‘The Simpsons’ Bits: Second Movie Idea And Live Action Segment
After more than two decades on the air, one would assume it might be difficult forThe Simpsonsto remain current and culturally relevant. However, while it’s not as popular as it was fifteen years ago, week after week, the show remains as solid as any comedy on TV. Then, every once in a while, the show does something so outrageous, we all step back and marvel at their brilliance. There wasthat awesome Banksy momenta few months back and it happened again Sunday night when, during their Season 22 Christmas episode calledThe Fight Before Christmas,the final segment of the show was done in live action featuring a cameo by pop superstar (and wife ofRussell Brand)Katy Perry.
Plus, producerJames L. Brookshas stated he and his fellow show producers have jumped the biggest hurdle when it comes to possibly making a sequel toThe Simpsons Movie. Watch the clip and read the quote after the jump.
Here’s the clip of the live action segment from Sunday night’sThe Simpsons.
As for the movie, producer James L. Brooks is out promoting his new filmHow Do You Know, starring Paul Rudd, Jack Nicholson, Owen Wilson and Reese Withersoon, and he spoke toComing Soonabout the possibility of a secondSimpsonsfilm. The reason the first film tooksuch a long timeto come to fruition was because the writers and producers were having difficulty agreeing on an idea that would be big enough for a movie but also wouldn’t suck. Well, apparently, they now have that idea for a second movie…but there’s no guarantee that it’s going to happen.
[The Simpsons Movie] was a huge success and we’re very open to [a sequel] and we have a beginning notion if we want to do it, but the series always comes first with us. The series is always primary to us.
Do you want to see a secondSimpsonsmovie? Did the first one live up to expectations? And, while we’re on the subject, do you think the show will ever end? Should it ever end?
