Direct to DVD Futurama Movie

An anonymous reader writes "In a recent video blog Billy West mentions that a Futurama movie is in production!" From the video: "Good news everyone...there's gonna be a Futurama movie, coming out on DVD, I think we're gonna start doing it soon. There were talks and I guess they're really happy about moving forward with it cuz the DVDs of Futurama sold really well, and then with a possibility of a second one." Already mentioned as a possibility here on Slashdot. He also talks extensively of his new puppet-based project 'Billy Bastard', which will be based on his drunken shenanigans as a band member when he was younger.

Screw you guys, I'm going to do my own futurama movie, with Blackjack! And Hookers!

Must be said.

I'm walking on sunshine! WHOA-O-O!

oh god, I can see it now

[rlthomps-1]

Direct to DVD? Does this mean we get an uncut version never intended for television?

*gasp* lets all hope Zap Brannigan's hem line doesn't creep any higher.

Come Kiff! Hold up my blur circle so as not to traumatize my audience!

I'm sorry, sir, they don't make blur circles that large, sir. (rolls eyes)

Hopefully this will come out...

...before the year 3000?

You knew it was coming.

Professor Farnsworth: Good news, everybody!

Futurama is an excellent candidate for a direct to download experiment. It's got geek appeal, has no network time slot, and is an established, legitimate show.

Geeks can bite my shiny metal ass.

Bender: "Listen you fat internet nerd!"
Nerd: "Listening."
Bender: "Your company promotes wrong love! If you don't shut down right now, the only thing wired out of you will be your jaw!"
Nerd: "You can't shut us down! The internet is about the free exchange and sale of other people's ideas. We've done nothing wrong!"

happy

death by snu-snus to us all !

I once got very drunk with bender ..

[torpor]

.. or at least, Joe DiMaggio, the Voice of Bender, in a loft-party in downtown Los Angeles ..

It was a great party. First of all, the cookies were .. delicious .. i helped myself to a whole stack of them. then, i turn around and hear Bender going 'bite my shiny metal ass', and i think "damn, cookies!?", when .. lo and behold .. there was Joe, doing his Bender for the chicks.

damn that was a great party.

Football

[nikconwell]

Evidently in the East Coast release of the DVD the first 20 minutes of the movie will be replaced by football.

What is WRONG with you nerds?

[Chris Tucker]

None of you are asking the most important question of all about a Futurama movie:

Are we going to see Amy naked?

And not that lame "from behind so all we see is her butt" style nudity, either!

Give us full frontal naked Amy!

And naked Leela!

But no naked Hermes or Farnsworth.

Or Zap. Definitely no naked Zap.

That would be bad.

I am pretty sure that Family Guy is pioneering the "Direct-To-DVD" concept.

Yeah, plagiarizing Homer Simpson jokes at heretofore unprecedented efficiency.
