Simpsons producers tease second movie and say second it is in 'early stages'

It's been 10 years since The Simpsons was last on cinema screens, and following its success many have touted the possibility of a sequel.

Last year, producer Al Jean suggested there could be another one on the way, though only provided it was going to be really good.

Well, Jean and fellow producer David Silverman have once again raised the idea of a second film based on The Simpsons, though suggested it was quite a way off yet.

"I'd love for there to be another one," Silverman told Entertainment Weekly. "We're still a ways away from it.

"We talk about this and that. We're thinking it over, but nothing's happening just yet….. It's still daunting because it really knocked the stuffing out of us to do the movie and the show at the same time."

Jean added that the movie had been discussed "just in the vaguest strokes, just in the possibility of it", adding: "I'd say [it's in] the very earliest stages."

It was previously revealed that a season 26 episode where Kang and Kodos take Homer and the family was touted as a movie idea, though was later used as an episode.

"I certainly am cautious about a couple things," Jean added. "I wouldn't want it to be risky in terms of budget, and I would not want it to be anything that we did purely for the money. I would want it to be a really great movie. I personally feel no need for another one unless it's great."

Meanwhile, at Comic-Con last week Jean revealed that the show turned down a guest appearance from Donald Trump many years ago.

Producer Bill Oakley later tweeted: "I continue to thank God that Donald Trump was never invited to do a voice on The Simpsons even during the brief period when he was popular."

Trump has been given various appearances since, though they are not exactly as the president would have liked. And we love The Simpsons even more for it.

>implying these niggas even have standards
 
The first movie wasn't even that good in retrospect. And with the incredible decline after it, this movie is going to suck pretty bad.
 
If they make another movie how do they follow up on Bart's dong?

They don't because in the #woke year of 2017 a three second shot of Bart's limp cock for comedic effect will cause the hymens of a million virgins to burst and as the world drowns in a sea of menstrual blood amid the anguished cries of "The Simpsons Movie 2 raped me!" a panicked Donald Trump wakes up in a cold sweat and utters, "So it has begun, the great shitlordening, praise Kek!"

I suppose we aught to be lucky we saw a character be anatomically correct at all a decade back.

First movie was ok, it was better than the last 15 or so seasons.

This is standard with a dying TV series. Have a half-decent movie and then the series itself goes to absolute, utter shit.

Now they're just suckling at the fluids of the corpse, though. This is a horrible idea.

Unless this movie's going to tie everything up and end the show. Then I agree.

But somehow I doubt that's going to happen.
 
I don't say this lightly, but The Simpsons needs to be taken out back and shot. Every new episode reduces the ratio of good jokes to bad, and their pandering to "classic fans" is annoying.
 
"Yeah, let's make fun of Trump, Repubs, conservatives, etc. for the umpteenth time. That'll herd the sheep back home."

No. Just no - especially to the low - hanging fruit they're going for with their piss - poor stance(s) on politics.

When is this show gonna die? Nothing that followed the first official movie was worth all this time and money being wasted here. Especially not another one of these.
 
Someone tackles what made The Simpsons different after the first 8 seasons...
 
That rewritten airport joke actually made me laugh pretty hard. It's interesting how just a small change in the punchline can change it from being dumb to brilliant, but even more interesting that the modern Simpsons writers don't even bother making such small changes.

I thought of that too. It just comes off like lazy writing the way they go about it today on the show. It's as if nobody wants to dare add in those layers.

Another guy who thinks "The Principal and The Pauper" was the turning point.
 
Interestingly I feel a lot of what plagues current modern Simpsons episodes that fans dislike is also found in doses in the earlier seasons - wacky plots, Homer changing jobs, celebrity guest stars (Marge vs the Monorail is exactly the three things combined, yet everybody calls that episode a classic).

I guess the difference is they were still in small doses compared to nowadays, that almost every episode is a mixture of the three.

(I still sorta disagree with that guy in the first video who seems utterly convinced the best season was the first, which I find very unwatchable).

This guy often reviews Simpsons episodes and I think he gets the problem with the Principal and the Pauper:

Eh, I wouldn't say it's about the dosage as much as it is about context.

Homer at the Bat is one of my favourite episodes even though I'm not American and know next to nothing about baseball or baseball players, but the guest stars are funny and given funny things to do. Darryl crying over some hooting? Wade getting punched in the face over an argument about England's greatest prime minister? Clemens clucking like a chicken? Hilarious. Gushing over celebrities ("PRIME MINISTER TONY BLAIR!", "JK ROWLING, YOU TAUGHT AN ENTIRE GENERATION OF KIDS HOW TO READ", "YOU KNOW TONY HAWK??") is not funny.
