Simpsons Movie Sequel Still Years Away

It's been five years since The Simpsons Movie, but series producers say it could be ten or fifteen years before a sequel comes along--which, of course, places it after almost every projected endpoint to the long-running animated series. "It took us four years [to make] and it killed us," Groening said Saturday at UCLA's annual entertainment symposium, reports The Hollywood Reporter. He added that the movie "stole animators from the show," and drained other resources, and producer David Silverman who was on hand for the event told fans, "Maybe another 10, 15 years."
