Bender's Game

Bender's Game is the third of the four Direct-to-DVD films, to be released in the holiday season of 2008.

As of 8 July, 2007 the voice acting for all the films (which includes the fifth season) is finished, according to Lauren Tom. Guest stars include George Takei and Rich Little as themselves.

On the commentary of Bender's Big Score, David X. Cohen says Bender's Game is probably going to be released by Christmas, 2008. Since then, Bender's Game has been officially confirmed for release in November 2008 in Europe, suggesting it will probably be out before Christmas in America, quite possibly on the one year anniversary of Bender's Big Score.

Plot summary
While plot details are still sketchy, we know that at least one plot will match the "Fantasy" genre, more closely than "Sci-Fi". A preview of Bender's Game was included with The Beast with a Billion Backs. Bender reacts in a curiously terrified manner when he sees Cubert and Dwight playing Dungeons & Dragons. After doing some demolition derby action with the Planet Express Ship, Fry, Leela and the Professor enter another confrontation with Mom and her sons in what appears to be over a small glowing object, possibly a game die. The ground opens beneath them and they fall through, ending up in a fantasy realm, though we only see Fry and Leela climbing out of the hole, with Leela having turned into a centaur. They meet several fantasy versions of their friends: Bender is dressed as a knight, the Professor is a wizard, Amy is queen of the "waternymphos" and Zoidberg appears to be some sort of squid-like blob (he appears as his own head with small tentacles similar to his own tendrils). At some point in the film, Fry and Mom transform into dragons and battle over a large dodecahedronal object, possibly another game die (though the marks on all sides appear identical). There will be several Dungeons and Dragons references. The teaser image indicates that plans were originally in place for Fry to become a Gollum-like character, though this is uncertain to occur in the film as Fry appears as he normally does for the majority of the preview.
