Finally a confirmation! And even more than we expected! A 20th Century Fox rep has confirmed that Futurama will return for at least 26 more episodes. The show’s return is planned for early 2010.

The show didn’t hit its massively popular peak until DVD sales skyrocketed and Comedy Central’s reruns brought in the ratings. While the money is surely the reason Futurama has been picked back up, the details mean little to me. Your favorite animated series from the future is back! And as you can see from the photo above, the crew is mighty excited as well. Can the series live up to its first four seasons?

20th Century Fox is having a bad week. Like, a really bad week. Yesterday, a work print of the upcoming movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine leaked online and consequently, made its way around the world. A work print is a copy of the movie straight from the studio, but it may be missing effects, post-production audio, etc.

And such was the case. I got a copy of the movie yesterday and a few of us all watched it. It was not only a terribly incomplete movie, with Hugh Jackman still hanging from ropes in some scenes and 3-D wireframes all over the place, the plot was just awful. I’m glad I had a newspaper to read whilst my roommates continued watching.

Either way, Fox is pissed, the FBI has been called in and rumor has it Rising Sun Pictures, an Australian visual FX company, leaked the damn print. To piracy and beyond!

Watchmen Exclusive

Pumped for the upcoming Watchmen flick that’s directed by Zack Snyder? You betcha. Despite the torrent of legal issues surrounding the film, FOX and Warner Bros., News Corp felt compelled to leak a behind-the-scenes video to MySpace the other day and the result is a video tour de force. Never before has a superhero/supervillian movie based on a comic looked so good before! The power of Dr. Manhattan! Can you even handle this kind of cinema? Let’s hope so.

Looks like FOX has gone custom iPod crazy as of late. First, there was a custom Simpsons iPod offering from the company. Now, you can believe that Gillian Anderson’s breasts are real (and watch videos!) with this X-Files themed iPod. Created for ultra-fanboys like myself who worshiped both Mulder and Scully, these new designs are available courtesy of FOX.

An 80GB version of the iPod Classic will set you back $329 and features an old-school shot of the logo with Mulder and Scully. There’s also a black $269 8GB iPod Nano with a silhouette of the two agents walking down a field. Like I said, anyone who remembers classics like “Humbug” and “Paper Hearts” will surely pick one up. At these prices, you’d better believe.
