Back in July, Cinema Relics unveiled the first trailer for Fan-O-Rama: A Futurama Fan Film, featuring a live-action take on Fry, Leela, Bender, and the rest of the gang. Now, they've released the 18-minute long live-action film in its entirety.
The story begins with Fry and Bender doing what they do best: sitting on a couch, drinking beer, and watching TV. When they run out of ale, they come across a beer commercial that promotes a contest giving away a lifetime supply of free beer. To win, they'll have to write an amazing jingle.
Fan-O-Rama: A Futurama Fan Film was directed by Dan Lanigan and written by Lanigan, Andy Klimczak, and Kody Frederick. The cast features Kody Frederick as Fry/Professor, Katie Lanigan as Leela, Andy Klimczak as Zoidberg, Richard Little as Head of Richard M. Nixon, Vic Mignogna as Zapp Brannigan, Olivia Yang as Amy/Alien Model, and Brock Baker voices Bender, Zoidberg, and Professor.

Hatched from the mind of The Simpsons creator Matt Groening, Futurama blasts contemporary culture and science fiction alike with an animated comedy barrage. Hapless NYC pizza guy Philip J. Fry (voiced by Billy West) makes a fateful delivery to a cryonics lab on New Year's Eve, 1999 when he's accidentally flash-frozen until the next millennium. Reawakened in 31st century New New York, he finds work at his great-great-etc. grandnephew's Planet Express delivery service. Together with his hedonist robot buddy Bender (voiced by John DiMaggio) and cyclopsian love interest Leela (voiced by Katey Sagal), Fry travels to the farthest reaches of the universe. Along the way they discover strange alien life forms, velour-clad lotharios, freaky mutants, intergalactic conspiracies and the disembodied heads of celebrities throughout the ages.
