Matt Groening Confirms Another ‘Simpsons’ Movie Will Happen
Again and again, and again and again...
Fox
In 2007, the world collectively lost its shit as one of the biggest shows in television history, The Simpsons, finally made its way to the big screen.
Now, 12 years later, creator Matt Groening has confirmed another film will happen, thanks to Disney’s purchase of Fox earlier this year.
During a recent panel at Comic-Con, Groening said:
“No doubt there will be another Simpsons movie one of these days. I think Disney wants something for its money.”
However, our Simpsons overlord said making the first film took its toll on the creators.
“This is a true answer. The first Simpsons Movie almost killed us,” he said.
“We didn’t have a B-team waiting to do The Simpsons Movie, so the same people who wrote, animated, voiced and did the music for The Simpsons TV show also did the movie.
“That was in 2007. We’re almost recovered, almost.”
The original Simpsons movie grossed over $527 million and is the highest-ever grossing film based on an animated series.
