Seems like Mr.West was mis-informed,sorry for getting anyone's hopes up. :(
I don't know if this information is 100% true, since it came from Wikipedia:
On April 26, 2006, the parody newspaper The Onion's real-life entertainment section, "The A.V. Club", published an interview with Futurama co-creator Matt Groening, in which he discussed plans to create four straight-to-DVD movies. Groening noted that co-creator David X. Cohen and numerous writers from the original series would be returning to work on the movies.[9]
On June 22, 2006, Comedy Central announced that 13 new episodes were to be produced, to air with the reruns in 2008. Comedy Central also confirmed that Billy West, Katey Sagal, and John DiMaggio would return for the new episodes, with a 2008 debut planned.[2]
The first movie, currently under the working title Futurama: Bender's Big Score, is in production with an as-of-yet unknown release date. The film is written by Ken Keeler and David X. Cohen, and will include return appearances by the Nibblonians, Seymour, Barbados Slim, Morbo, Santa Bot, the "God" space entity, Al Gore, and Zapp Brannigan.
