Next Futurama DVD has a title - VIDEO

FuturamaThe next Futurama direct-to-DVD movie has a title. According to an interview with Futurama producer David X. Cohen, the subtitle of the movie will be Bender’s Game. It’s a pun on the classic sci-fi novel Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card.

A preview of the video is on the latest release, The Beast With a Billion Backs, and involves the Planet Express crew caught in a Lord of the Rings-type alternate universe. It’s the Futurama team’s first foray into fantasy.

Cohen did state that the title has very little to do with the subject matter of the DVD. “We were all kind of shocked when we started talking about the idea, that we hadn’t done it before, really,” Cohen said. “It almost seems obvious that it’s something our fans would like.”

Bender’s Game is going to be released later this year. Having already enjoyed the first two direct-to-DVD releases since Futurama’s resurrection, I am looking forward to this one.
