Matt Groening says Simpsons Movie sequel not happening anytime soon.
Remember that UCLA symposium we told you about a while ago that had Simpsons dudes there? Well, turns out bad news was the name of the game when it came to the future of The Simpsons Movie sequel.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, 400 jerkoff entertainment lawyers attended a Q & A with the recently Oscar screwed David Silverman and Matt Groening both of whom had some bad news to spare:
“It took us four years [to make] and it killed us,” Groening said Saturday at UCLA’s annual entertainment symposium, where he sat for a keynote Q&A with longtime Simpsons producer-director David Silverman. The movie “stole animators from the show,” Groening said, and drained other resources. “Maybe another 10, 15 years” Silverman added.
So, I hope David was joking when he said that because if you take a quick look at the Simpsons staff, another 10 years might kill them. Harry Shearer is pushing 70, Julie Kavner is 62, and Hank Azaria is bald. Put all this together and you can damn well bet we might not ever get a Simpsons Movie.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
