Can't get enough Futurama

DXC Interview on ToyFare Magazine

Justin Aclin of ToyFare Magazine notified me that they have a short interview with Futurama executive director David X. Cohen on their site. Especially of interest to the Futurama fans:
ToyFare: So where are you right now in the production of the new season?

DAVID X. COHEN: We're about halfway through the writing, but just getting started on the animation. One big decision we have not yet made is how, once again, to "end" the series - hopefully not for the last time.
The interview also touches on some story line details and merchandise Cohen would like to see.

On the latter topic, Toyfare Magazine also features an interview with the toy producer "Toynami", who did the Futurama i-Men in the past. They are about to release new 6" figures of Fry and Dr. Zoidberg in spring 2007. Later figures will be Leela and Zapp Branigan, and yet later Bender and Kif.

All glory to the Hypnotoad!!
andresvillDec 12th 2006, 23:55
wow... the best part of the interview is when they talk about hypnotoad:

"By the way, we are looking into producing a full 22-minute episode of Everybody Loves Hypnotoad for the DVD release. I am serious"

I just hope it's an episode of the first four seasons... and not season five... cuz that show has been going downhill since season five...

I can't wait to see what REALLY happened in the 2000 elections, as long as it's not politcial, but silly and nonsensical.

BUT having episode would be great.
JoeMDec 13th 2006, 16:24
If only I had a cryogenic freezer and could freeze myself to wake up for the premier of the new futurama episodes. That would be truly amazing!

It's great to get some new, exciting news on Futurama!
ZokDec 13th 2006, 16:30
Oh - My - God. "Nudar".
I cracked up just by hearing the name. "The evil alien nudist". *ggg
I so much hope Dave "Wernstrom" Herman voices him. Yeeehaaa! Futurama's back with a vengeance!

WE ARE UNWORTHY OF HYPNOTOAD
MarcJan 7th 2007, 23:06
I'm probably a bit dumb, but ... if I understand this correctly, there will be 4 movies, for release to DVD and cut into 4 pieces, so producing 4x4=16 episodes, aswell as a season full of episodes aswell?
flclJan 9th 2007, 00:19
I heard a while ago that realease was planned for christmas, '07. Is that still the general idea?
tyberiusJan 12th 2007, 19:47
Marc,
I'm assuming the the 16 episodes is the season/DVDs. (There won't be any episodes other than what's promised to be on the DVD's
flippyjockeyJan 13th 2007, 16:33
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Im just a kid but im freekin obsessed with this show! But im peeing myself thinking of new episodes! it sucks we have to wait till 2008.

$10 says their all at fry & leela's wedding & fry [being incredibly & adorably stupid] says something stupid thus leela gets angry & calls off the marriage?</I>

You know technically they did wed (and divorce) in the episode "Time Keeps On Slipping" so this would actually be the second time around.

DongMar 8th 2007, 16:51
I love futurama, and finding all the hidden pot leafs in the episodes!
arsenalfanMar 29th 2007, 23:36
