One left: Futurama Movie News Thread

[Reply #40 on:]

Indeed, no big surprise to think that Leela might get to kick some Beastly ass. I guess the cover was meant to be misleading, in a way. Just wonder how that might impact on the whole jealousy-issue, if she can just claim she's saving humanity or something.

You don't have to. I'd say maybe 3 weeks before a pirated copy shows up on the internet. My friend found BBS about two weeks before it came out. I waited until I got my DVD though.

Great trailer... Why is it not making me crazy with excitement? 

[Reply #43 on:]

Because we've seen it before, just not in colour.

And because gentacles isn't a word.

Okay, I dunno if this is correct, but after reading the Apple.com profile of Rough Draft Studios, I checked out the demo reel posted there – and saw this brief 1-second clip which, unless someone can certifiably prove otherwise, looks to be from one of the remaining 3 unreleased Futurama movies:

Interesting stuff...

Looks kinda like:

SonicPanther, in reference to your disappearing post, yes, I think we are seeing different trailers.

[Reply #47 on:]

So, is there like a "one epic space battle per movie" mandate or something? Not necessarily bad, but there are much more numerous means of conflict resolution.

[Reply #48 on:]

Yeah, like cracking kneecaps...   

Anyway, maybe the writers think Futurama has turned into Star Wars or something.

But as long as the space battle doesn't become the focus of the movie...

Woah. My post must have gotten bored and left the thread...

By the way, that first review of BWABB which a link was posted to on the previous page. I went back on it today and they have updated it with a few awesome screenshots from the movie. They're well worth checking out. I won't post them here because some people might class them as spoilers, I dunno...

[Reply #51 on:]

It appears the "official" BwaBB trailer has been yoinked from YouTube by 20th Century Fox.

I was wondering why it was not wide screen format and so poorly compressed.

[Reply #52 on:]

Yeah, I noticed that too. Plus it seemed kinda short compared to the one they made for BBS. Maybe it wasn't the real trailer.

Alot of the original episodes had space battles in them. I think the main reason for this particular battle scene is to give them a reason to include more Zapp.

[Reply #53 on:]

Guess who might be getting an early screener copy of BwABB to review? 

[Reply #54 on:]

Well, I would say on 100% statistics probably not me... but I am overnighting in the Icelandic highlands wilderness anyway so cannot get DVDs... but if it is you, then congrats and enjoy the experience! 

[Reply #55 on:]

I'll provide a link to my finished review here when it's published. I just hope it happens. Not every screener copy I request actually comes through, so fingers crossed...

[Reply #56 on:]

If I saw the trailer on YouTube, it wouls slow down my computer.  So, I'll wait until Meet The Spartans comes out so I can see the trailer then. 

[Reply #57 on:]

As short as the color trailer is, I like the way DVD #2 shapes up. The end of the clip is hilarious!

[Reply #58 on:]

I'm hoping a certain friend of mine gets the movie early again... Wonderful internet ordering sites...

I think I speak for everyone when I say, congratulations you son of a bitch.

I'm just messing with you. You are the lucky one aren't you. Be sure to tell us when you get it. (Begins loading .45) What's your address by the way.

I hear you. I ordered BBS online and got it the day before it came out. I hope to God I get BWABB two days before this time because I'm leaving for Germany on the 23rd! I need that movie to watch repeatedly on the plane!

Seems to be the colour trailer again although you'll need Windows Media Player 11 (which I don't have so could someone confirm this please).

[Reply #61 on:]

I hate every one of you who gets the movie before I do.

...

Nah, I'm just kidding.  You guys are great. 

Speaking of early screenings, is there any word on if the crew and cast (...or FOX) are going to be doing another special movie premiere in LA?

[Reply #62 on:]

Well, the lukewarm review I just read in the link is just an opinion.  I'm still excited to see it.
 

[Reply #63 on:]

I agree with Otis and I feel that as each movie is released they will get better and better (hopefully anyway).

[Reply #64 on:]

"After the better than expected Bender's Big Score..." 
At this point, that review has absolutely zero credibility.

[Reply #65 on:]

I agree with books. BBS had too much stuff going on.

[Reply #66 on:]

Rumour, and speculation! that's all it is! I'm not believing anything until the DVD gets released!

[Reply #67 on:]

Thank you Torgo! 

[Reply #68 on:]

I remember there being false rumors for BBS, but I never remember seeing any made up dialog.

[Reply #69 on:]

Hey, I want to know where you got this stuff. Please??

[Reply #70 on:]

As I said, BwaBB section of IMDB. As for where that guy got it... He only mentions magazine but doesn´t specify which one.

[Reply #71 on:]

I finally found it. But still, it CAN'T BE TRUE! 

[Reply #72 on:]

The fact that the IMDB poster doesn't even bother to mention which magazine those quotes supposedly came from instantly raises my eyebrow....

[Reply #73 on:]

Yeah...*raises eyebrow with 1BDI*

[Reply #74 on:]

Oh for the love of god, please no more spoilers!

After the BBS spoiler about Fry and Lars before the movie was actually released I promised to never read a spoiler about the next 3 movies. But when every post is in a spoiler tag about a possible character death my mouse just magically wants to click them. The temptation, the damn TEMPTATION!

P.S. This is not an angry post it's just to show my sturggle, if that makes any sense.

Something without spoilers: I just posted the CGEF "Beast with a Billion Backs" DVD contest. We'll give out 10 copies to people from the US.

Dammit!! Why do I have to live in the UK!!!

[Reply #77 on:]

I entered, even though I'm not sure I want to win... (I have an irrational fear of pre-orders :P)

[Reply #78 on:]

I entered, but I hope, (If I somehow manage to win) that I can get it in time.

I've been freaking out because on the 26th I'm leaving the country on vacation. I'm going to France, and they probably won't have it there, and if they do it'll be only in French.

So if you read a news article about some crazed woman taking all the copies of BWaBB from every store and maybe breaking into some, it's probably me.   

[Reply #79 on:]

But it comes out on the 24th. You'll be okay, won't you?

Freaking Canada. I'll be going out to the very day though to go get it. At least this time I'll be out of school and can spend the whole day on it, unlike with BBS.
