The future of Futurama

By alain on Monday 16 July, 2007

Since 2003 there haven’t been any new episodes of Futurama, the animation series created by Matt Groening and David X Cohen. This will change now: during the period 2007-2008 four feature-length movies will be released. Each one of these movies will be cut in 4 episodes that will be broadcast as a series on Comedy Central. The movies won’t be shown in the cinema, but will go straight to DVD.

Despite winning some Emmy’s, the series never managed to become a huge success. So for everyone who doesn’t know Futurama, here’s a short description: Fry is a pizza delivery boy from New York, who gets cryogenically frozen and wakes up in the year 2999. He finds himself a job at Planet Express, a futuristic delivery service, founded by his far and especially old family member professor Farnsworth. Together with among others Leela, a handsome one-eyed captain and Bender, a rude and selfish robot, they deliver packets in the five quadrants of the universe.

The first movie is called Bender’s Big Score and tells the story of a hostile takeover of Planet Express. Bender is used by criminals to accomplish their evil plans. Al Gore has a cameo and the movie is planned for American release on December 4th 2007.

The Beast with a Billion Backs will become the second movie, Bender’s Game the third and Into the Wild Green Yonder is the title of movie number four.
