Dobber Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 (edited) Got this quote from a futurama site: "Well, I spoke to David X.Cohen because we did promos for a new Futurama compilation and he said that they did have talks with the top guys at FOX and they were extremely impressed with the sales of the Futurama DVDs. The idea was to make a Futurama movie right to DVD and then a 2nd and a 3rd. That's what's being discussed. Fox is trying to figure out a budget for the whole project, and it sounded like David X. was very jazzed! I would love more than anything to do that show again. I thought it was best experience on every level... creatively, voice-wise, writing, animation and the laughs. The laughs. Writers and performers that respected each other. " God I hope this happens!!!! First Family Guy, now maybe Futurama, all we need next is Firefly....which if the movie does well may just happen! Fox may yet make up for "some" of thier sins!!! What pisses mr off though is Fox had/has the nerve to say that both Family Guy and Futurama failed to pull in the numbers they wanted but then did amazingly well on CN, TBS, and DVD sales. Maybe if those Knucleheads at Fox would give those shows steady/decent time slots they would've done better, instead of either constantly moving one around so you never new when it was on or putting one on in a time slot that was ALWAYS being pre-emted for Football!

HWR MKII Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Fox may yet be of some use to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Leader Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 To my eyes, Fox has ONLY been useful for "Family Guy"... I really have no other need of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I would rather have a revival of the series. Though if a DVD-movie would bankroll another series... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 That's what I'm hoping for, that this will be the first step to it's complete revival. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijin Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 (edited) Firefly and Family Guy have been revived (FF in movie form), it was about time Futurama did also. Maybe we'll see Wonderfalls as well some day too. Edited May 29, 2005 by Gaijin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Johnathan Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 That is good news. Movie dvd's; I'll be buying them, can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinxCrossq Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 More Futurama! That's a must buy. It would be funny if the movies were live action. Not really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fort Max Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Excellent news and perhaps the start of an american OVA revolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effect Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Sweet. More Futurama is always a good thing. I love this show, more then Family Guy to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted May 30, 2005 Author Share Posted May 30, 2005 Not sure how to post an actual link, but this is the site: www.gotfuturama.com Cinescape was also reporting this and said that it has come from a reliable source. Sounds good to me! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I would love nothing more than to see Bender's shiney metal ass back in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal_Massacre_79 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 This is very good news. Even though it's from the same people who did The Simpsons, I think the comedy is much better on Futurama. I'd love to see this back on at a reasonable time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armentage Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 There's a silver lining to Futurama having been canceled.... they did that fantastic final episode, where Fry trades his hands with the Robot Devil... Has to be one of the most touching, hilarious, and overall great animated episodes of anything that I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
