Slashdot Mirror
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.
How about Direct to Download?
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.
Oh please, say it aint so!
Has the word "blog" infiltrated us so deeply that we have to use it on EVERYTHING?
The system had the verbosity of HTML combined with all the readability of compiled assembly viewed as bitmap images

Futurama Direct-to-Video Greenlit?
Update by [-mArc-]:
Due to some communication hickup within CGEF, the following had been posted without all information attached. Most importantly, our latest information from David X. Cohen is that the movie(s) have NOT been greenlit yet. So, take what Billy says as a good sign, but not neccessarily as the final word on it.
It seems that FOX has finally given the Futurama Direct-to-Video the green light. In the first of IGN's exclusive Video Blogs direct from San Diego's Comic-Con International, voice actor Billy West (Fry, Zoidberg, the Professor, and many more voices for many more shows) revealed to us that a brand-new direct-to-video Futurama movie has been greenlit. There is also an option on a second dvd.
Thanks to IGN for this exclusive information. The information has not yet been confirmed by Matt Groening or FOX itself, so let's just keep hoping
Ant(Dude) @ Quality Foraged Links (AQFL.net) & The Ant Farm (antfarm.ma.cx / antfarm.home.dhs.org).
This was confirmed at Comic Con yesterday (Saturday) during the Simpsons panel with Matt G. Needless to say, the Futurama DVD got the largest applause of the session.
Toil is Stupid. Don't be Stupid.
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!"
The owls are not what they seem
death by snu-snus to us all !
RUPERT! I TOLD YOU TO WATCH THE BAGS! You were looking at the boys again, WEREN'T YOU.
Evidently in the East Coast release of the DVD the first 20 minutes of the movie will be replaced by football.
Huh? Here are some episodes from the last season.
- Leela's Homeworld
- Less Than Hero
