2006, 15:35

You cant give up hope just because its hopeless, you have to hope even more and put your hands over your ears saying "blah blah blah"

I know the line is'nt like that but its close...

This could be the re-birth of futurama Now that it has been confirmed that they are working on a simpsons movie it could be the end of the simpsons so he will have more time to work on futurama. and put that in the 7:00 block on FOX then maybe it could even more popular. sure it probably wont last as long as the simpsons but remeber it is quality over quantitiy

I like the fact that there will be a movie coming out, but I think that I enjoy the episodes better. Plus, with a movie I bet it will feel forced, I hope to god not though.

Super Excited : o
XanforMay 5th 2006, 19:25
You see, Bender's a bender that bends,
'Futurama''s about him and his friends.
What's it about this small notion,
that demands our fanatical devotion?
I don't care, just bring it back again!
