Simpsons Film in Preproduction

93,000 writes "According to Yahoo news, a Simpsons feature film is now in preproduction. In TFA, Nancy Cartwright is quoted as saying "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 . . ." Also from TFA: "'They are working on hammering out a script, but there's no title or production date or release date,' studio spokeswoman Antonia Coffman told E! Online Wednesday. 'We always wanted the show to end first but it just keeps going. Now they've worked out a team to simultaneously do [both the film and show].'""

I wouldn't go that far. Simpsons has evolved, but I wouldn't say it's stopped being funny. There's a reason it's still around. It's because people watch it and are entertained by it. Matt Groening has had the foresight to keep the Simpsons a "living" thing by changing it slightly with the times. I think a movie has big potential as long as they don't let someone else take the reigns.

So what's going to be the big draw to this?

Is Maggie finally going to speak? Smithers finally coming out of the closet? We get to find out where Springfield actually is?

Come on guys, there has to be some big unveiling for the movie!

This could revitalize the show.

This movie has the potential to revitalize the show. Remember, the quality of South Park had decreased somewhat until the release of South Park: The Movie. The movie in turn gave impetus to the TV show. Strangely enough, some have even said that the post-movie seasons of South Park are far more intellectual than the pre-movie seasons. Now, that's a matter of personal taste, but I think that this movie could do the exact same for The Simpsons television show.

One minor continuity flaw simpson fans will gladly overlook in exchange of a nude shower scene.
