En una extensa entrevista con Crave Online, Matt Groening, el creador de Los Simpson por si no lo sabes, se despachó con varios detalles de lo que veremos en los próximos meses en la pantalla grande:

Crave Online: Will the movie focus on one character, like Homer?

Matt Groening: No, it’s about the family. It’s one of the nice things about having a full length feature is we don’t have to just tell one or two small stories.

Crave Online: Who’s doing the movie while the show’s still running?

Matt Groening: Anybody who has been an animator on The Simpsons, generally we’ve called them up and said, “Come back.” And got a couple of studios working on the movie. And David Silverman, one of the original directors back in The Tracey Ullman days, supervising director of The Simpsons for many years, is doing this with many veteran directors of the show. And then it’s the home team.

Crave Online: What took so long to do the movie?

Matt Groening: For me, part of the reason was, we’re coming up on the 20th year of the show, we’re coming up on the 400th episode, and if we’re ever going to do it, we should do it now. I don’t want to do it [when] for some reason the show goes away and then do a movie. I thought it would really be neat to do a movie while the fans are still clamoring for it.

Crave Online: Will the movie finally reveal what state Springfield is in?

Matt Groening: Yes. We actually have a really good joke about that. Remember, I said joke.

Esto último ya lo vimos en el tráiler definitivo de la pela. Una broma, y de aquellas.
