The Simpson's Are Making A Movie

June 13, 2005


(BANG) - 'The Simpsons' star Nancy Cartwright has revealed the movie version of the much-loved cartoon show is underway.

The actress, who voices Bart Simpson, has confessed the long-awaited project is finally in pre-production after months of speculation.

She said: "We've just done the table read for 'The Simpsons' movie, so now we're actually in production."

However, Cartwright insists the film won't be ready for at least two years.

She added: "I can't talk much more about it, but it's going to be great and the fans are going to dig it."

Previously, creator Matt Groening had hinted the series, which started in 1989, would end with a big-screen adaptation.

But Groening recently revealed he had no plans on calling time on the show because it was still attracting massive viewing figures.
