Inspired by Gary Gygax's death?


Was it a coincidence that the Futurama folks just happened to be working on a movie that involved Dungeons & Dragons when Gary Gygax died? He died on March 4, 2008, and the movie was released on November 4, 2008. Is 8 months enough time to put together a (direct-to-DVD) movie? Yes, I know this was the second in a series of planned movies, but how detailed were those plans originally? Could they have had something else in mind and then scrapped that at the last minute?
