Ok, so it doesn’t look like Futurama will ever be coming back as an animated series. However, the good news is that they at least have titles and anticipated release dates for four direct-to-video (DtV) movies. Thanks to IMDB, you can stay up on what’s happening with these shows, all of which appear to have the complete original cast back together, as well as some special guests (Sarah Silverman, Mark Hamill, Al Gore, Coolio) – yay!
Bender’s Big Score! – According to Amazon.com, Bender’s Big Score will be released on November 27, 2007 and is available for pre-order
.
The Beast with a Billion Backs – The second movie title that is also a double entendre (see “Beast with two backs”).
Bender’s Game – Playing off the title of Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game, I’m curious to learn more about the plot.
Into the Wild Green Yonder - I don’t even know how to approach this one.
