This is fresh in from the Rockin’ Rumor Department, but it looks as if FOX is at least thinking about recasting Futurama.  Phil LaMarr’s Facebook page says this:

Phil LaMarr is happy for my friends at Family Guy (Emmy nomination!) and very unhappy for my friends at Futurama (replacing the cast!)

Forces of Geek has a full casting notice for Fry, Leela, Bender, Farnsworth, Zoidberg, Mom, Brannigan and Kif.  This is, obviously, not a final decision and speculation is already rampant that this is just a squeeze play for salary negotiations.  So it may be a tempest in an internet teacup, and let’s hope it is because if they replace the voices for the Futurama return it would suck balls.

This is pretty much exactly what I was talking about last month when the news came that Futurama was coming back.  A show like this is not something that can just be turned off and then turned back on again and the road back to production can be bumpy as hell.   Anyway, here’s hoping.
