Matt Groening Talks 'The Simpsons' Feature Film

[Friday, March 21st, 2003]
Matt Groening has been speaking with Calgary Sun about creating a feature film for 'The Simpsons'. "We're talking about doing it." said Groening. "We just want to make sure, if we do, it doesn't follow in the dismal footsteps of other currently-running TV shows turned into movies. I can only think of one that worked and that was South Park."

Groening adds, "You want to honour the fans of the show, but you want to give them a little more. With the TV show, every week it's like a little movie. There are certainly enough incidents to fill a regular movie comedy. Whether people could stand it for an hour and a half, I don't know."
