New Futurama Movie in June

Tuesday, March 11, 2008
By: Ryan Ball

As Bender’s Big Score gets set to air in four installments on Comedy Central later this month, Fox Home Entertainment ahs announced that the next adventure in the series of Futurama DVD movies will be available at retail this summer. The Fate of human and robot-kind is at stake when Futurama: The Beast With A Billion Backs debuts at retail on June 24.

In what Fox is calling the most tentacle-packed Futurama epic, space itself rips open, revealing a gateway to another universe. What lies beyond is a mix of horror and love as the Planet Express crew encounters a repulsive, planet-sized monster with romantic intentions.

The second feature-length Futurama film will be followed by at least two more movies from series creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen. The show’s entire voice cast and most of its main writers have returned to help revive the series, which FOX cancelled in 2003. Groening, who also created The Simpsons, has told us that Futurama is the animated show he’s most proud of. Those who haven’t picked up Bender’s Big Score on DVD yet can catch it on Comedy Central on March 23 at 8 p.m.

  OMG! I love Futurama. I am so glad they are picking up from where the last movie left off. It was a cliffhanger.
  Bravo Matt Groening and David X. Cohen!!!!

  God didn\'t make this, jackass. Matt Groening and David X. Cohen did.
  
  If god wasn\'t just a \'Santa Claus\' for gown-ups, he would probably just force Matt and David to do it anyway, then make more Futurama.

  No doubt! Quit thanking your imaginary friends for something real people work hard on to entertain the masses!
  
  Thanks Matt and David!

  the first one was bad, it was cool to have the show back but it was pretty bad in acting and voice acting. The sprongers were the best part though, overall I hope they do a better job this time around. But hte plot seems a little dumb they have to save the world again?

  Wow. There is a disturbing percentage of idiots who like Futurama, huh? Dumping on people because they used a generic \"thank God\", calling them a jackass, and this guy threatening emptily to kick the asses of people who don\'t buy it? You three need to settle down.

  FUTURAMA is the BEST, funniest show out there! I love the jokes that take just a little knowledge to understand... my favorite quote:
  \"Wow, that\'s like this drug trip I saw in a movie, when I was on this drug trip!\" - Fry
  
  LONG LIVE FUTURAMA! and of course Matt and David, the gods!

  Selling dope and robbing people takes its toll on me. It\\\'s really nice that FUTURAMA is able to continue as straight to DVD movies.
  
  I do prefer FUTURAMA to the SIMPSONS.
