David X. Cohen of Futurama Talks About the Movie

Joel Keller writes "I conducted a brief interview with David X. Cohen, EP and show-runner for Futurama, about the release of the new DVD, "Futurama: Bender's Big Score," as well as the return of his show to TV. The interview was posted to TV Squad this morning. In it, Cohen talks about how the movies will be split up into episodes, some of the inside references that they inserted for the die-hards, and a quick preview of what the second Futurama movie is going to be about."

Comedy Central?

Ick. Comedy Central is famous for getting shows like this and then killing them off quick. MST3K anyone?

I'll take what I can get; better that we have any new Futurama than no new Futurama at all.

I've seen it

If you like Futurama you will like this movie. The movie dragged on for about 45 minutes to long because the ending was obvious through the last 60 minutes or so.

I think Futurama has a slightly larger audience than MST3K ever did... so I'm not all that worried ;)

Wait, how does carrying a show for seven years constitue "killing it off quick?"

I liked the early years of AS up until Sealab, Home Movies, Brak, and Harvey Birdman stopped making new episodes and ATHF got really bad (somewhere around the 3rd or 4th season). The only "new" shows I like are Robot Chicken, Venture Bros., and Lucy, Daughter of the Devil, and I haven't noticed my MythTV recording Lucy recently, so I hope it hasn't been canceled already. Everything else (especially Saul, Tim & Eric, and Xavier) is trash.

...an "epic" film involving everyone's favorite characters from the show that ran on Fox from 1999-2003.

...Also Zoidberg...

With the exception of South Park, Comedy Central really doesn't have a whole lot going for it.

You must be one of those who aren't independent-minded enough appreciate the genius of John Stewert and Stephen Colbert.

Oh god singing.

Is it an american thing? Turn every half decent programme into a musical?

There's no *way* I'd watch it in a cinema now. Wait for the DVD when you can fast forward the singing bits.
