DVD Fanatic has an interview with THE SIMPSONS producer Mike Reiss and landed a whopper of a scoop: word that development on a SIMPSONS theatrical movie is underway and that there's even an estimated release date for the project!

"It’s been 13 years of wanting to do THE SIMPSONS Movie," explained Reiss to DVD Fanatic. "Finally FOX said, 'Let’s just do it!' We never had the greatest idea that was compelling but FOX said, 'Maybe if we start paying you, you’ll get inspired.' And sure enough it worked! We’ve got a very good and interesting idea and it’s different from the show. You know, it’s like the SOUTH PARK movie where it’s just a bigger, longer, amplified version of the show. I can’t tell you anything specific about it. My wife doesn’t even know the secret."

Reiss estimated that we could wind up seeing THE SIMPSONS on the silver screen as soon as the summer of 2006 or possibly during that year's holiday season. "It's a reality after being just sort of this phantom idea," adds Reiss. "I think it is really gonna happen."

2006? can't wait!
