Stephen Hawking Is Back In Futurama DVD

The Planet Express gang is back in action in the trailer for their next direct-to-DVD movie, Futurama: The Beast With A Billion Backs. Bender encounters another universe, and immediately starts taunting its inhabitants, which unleashes a giant creature on Earth. The monster starts up a new religion (where Fry is the leader) and convinces all of the humans to move away from Earth (leaving the streets to the robots). All the animated favorites return along with a few newbies, with voice cameos from David Cross, Stephen Hawking, Brittany Murphy and Dan Castellaneta.

Special effects are killing movies. The cost of making the 50-year-old Ray Winstone look "17 again" in Beowulf is just one example of the SFX excesses that drove up the cost of movie-making by 16 percent between 2004 and 2006. Meanwhile, DVD sales are plummeting. Image by James Higgins/Splash News [Times of London]
