Whilst reports appear to be sketchy, it appears even though the movie has not been given the green light, it’s damn close. Replying to a question in an audio interview John DiMaggio (The voice of Bender) is reported as saying the following:

Actually, I was at the 350th episode of The Simpsons party over at FOX and ran into David X. Cohen and Matt. And David said “Yeah, we’re gonna do some straight to DVD movies.” I said “all right, well, when I hear Matt say it I’ll know.” Then I said “Matt, what’s up? Give me the straight stuff.” And he said “Yeah”. So basically, I think what they’re gonna do is they’re gonna … do straight to DVD movies that’ll be on the air quality. And if FOX wants to put them on, Matt will be like “Guys, put’em on.” Looks like we’re gonna do it. I haven’t heard anything contract-wise or anything like that. So … anything can happen. But once I sign my name on the dotted line, I’ll be singing in the streets.

Billy West, the voice of Fry, Zoidberg and the professor is also reported to have stated that the project has been greenlit with another audio interview, this time with IGN.

Whilst all this seems to confirm that a movie is in the works, gotfuturama, one of the leading sources of Futurama news, says that David X. Cohen has NOT been given the greenlight yet. The movie seems close though!
