Simpsons Film in Preproduction

93,000 writes "According to Yahoo news, a Simpsons feature film is now in preproduction. In TFA, Nancy Cartwright is quoted as saying "We've just done the table read for The Simpsons movie, so although we've been promoting that we're going to do it, now we're actually doing it and are in production . . ." Also from TFA: "'They are working on hammering out a script, but there's no title or production date or release date,' studio spokeswoman Antonia Coffman told E! Online Wednesday. 'We always wanted the show to end first but it just keeps going. Now they've worked out a team to simultaneously do [both the film and show].'""

    The movie begins with the same theme song sequence as the show, the family ends up in the living room staring at the TV, but the TV is missing. A road trip begins as the Simpsons search for their missing TV. Their search takes them across deserts, to the Hoover Dam, in the trunks of cars, and ends up in Washington DC, all while being chased by cops and robbers. By the end of the trip, they finally find their TV and they go home. /err wait
