This news just in:

Billy West, voice actor extraordinaire, recently mentioned in a recent video blog entry that there is a straight to DVD Futurama movie in the works:
Theres gonna be a Futurama movie, coming out on DVD, I think were gonna start doing it soon. There were talks and I guess theyre really happy about moving forward with it cause the DVDs of Futurama sold really well. [via SweetDex, via Asterisk, via Justin French]

Woo Hoo! Straight to video baby... this is what I'm talkin about! Bam!

Well my hayfever is making me feel wretched today. It was so bad I was sneezing continuously and felt like I was choking. I don't remember having such a bad hayfever day for years.

On the other hand (and curse them if this is a hoax) the net is alive with reports that my beloved Futurama is back!!

That's gotta be worth a huzzah!

Update: Chris comments that the article I linked to doesn't say anything about new episodes, so maybe CC are just getting the rights to repeats. It seems unlikely that you'd make a song and dance about that but it's a fair point.

However TheSun of all people are claiming:

At least 13 new episodes will be made for US station Comedy Central by 2008 after new deals were signed with voice-over artists including Billy West who plays lazybones Philip J Fry and John Di Maggio, the man behind robot Bender.

So I have hope once again!

Curiouser and Curiouser! on futurama

Another blast from the spice weasel!
