New Futurama footage screened at Comic-Con


From worstpreviews, "Futurama" fans got a little treat at Comic-Con this year, when Matt Groening and others assembled for a panel, and actually ran a five minute clip from the first DVD movie, "Bender's Big Score!". The movie, which hits stores on November 27th, revolves around Bender being swindled by nude Internet scammers and Planet Express becoming a victim of a hostile takeover.

Here is a description by RottenTomatoes of what the clip showed: "It starts with Professor Farnsworth's good news that the people at the Box Network that cancelled Planet Express in the first place have been fired, beaten, killed, and ground into a pink powder, much to the delight of Farnsworth's crew. Fan favorite Zoidberg has some of the best scenes in the clip, including popping out of his shell on a nude beach, and reattaching Hermes' decapitated head back onto his body. Hermes looks down, and is livid to see that Zoidberg has placed his head on backwards. Confused, Zoidberg states he thought Hermes was happy because 'his tail was wagging.' Nice. The clip ends with Hypnotoad staring from out the screen, a voice repeatedly commanding the audience to buy the DVDs."

The film is just the first one out of a total of four. The other three, entitled "The Beast with a Million Backs," "Bender's Game," and "The Wild Green Yonder," will be released through 2008. Their plot summaries have yet to be revealed, but all four will be re-edited as 16 TV episodes that will air on Cartoon Network next year.

I wholeheartedly support this product or endeavor. That's great. It's not clear though, are the movies coming out before the TV episodes?

They will be movies first and then broken up into separate episodes.
