I haven’t really got around to posting anything for quite a while, so feeling the need to post something - even if it has been floating around the internet since November - I thought I would post this 4-minute sneak peak of the next Futurama film, set to be released towards the end of March. It’s going to be great - I can’t wait

Good news everyone! Futurama has officially returned this week with its direct-to-DVD movie, which was released over in the US on Tuesday November 27th. Unfortunately, there is no release date set for the UK as of yet - which is annoying considering this is a monumental event and I am sure most, if not all, Futurama fans would agree: something this big should have been released globally, not just in the US.
The good news is, I’ve been reading a lot of good reviews on the film and thankfully it sounds like it’s way better than the Simpson’s movie which as I stated earlier here, seemed to tie things up a little to quickly towards the end. So far from what I’ve read it sounds like the Futurama movie doesn’t do that at all and actually has a very good, structured plot to go with it.
I have to say, Futurama is my favourite out of the two shows; and if the Futurama movie didn’t do so well, I think I would start to lose faith in Matt Groening. The Simpson’s is good, don’t get me wrong, I am just more of a sci-fi geek.
The only bad thing I’ve actually heard is that a lot of the humour is based on established themes and inside-jokes, so someone not familiar with the Futurama universe might not pick up on some of the jokes, but for me a Futurama addict, this doesn’t seem like a bad thing at all, as it will make it just that much more enjoyable.
Futurama’s back after being canceled over 4 years ago. The show will return on November 27th as a full-length high-def film sold on DVD. It will be followed by three additional films, and each film will be divided into four episodes each to be aired on Comedy Central.
The first DVD film to be relesed - Bender’s Big Score - centers on the Planet Express crew fighting to save Earth in an epic battle against nudist alien internet scammers. Who send Bender back in time to loot the Earth of its greatest treasures.
The remaining three films will be released throughout 2008 & titled, ‘The Beast with a Billion Bucks’, ‘Bender’s Game’ and ‘Into the Wild Green Yonder’.
