It was mentioned in the news part of empireonline.co.uk a few days ago. It is scheduled for a 2008 release, that is when The Simpsons are 20 years old :eek:

Some news on The Simpsons Movie announced today. From JoBlo.com:

JoBlo.com wrote:

You'd think a movie based on "The Simpsons" would be a sure thing. But no, it's been stuck in production hell for years now.

In a recent interview Al Jean, executive producer of the show, did with Entertainment Weekly, however, he mentioned the reason for the delay was "the biggest thing is you don't want to do a movie that's not reflective of the quality of the show, and you don't want the quality of the show to slip because you're doing the movie. So we're taking a little time."

Little time? I guess he counts time exponentially. The silver lining, however, is that they're looking at a possible 2008 release date.

Finally, when asked about the plot for the movie, his appropriately cryptic response was '"there are a couple things on the show that I steered away from what might be in the movie".

For the rest of the interview and some more "Simpsons" related news, go HERE.

I was at a talk with Nancy Cartwright (The Voice of Bart Simpson, etc.) a year or two ago and she said (pretty positive!) that it was in their contracts to have a film so it WILL happen, I'm sorry to report.

Good stuff! Simpsons movie would be great!

I wouldn't think so, not at the rate the Simpsons is degenerating at the minute

Bri · 11-11-2004 11:29am

Exactly. If the new episodes are poor imagine how many subplots and so on would fill a 1-2hr movie!

A Simpson's film would be a big mistake based on the quality of the last few series. I can't think of any reason why they should make a film (apart from the money they'll make). Why not improve the show's quality first and then try making a film.

Christ, I'd have to sit through an hour and a half of the garbage they put out now? Not a chance. Someone please cancel the show before it gets even worse.

Makaveli · 11-11-2004 1:34pm

Hopefully by the time it's supposed to go into production the series will have been canned.
It really is awful at this stage and I find it's tainting the older episodes.

neGev · 11-11-2004 3:22pm

Money does still talk. I could well see this happening because you know you'd go to see it, just on the off-chance that it might actually be good, or just because it's the Simpsons, or for nostalgia value or loads of other reasons :mad:

mayordenis · 11-11-2004 3:25pm

oh no

Although the last few series haven't been up to par, the very latest ones are better. Maybe The Simpsons is heading into a second golden age.

Why does someone glue you to a seat and force you to watch it? Seriously my brother just stopped watchin the new ones coz he thinks they're sh*te, you can still watch the old ones! Although personally I've seen the old ones so many times since I was six that they now mean nothing to me

Aye

A movie could be good if they brought back all the old writers.

Pigman II · 13-11-2004 9:07am

The film could be good ..... if the current writing staff were all taken out & executed and replaced by 1,000 monkeys at 1,000 typewriters .... and oh if Matt Groening actually started to care again about the output of his ****heap show.

Nothing good could come of this...

Yes, it'll be complete poo and make Matt Groening another canyon-load of money.

Remember where you heard it first.
