Can't get enough Futurama
In Color

Comic-con fails to deliver

Sadly the thing that we all hoped for didn't happen yet on Comic Con. Everyone was expecting for a big announcement on the whole "cast issue" of the last weeks. Even worse, all the Futurama cast members were absent from the panel, although series creator Matt Groening voiced his support for them, saying that "we love our Futurama actors. We hope that FOX and the actors can come to an agreement as soon as possible."

More on the Comic-Con can be read here. Also I want to apologize for our slow response on the matter, mArc is currently in some far country doing some mad scientist stuff so I'm trying to keep up with the news despite my long absence from Futurama news.

I don't know if this is old news or not, but IGN got to talk to John DiMaggio on the whole issue, and he said that although he couldn't comment, he was optimistic on them reaching an agreement. I really hope they do work it out :)

i am an italian fan of cartoon. i am at the seven sky for its rebirth. i am very sorry for this.

italian voice of futurama are wonderful, but your original leela, amy, fry and bender voice are fantastic however!

I just found this link on google news;


I wont get my hopes up just yet, but it looks like good news. Hopefully something official is announced soon.

Ah no links allowed. Google futurama into Google news and there is an article from the Toronto star. Apparently it says that a deal has been done with the voice actors. Hopefully "GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY"

Maurice LaMarche posted on his facebook status that he "closed a deal" with Futurama. Sounds like it's a go, people.

According to the LA Star 2 hours ago
Three of the actors signed the deal, but they're confident the other will sign it too in a matter of days, if not hours.

THEY'RE BACK BABY!!!

The Tornoto Star has posted a story today saying that the majority of the original cast is back and that FOX should be issuing a "formal" announcement sometime today.

You can read all about it in the Coaxial column at Ain't It Cool News.

I know this is off topic but i didn't know where else to post this. I was watching The Simpsons today and found a reference to Futurama and i don't think anyone else has found it yet. Anywayz in the episode 'Hetler Shelter' a figure of bender and the planet express ship can be seen on a shelf at comic book guys house when the simpsons are asking him if they can stay at his house.
