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.

“I hope that something like that will come along. That’s the plan anyway.”
“Harry Potter” star Emma Watson, 17, confessed in an interview that she admired her co-star Daniel Radcliffe for playing in “Equus”, and especially for the courage of playing in a nude scene.
Emma, who has played the character of Hermione Granger since the age of 11, confessed she would love to do the same thong as Radcliffe, as in playing a more challenging role.
“I’d like to think I would (do that). Not that I want to get naked, but I hope that something like that will come along. That’s the plan anyway,”she said.
Emma, who is said to have a £10 million fortune, told “Parade” magazine that it’s not money the thing that convinced her to decome an actress: “Let’s be honest, I have enough money never to have to work again, but I would never want that.”
“I have a really secure network of family and friends. My parents are both lawyers and have no interest in being part of this industry.”
However, Emma won’t renounce at her studies in order to become a fulltime actress. She said that going to school keeps her in touch with reality: “People can’t understand why I don’t want to be a full-time actress but school life keeps me in touch with my friends. It keeps me in touch with reality.”
