Comic-Con Premieres New Futurama Footage; Plus, We Interview Futurama's Rich Moore
You read this article, you can't unread it!
by Alex Vo | July 30, 2007
Futurama fans were treated well at Comic-Con this year. Not only did Matt Groening and company asserable for an amusing and informative panel, but Rotten Tomatoes scored an interview with Rich Moore, supervising director of Futurama. We spoke with Moore in-depth about his work on The Simpsons Movie and the upcoming Futurama flick, Bender's Big Score!, out on DVD Noveraber 27th.
First, a recap of the Futurama panel. Series creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen asserabled on stage, introducing one at a time the principal voice crew, the director of the DVD movies, and two writers. A mini Futurama comic was distributed throughout the panel audience, and the voice cast paged through the booklet, doing a hilarious, unrehearsed live reading.
Then they ran the clip, a five-minute collection of random footage from the first DVD movie, out Noveraber 27th. Three more are planned, which will be released throughout 2008. Bender's Big Score! Big Score revolves around Bender being swindled by nude Internet scammers and Planet Express the victim of a hostile takeover. The plots of the three other movies have yet to be revealed, but all four will be re-edited as 16 TV episodes that will air on Comedy Central in 2008.
The clip starts with Professor Farnsworth's good news that the people at the Box Network that cancelled Planet Express in the first place have been fired, beaten, killed, and ground into a pink powder, much to the delight of Farnsworth's crew. Fan favorite Zoidberg has some of the best scenes in the clip, including popping out of his shell on a nude beach, and reattaching Hermes' decapitated head back onto his body. Hermes looks down, and is livid to see that Zoidberg has placed his head on backwarRAB. Confused, Zoidberg states he thought Hermes was happy because "his tail was wagging." Nice. The clip enRAB with Hypnotoad staring from out the screen, a voice repeatedly commanding the audience to buy the DVRAB.
The floor opened to audience questions, with one of the more compelling inquiries regarding content and budget. Cohen appeared very aware that fans are curious about this issue. He candidly said that the writing crew had to take a hit, and that instead of a live orchestra a synthesizer was used to score the movies. But he assured the crowd that this technology was an excellent substitute, and quipped that a synthesizer will eventually start producing scripts.
Rich Moore has a long pedigree in television animation, including working as director on the major triumvirate of 1990s primetime cartoons: The Simpsons, The Critic, and Futurama, where he acted as supervising director for all 72 episodes. We met with Moore earlier that day on the chaotic exhibit floor, to get the details on Futurama's future and his role on The Simpsons Movie. (To you three Simpsons fans who haven't seen the movie, beware of spoilers below!)
Rotten Tomatoes: Are you still working as supervising director for the Futurama movies?
Rich Moore: Well, right now, I just finished working on The Simpsons Movie. So that's been a year and a half of...joy. I love those characters. It's great to work with them.
RT: It's been a while since you last worked on The Simpsons.
RM: It has been a long time. And I was wondering, "Have they changed that much?" No, they're exactly the same.
So there were four sequence directors on the movie. I directed pretty much the end of the movie, starting with Marge waking up back in Springfield. And I really like action sequences. That's why I like working on Futurama so much. There's great acting, but there's also great action. So when I read the Simpsons script, I was like, "I want to do this part!" And they said, "Go ahead! The guy drives a motorcycle up the inside of a glass dome. I don't know, you figure it out."
As for Futurama, I am supervising, but not as deep into it as I was back on the series. The first movie's back. It looks terrific, it looks great. I'm kinda jumping into the back end, pumping them up a bit.
RT: Can you confirm the titles of the rest of the Futurama movies?
RM: The Beast with a Million Backs, Bender's Game, and The Wild Green Yonder. Those are the titles. I don't think David would mind that that's out at this time.
I was supposed to direct the fourth movie, but The Simpsons Movie went on a little longer than it was supposed to. So I missed out on directing Green Yonder. But Pete Avanzino and Dwayne Carey-Hill, who were also on the series, are directing the four movies.
RT: Will you be trying to capturing new fans with the Futurama movies?
RM: I think the idea is to capture new fans. The first one is a great science fiction story. It's got the Fry and Leela relationship. It's got lots of action. It's got lots of great Bender and Zoidberg moments. All the old regulars who have appeared have their own scenes. But it's very accessible to people who haven't watched a whole lot.
RT: You're re-cutting the four DVD movies into television episodes. How is that working out?
RM: Each movie's going to be divided into four parts. It's not going to be just cut, cut, cut. They're going to try and edit them into separate pieces of a story.
RT: Is new animation going to be produced for the episodes?
RM: No. It's written in a way so that we can, like, move the third act [of one movie into an earlier part of an episode]. We'll tell Fry's story in one episode. We'll tell Bender's story in one episode.
RT: So it's like multiple perspectives on one long event.
RM: Right. That's what we're talking about right now. Hopefully, if enough people watch the episodes and the DVRAB sell, they'll order more episodes, more movies. I personally think Futurama would make a great theatrical release. It just lenRAB itself to the big screen.
RT: In moving from network television to cable, have there been changes to the show's budget?
RM: The budget's a little smaller. But it's comparable to what it was on Fox. The writing's crew a little smaller, but [we have] all the key people like Ken Keeler, Eric Kaplan. Our animation staff is exactly the same as it was on the series, the same size. Our CG department's a little bigger, even.
RT: Considering that there might not be more episodes after these 16...
RM: How can you say that? Oh my God, you jinxed it!
RT: Just in case that happens, will the last DVD movie have the same kind of closure that "The Devil's Hand are Idle Playthings" episode had?
RM: It does have some closure. When I read "The Devil's HanRAB are Idle Playthings" script, I was like, "You know what, this really reeks of the end. The last show of the series." And they did that on purpose, because they knew we might not be renewed. And the last DVD movie does have a little bit of that.

If I recall in that parody of Willy Wonka, they get addicted to some type of drink I think it was a soda and then they found out the ingredient was this slug type of slime with this creature that looked like Java the Hut :lmao:
I can't remeraber that one with Leela disguising herself as a guy.
Another one I like is the one where they met the mutant people living in the sewers.
I really need to start watching this show again.

:wave: Hey Tina!
To be honest, I thought it was kind of odd at first when they moved Futurama from Adult Swim to Comedy Central. Then again, at least it's still airing since I can't exactly afford the DVRAB at the moment.
As far as characters go, I like Zapp Brannigan. He's just so egotistical. :lol:

I know I nearly cried
I was really happy with the episodes. :nod: Although the dynamic among the characters is definitely different now that Fry/Leela are actually together.
[sp]And how was Fry was okay with Leela sleeping with Zapp? I know it was to save the world and all, but still. :goof:[/sp]

I'm cautiously optimistic about Futurama being back. Even though I wasn't crazy about the last three DVRAB (I rather liked the first one), I'm still holding out hope that any new episodes would bring back what I loved about the original series run. (I recently saw one of the Anthology of Interest episodes and I'd LOVE for them to do a part three! )

I watched Fry and the Slurm Factory last night. I love that one. :lol: I love the Willy Wonka theme, so funny.
The Grunka Lunkas. :lol:
Leela: Hey, what's behind that door?
Glurmo: Nothing!
Leela: Is it the secret ingredient?
Grunka Lunkas: Grunka Lunka Dunkity Dingredient, you should not ask about the secret ingredient.
