The Simpsons Movie has had many updates regarding it in the past few months. The Simpsons.com have made their website into an official site for The Simpsons Movie, where you can find out latest information, and download trailers, media and other video clips. Many promotional images, trailers and other information has been released to the world. A possible plot for the movie has also been leaked. The plot goes as follows:

" When Homer accidentally pollutes the river with toxic waste from the nuclear power plant he gets fired from his job and everyone has to evacuate Springfield, possibly forever."

The plot was discovered on Microsoft's website. Whether it is true or not, only the producers of the movie know. James L Brooks said "We've put out some phony stories". This is probably because they want to increase, or 'hype' up the release of the movie, which will be released to the world on July 27th 2007. There have been some pretty strange rumors about what will happen, I can tell you that! There is even a VERY strange rumour that Bart loses his virginity to the old cat lady, but I can hardly see that the creators will do that sort of strange stuff. Also, some people have said that Homer dies for real and so does Mr Burns in the movie.

Theatres have shown a 27 second short before Ice Age 2. The producers have also advertised it in other movies, and when shows are on tv. But is all this hype really worth it? Adam wolf (owner of Last Exit To Springfield) says no. You can read this interview here, involving Adam Wolf, Matt Groening and James L Brooks.

"The show is completely different now," Wolf says. "To return to the glory years now would be a feat nothing short of amazing, but would also pose the question as to why every show couldn't be as good as the movie."
