Al Jean, executive producer of the THE SIMPSONS, revealed to CINESCAPE this weekend his thoughts on the oft-discussed SIMPSONS theatrical film.
“There's more information than there had been [about a movie],” he said. “When the actors re-signed earlier this year the contracts called for them to do three movies. The price is fixed as to what they'll get paid, but we don't have a script. We obviously want it to be a really good script, so it involves us getting enough time to develop something that we really want to do. It's so much in the planning stages [at this point]."
So while it sounds as though a SIMPSONS film will happen eventually, fans of the show might have to content themselves with the regular episodes of the program for the time being.
“This is just my opinion,” continued Jean. “But it might be good to wait, like Star TREK, until after the show is done. I think it's going to happen but I could not tell you when."
