David X Cohen Speaks about New Futurama
Wizard Magazine, known for reporting on all things comic books and action figures, has a brand new interview with Futurama creator David X. Cohen about the upcoming DVD and Comedy Central debut of the new season coming in 2008.
On the progress:
We’re about halfway through the writing, but just getting started on the animation. One big decision we have not yet made is how, once again, to “end” the series—hopefully not for the last time.
On the cast returning:
We have the entire cast back, as well as a good chunk of the writing staff. We also have Rough Draft Studios animating once again, and they seem determined to top even their own amazing work from the first time around. To complete the reunion of our original crack team, it looks like we will also have Chris Tyng back to work his magic on the musical score.
On his favorite character:
Hypnotoad. By the way, we are looking into producing a full 22-minute episode of Everybody Loves Hypnotoad for the DVD release. I am serious.
A full episode of “Everybody Loves Hypnotoad“? How awesome is that! Even if you don’t like the show, you’ll like it by the end of theEVERYONEHAILTHEHYPNOTOAD.
The only thing up in the air at this point with the returning series is whether the new episodes will debut on Comedy Central or the DVD release. Either way, I’m excited to see the show come back.
