It’s been known for some time that Futurama was coming back, almost certainly in the form of four feature length films. Finally at Comic-Con we got the entire scoop. There will indeed be four movies, shot in wide screen, released straight to DVD & Hi-Def DVD. The first film, ‘Bender’s Big Score’ will be released on November 27th.

The remaining three films will be titled, ‘The Beast with a Billion Bucks’, ‘Bender’s Game’ and ‘Into the Wild Green Yonder’. There was no information as to their release date.

The most interesting news was that each film was going to be divided into episodes to be aired on Comedy Central. I wasn’t clear on whether they plan to air four episodes after each DVD release or wait until all the films are out and run a 16 episode season.

The cast was as always, awesome. They thanked the fans for bringing the show back, mocked Fox’s decision to cancel and provided the audience many an opportunity for laughter.
