Direct to DVD Futurama Movie

Posted by Zonk on from the fox-listens-only-when-sales-numbers-speak dept.

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.

    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!

    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!"

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

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

    Yeah, plagiarizing Homer Simpson jokes at heretofore unprecedented efficiency.
