BBC's Radio 1 spoke with Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson in The Simpsons, who says a feature film adaptation of the popular Fox animated comedy series is moving forward.

"You know what? We've just done the table read for the 'Simpsons' movie so although we've been promoting that we're going to do it, now we're actually doing it and are in production," said Cartwright, who is in London for her one-woman show "My Life as a Ten Year Old Boy".

She said it will likely take at least two years to make. "I don't know the name of it and I can't go into details about it and we'll just have to see how it goes, but I think it's going to be great and the fans are going to dig it."

The Simpsons has been on Fox since December 17, 1989.

Ay Caramba! "Simpsons" Movie Going


Get ready to toast your Flaming Moes to some excellent news.

The Simpsons movie is off the drawing board and in preproduction.

"You know what? We've just done the table read for The Simpsons movie, so although we've been promoting that we're going to do it, now we're actually doing it and are in production," Nancy Cartwright, who gives voice to Bart Simpson, told BBC Radio 1 this week.

Cartwright, in London doing publicity for her one-woman show, My Life as a Ten-Year-Old Boy, indicated that the movie is still in the preliminary script development stage and it will take at least two years before it's fully animated and ready for release.

Lets hope its not a few years to late, the shows have been going downhill the past few years. IMO.

 

[JPlay]

No, the show is still great. Homer is off the heezee. The humor is still cutting edge.

 

[Pariah]

Homer is off the heezee.

I have no fizzle idea what that means.

I agree. The South Park movie came just as the TV series was picking up steam. Personally, I stopped watching the Simpsons in about 1997 or '98 and haven't cared much for them since. Other shows like Family Guy, Drawn Together, South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Wonder Showzen (alright, not animated, but still funny as hell) have taken the place of the Simpson's for me, as their comedy moves one hell of a lot faster.

I took a break from the Simpsons for a while but I have been watching the re-runs at 10:00 and 10:30 on WB61 while I lay in bed at night and they still have some funny stuff. Plus it's nice to see all the shows in re-runs that I never saw the first time. I can't watch Family Guy any more because I've seen every episode like 20 times

 

[TastyNugget]

Other shows like ... Wonder Showzen... (alright, not animated, but still funny as hell)

HA! I love this show! Just started getting into it recently, apparently they are running 1st season re-runs now... The blue puppet kicks triumph's doggie butt.

 

[100%CardsFan]

Cant beat the original and the longest running series EVER! Simpsons are the best. Family guy is funny, South Park sucks balls and both bit all of their material from the Simpsons.

 

[JPlay]

No character can fade Homer.

Simpsons Teaser Revealed this Weekend

April 1, 2006

20th Century Fox surprised moviegoers on Friday as the studio included a short teaser for The Simpsons Movie with prints of the anticipated Ice Age: The Meltdown.

The 25-second clip opens with a giant superhero-sized letter "S" while an announcer declares, "Leaping his way onto the silver screen, the greatest hero in American history!" It then cuts to Homer Simpson sitting on his couch in his tighty whities. "I forgot what I was supposed to say," he says. The narrator continues, "'The Simpsons Movie,' coming to the screen, July 27, 2007." "Uh, oh," says Homer, "we better get started."

We're hearing that you'll be able to catch the teaser trailer on TV during this Sunday's episode titled "Million Dollar Abie".

Having debuted on Jan. 14, 1990, The Simpsons reigns as the longest-running animated series in history and the longest-running primetime series currently on television. It was created by Matt Groening and developed by James L. Brooks. The Simpsons started as a segment of Fox's The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987-88.

The Simpsons Movie Trailer this Sunday

November 10, 2006

20th Century Fox will world premiere the new trailer for The Simpsons Movie this Sunday, November 12, during the latest "Simpsons" episode on Fox at 8/7c.

In the episode, titled "GI (Annoyed Grunt)," after Bart gets out of a commitment to join the Army at 18, Homer falls prey to a couple of Army recruiters and lands himself in basic training. Homer, of course, treats this like summer camp and infuriates his hard-nosed colonel (Kiefer Sutherland) when he is unfazed by the constant hazing and humiliation.

The big screen adaptation, directed by David Silverman, hits theaters on July 27, 2007.

 

[NEZCardsfan]

I wish they wouldn't do this....but the Simpsons has probably come to an end anyway. Is the movie going to end everything??

No, The Simpsons is signed for a couple more seasons.

 

[bankybruce]

I was dissapointed with the preview. They make a big deal that is was going to be more than it was.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Yeah, I was expecting a full theatrical trailer and not a 15 second blurb. The new episode wasn't very good either. I'll still see the movie (big fan of the first decade-ish of the simpsons, haven't watched many new episode of the last several seasons), but my expectations aren't very high.

 

[Hollywood]

Almost here.

 

[Hollywood]

So I am the only one geared up to see this movie?

 

[Covert Rain]

No. I can't wait either. It's weird but this show has been on so long that an entire generation has basically grown up with the Simpsons. I hope it's funny.

 

[Hollywood]

We will be on vacation when the movie comes out so I told my wife that she needs to plan on us seeing that movie while we are away.

 

[Assface]

I'm really looking forward to seeing this. Trailer looks hilarious.

 

[Toothbrush]

Can't wait.
