A Variety of Sci Fi News Stories

Variety has a couple of interesting stories up today. First is the news that Fox might be looking for new voice actors for Futurama. Sounds like it’s all about the money, with the original actors, including Billy West and Katey Sagal, wanting more than Fox is willing to pay.

If they can’t get all of the originals back, should they even bother to make new episodes or is it more about the show than the actors?

Variety is also reporting that Warner Brothers and Leo DiCaprio’s production company are in development on a new Twlight Zone movie. Rand Ravich is set to pen the script.

Finally, Brian Lowry has an interesting piece on the power struggle between Comic Con and the TCA’s (Television Critics Association tour) as print reporters battle to remain relevant in an online world.
