Finally, a script appears to be in the works for a Simpson’s movie. It’s about time. I have to admit, I’d have been more excited to hear this news a few seasons ago. Sounds like it’s gonna be at least another 5 years before it hits theaters, which is like telling your kid you’re going to Disney World 3 years in advance. But my real worry is that we’re gonna see a Simpson’s movie of the caliber of the past few seasons and not Simpson’s in it’s prime. So a couple questions:
I’d love to see a Simpsons movie that took a slightly different take, like with live action or with the kids about eight years older or done in Pixar style.
Are we expecting the show to last five more years? I shudder to think. I think it’s obvious that this can be a wonderfully written tribute to the series and its fans…or a steaming pile, a lot of it depends on timing. And please god no live action or CG simpsons for at least 20 years when it can be a gimicky movie based on a “classic” cartoon (scooby doo).
Icle a while back that said that they were trying to do the same thing for the Simpsons movie that Matt Stone and Trey Parker did for Sout Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut, and that the original writers of the Simpsons were doing the writing for the movie.
