The second coming of ‘Futurama’
Sweet zombie Jesus! Could it be for real? Yet again, another tidbit of information about the possible resurrection of “Futurama” finds its way to us. This time, it looks like talks are actually happening (endure a brief flash ad for the article).
It’s not all in the clear, however:
Before “Futurama” comes back into being, however, 20th first must secure deals with the show’s production team, as well as voice stars including Billy West (Fry), Katey Sagal (Leela) and John DiMaggio (Bender).
That’s probably the biggest hurdle to get over. Billy West and John DiMaggio are fairly important voice actors. If they’re busy, that could be the end of this ride. And that’s not to mention the huge production costs for each episode. For me, at least, a big part of the appeal of “Futurama” is that it’s easily the best looking American animated series ever produced, and I’d hate to see the quality of the animation suffer in order for the producers to save a buck.
I’m getting hopeful, but I’m still not convinced.
