Hope for futurama *spoilers... kinda

[on:]

i live in australia, where they only aired the first 2 seasons inconsistenly at crap times with no repeats, but if the show gets cancelled i cant download it, and that pisses me off. i read this article on ign, see, but theyve updated past it. the point was, there are going to be one or more SIMPSONS MOVIES. cool enough already, the real point is they specifically mentioned the soon to be jobless futurama staff might (will probably) work on it, eradicating fears that even if the show did make a return, there would be no one left. so to summarize, if theres gonna be a simpsons movie that the futurama crew will work on, this might just keep them in jobs long enough for fox to come to there senses... if you find this article, gimme a call.

I heard that The Simpsons movies were in the pipeline but that news of the Futurama staff working on it is cool. Not only could this mean if Futurama is renewed that the original team can work on it again but also the prospects of The Simpsons Movies are now much greater. They have a lot more potential now that the Futurama team might work on them. Sarge and Guffman are the people to ask.

is it just me, or did i just say essentially say that?

I doubt they would do this though. Wouldn't they want the movie done by Simpsons veterans, who have worked hard and earned the right to write a movie? I think David X. and Ken Keeler are the only writers who have experience with The Simpsons. Still, this would be cool if true. I'd love to see the writers stay together for an eventually fifth season pick-up.

Believe it or not, the buzz about Simpsons films was around since their 4th season. And the movies might not come out until their series is pretty much over (especially true  for The Simpsons).

There was Futurama movies rumors sinze the start of the series..

I have heard the rumors for years of a Simpsons film, but never anything solid. Just being in the industry you would think we would hear something if it was close to a reality, but I haven't. Actually, the Simpsons guys are on hiatus themselves right now.

Hey, what ever happened to that next-generation Futurama game that was in the works for PS2, GC and Xbox?

[Reply #12 on:]

I don't know, I'd heard about that though

[Reply #13 on:]

Check out the videogame thread--it's still happening. I don't think any screenshots or anything have been released though.

Oni where did you get that article??

i need it.. thanks

IGN.com, but i think it's been taken down (see if you can find it, i cant be bothered, it asnt that informative). I SWEAR it was there, and it DID specifically mention the futurama team. what i can remember; matt said he had some ideas for the movies(s) but both would probably fit well into a normal ep, and thats about it.
