I just came back from preview night. Oh my gawd, I saw clips of the new movie at the Fox booth and it looks glorious. Unfortunately, I was half a convention center away at the time (the Fox booth has these giant TV screens above them, so you can see clips of coming movies on them from many parts of the convention center), so I didn't actually hear any of the dialogue. I'll try my best to get closer tomorrow, but the clip appeared randomly and unexpectly (they must be featuring a dozen different new movies on those stupid screens), so I'm not sure how successful I'll be, especially with panels to distract me most of the day. ANYWAY, enough rambling. This is what I remember seeing: * Some guy surfing along the skyline on a hoverboard, and getting sucked backwards by... I'm not sure what. I was too far away to see properly.
* Zoidberg floating in the universe, eating random planets ala PacMan
* Hermes getting beheaded (later someone was putting his head into a jar)
* A lot of naked Fry. One scene showed him sitting in a chair next to Bender; most of the others were of him lying butt up in Farnsworth's lab on a table, with his pants off.
* Talking Lord Nibbler, in a varity of different shots, but most shocking of all was that he was talking to various Planet Express members (the final clip of the commercial showed him asking Fry a question; Fry gave some answer and he screamed to the high heavens in agony :P ).
* Nibbler crashing is tiny space ship inside the Planet Express building (he tried to fly out the window and simply ran into it, I think)
* Leela standing in front of a bunch of fans, her hair waiving before them Forgive me if I forgot anything; I was honestly shocked I even caught it from the beginning. Also, I passed the Bongo booth several times, and when I bought an autographed poster from them on my final visit, the seller told me to make Saturday's Futurama panel for the table read. Not animatic; TABLE READ. It's possible there may be both, but I'm going to guess we're going to see the Fox commerical in all its glory ( those being our clips of interest), and then be treated to a live table read. Unfortunately, by the time I realized what the seller had told me, I was already gone from the booth, so I didn't ask him to clarify (plus, there's a slim chance that what he told me is incorrect anyway). Also, I managed to grab a copy of the free comic book (three actually; they gave me one every time I stopped by). I'd really like to post them here, because it's as much a thank you to the fans as it is a "bridge" explaining what happened during the cancellation, but I don't want to violate any rules, nevermind that I have no idea which board to post them in.  If a mod says it's OK, then I'll try to scan them for you guys. |

Surely you know of the mating season variant Zoidberg? Oh yeah. I tried to find that booth, but I never ran across it. The place was surprisingly crowded tonight; I could barely breathe, let alone move. EDIT: Ah fuck. (c)2007 Bongo Entertainment, Inc. Futurama (c) & TM Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. All rights reserved. Neither this comic nor any portion of it may be used or reproduced for any purpose whatsoever.... I found that on the title page. I was hoping, since it was a free comic, they wouldn't mind it being freely distributed online, but it looks like I was wrong. >_< Sorry you guys.

Not animatic; TABLE READ. I wouldn’t worry, I’m pretty sure they will still show clips. The only reason they wouldn’t is if they weren’t done, but you’ve already seen some clips and they were in color which proves they are done (at least certain parts). Also on the Comic Con website it says that they will be showing exclusive clips. Not only that but last year they showed clips of The Simpsons Movie so everything suggests that they will indeed be showing clips of Futurama this year… Also, I managed to grab a copy of the free comic book (three actually; they gave me one every time I stopped by). If you put one up on eBay I’d totally buy it! If you want some extra cash I suggest you grab some more… Originally posted by Officer 1BDI:
I saw this hanging up as a giant banner inside the Fox booth, so I'm going to assume it's ok to post here:
It seems to be the official advertisement poster for Bender's Big Score. WOW! Could that be the cover of the DVD? Maybe it’s just an advert, either way me likes! For some reason when I click it I can't get it to go bigger though?... Originally posted by futz:
From Billy West's message board:

I think it was in wide screen, but maybe I was just too far away to notice any stretching. I'll try to get a closer look today. That Zoidberg clip sounds very similar to the pac man clip in Anthology Of Interest II. And as for Hermes, I hope he’s ok and goes back to normal in the end… It looks remarkably like the clip from AoI, but the planets were just too obvious for it to be the exact same clip . And Hermes... well, he was still talking, so he's "ok" in some sense of the word. He just didn't look very happy.  For some reason when I click it I can't get it to go bigger though?... Stupid ruddy ImageShack.... I'm going to go back and edit something into the other thread that'll hopefully fix that. Sorry; I should have known better.

Dear 1BDI, is it possible to get it from somewhere else, as ImageShack (and YouTube and pretty much everything) is not allowed at my office comp (stupid IT-policy!). Maybe someone could e-mail it to me, pleeeaseeee? (beck1(at)mail.ru). Dammit, Russia is so freaking far from Comic Cons, Amazons and all legal sources of dvd's, comixes, merchandise etc...  We wouldn't even watch Futurama here if it were not for the bootlegs  btw, doesnt it seem that in spite of all the praises given to new DVDs from their creators, San Diego's clip (many thanks to mighty Officer 1BDI) is not as bright as I would think after Mr. LaMarche's comments at imdb?

Beck: That reeks. The TinyPic link won't work, either? And as for the movie not being as "bright" (assuming I'm reading that in the correct context); granted, some of the things I described before sound concerning... or would if they were on another show. I thought the clips were hilarious (but perhaps I'm easily amused), and my first impression is despity all of the odd and unconventional things going on in that movie, I think the staff is going to pull it off. The animation alone is brilliant; parts of it looked better than it had on the show. The "Family Guy catastrophy" didn't even come to mind. If anyone uploads it to YouTube, it won't be me, seeing as I don't have access to a video camera (that, and to get close enough to hear the sound, I actually have to be in the Fox booth, and I don't think that's something they'd approve of). I wish someone does get footage and post it, though, so you guys don't have to gauge your view on the movie off of my biased opinions. ETA: I almost forgot to mention: yes, Otis, it's in widescreen.  |
