Futurama - Deel 2 (een nieuw begin)

quote:

Futurama is een Amerikaanse animatieserie, ontwikkeld door Matt Groening (ook de maker van The Simpsons) en David X. Cohen. Futurama is genoemd naar een onderdeel van de wereldtentoonstelling van 1939, dat een beeld gaf hoe het leven er in de toekomst uit zou zien.

De serie speelt zich in "New New York" rond het jaar 3000. Op technologisch gebied is er veel veranderd, maar de wereld kampt nog steeds met dezelfde problemen als in het jaar 2000. Naast mensen wordt de aarde in 3000 ook bewoond door robots en buitenaardse wezens. De hele aarde is verenigd onder een President van de Aarde, en de aarde oefent ook invloed uit over de rest van het zonnestelsel.

Ik ben benieuwd. Weet iemand toevallig wanneer seizoen 2 van Futurama in Nederland op dvd uitkomt?

quote:

July 3, 2007 - Recently IGN attended a King of the Hill recording session, where I was able to speak to several cast members, including Lauren Tom, who voices Minh and her daughter Connie. Tom is a very busy voiceover actress, who has worked on everything from Teen Titans to Kim Possible. Among her most notable roles is that of Amy on Futurama, a role she will be reprising soon, as Futurama returns with four DVD movies, which will also be reformatted as 16 new episodes, to air on Comedy Central next year.

I asked Tom about her return to Futurama, and she told me "We just did sixteen episodes and we just recorded the last four, and that was a big tear-fest." Noting that they'd just finished up a couple of days before, Tom then showed me a picture of the Futurama characters she had with her done by Matt Groening that Groening had signed and added additional drawings to for her. I definitely agreed with her declaration that it was "awesome."

As for the show continuing past these additional 16 episodes, Tom remarked, "We're keeping our fingers crossed that it will go on and have more of a life, because when we did the last table read, [Executive Producer] David X. Cohen said 'Welcome to the very last, last, last episode of Futurama …until the next last one!' So hopefully the fans will rally together again. Hey, it worked for Jericho!"

When I told her that we certainly have a lot of Futurama fans at IGN, both on our staff and among our readers, Tom replied, "Really? Oh, that's good! David told us that our ratings have been better [on cable] than they were when we were on the air before! So I think it's taking sort of a slow roll or something, that people are starting to get into it more now. So hopefully we'll be back!"

As for whether she was surprised to hear they would be returning to do more Futurama at all, Tom replied, "Completely! I think we were down for what, two, three years, so it was really just a blast from the past. But I'm so happy, because it's an incredible group of people. We have so much fun!
