Though talk of a full-length Simpsons movie has surrounded the hit series since its earliest seasons, chatter and rumor consistently failed to result in anything beyond "possibilities" for years and through hundreds of episodes. In fact, it wasn't until the conclusion of the Emmy award winning program's 17th season that a movie was given full confirmation and, beyond that, a release date of July 27, 2007. Now, eight months prior to that date, a brand new trailer is giving fans their first glimpse of completed footage.
Unfortunately, little regarding the film's premise can be garnered from the brief segment beyond the fact that Homer will have to rescue his family and suffer a great deal in the process. Early reports, however, have suggested that fans will be seeing the fallout of an accident at the nuclear power plant that ruins springfield's drinking water. Needless to say, Homer is found to be the cause of the mishap and is fired. The townspeople, meanwhile, stage a mass exodus.
Leaked footage of animatics for The Simpsons Movie that was displayed at Comic-Con 2006 certainly supports the rumors as it depicts 742 Evergreen Terrace falling before a siege of irate townsfolk crying for Homer Simpson's head.
