Hank Azaria Has Idea For Simpson Movie Sequel - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Having grossed more than $525 million worldwide, The Simpsons Movie is all but guaranteed to see a sequel, and voice cast member Hank Azaria has an intriguing concept. The actor told the MTV Movie Blog that he would like to see a feature-length treatment of Treehouse of Horror, the popular annual Halloween installment of the long running animated FOX series. The film would play like a comedic toon version of the cult classic Trilogy of Terror, perhaps with Homer being terrorized by a knife-weilding Zuni fetish doll.

It took about 18 years for creator Matt Groening and the rest of the Simpsons crew to commit to making a movie based on the hit show, and its unlikely that they would rush into production on a sequel, though the wheels are reportedly turning. There’s no word on what direction it will take, but a Treehouse of Horror approach does offer a lot of potential for parody and anything-goes storylines that don’t necessarily have to adhere to the show’s bible.

Azaria told MTV that whatever the producers decide to do, he wants to play a bigger part than he did in the first movie. “Whenever my characters get fleshed out, it’s more fun for me,” he says, referring to such favorites as Moe the bartender, Kwik-E-Mart shop keeper Apu and Police Chief Wiggum.

That sounds interesting for a Simpsons sequel.

The Treehouse of Horror episodes are my favorite ones, so I like that idea a lot. The only problem is that we already have 18 Treehouse of Horror episodes, so it's not going to be a radically new storyline idea or anything.
