Anyone guess the 5 writers?
I'm hoping it will be George Meyer, Jon Vitti, John Swatzwelder, Sam Simon and Jeff Martin. And then there is AJ and MR.
I reckon the first three I mention will be in there, although I think MG and someone else are more likely than the other two. Possibly David Mirkin and, as much as I hope not (although, as most are agreed) his writing was quite good.
let's hope it's not 'THE SIMPSONS ARE GOING TO ____' like so many other cartoon show spinoff movies.
I'd say that's more the style of non-cartoon TV shows, as the increased budgets mean they can afford to film somewhere else. With cartoons, that isn't really a factor.
Also, as Mike Reiss mentions Al Jean is writing the movie, and based on what they both said about their work hours on the S3 commentaries, does anyone think that Al Jean may not be staying as EP for that long? That presuming that there is heavy work on the movie. And, if five veteran writers are also working on it, we may see one of the "newer" lot.
I just hope they don't go with the Bart loses his virginity plot that Reiss suggested a while ago...
