Good news, everyone?

Over the last week, several sources from within the animation business have indicated to us that there is renewed talk at FOX about bringing fresh Futurama content directly to DVD. We corroborated this with other sources close to the show before publishing the information.

The talk is of course still in a preliminary stage. Options reported to us include one or more Futurama movies in case of a go-ahead.

Even though Futurama is not sure to return and the likelihood of its return is currently unknown, this is the first time in the past few years that we have heard of Futurama being discussed at the upper levels of FOX. They'll likely have a good look at the sales of the upcoming face=Verdana Futurama Monster Robot Maniac Fun Collection

I have a problem with a TV show, especially a cartoon being adapted to film. I hold the same opinion about this Simpsons film that has been in the works for ages. The show is just enough humor to last the half hour it does. Try expanding that to 2 hours to suit a film.. ugh I don't even want to imagine it, even though I love the cartoons.

what will happen is it will most likely be like heavy metal. In that you have a bunch of smaller stories that become one large one.

That's kind of dumb. Might as well just bring back the series if they want to do shorter individual episodes.

By the way, Heavy Metal sucked so much ass.
