HOMER'S BIG TEASE
Homer, The Simpsons
The many who went to see
Ice Age: The Meltdown this weekend were treated to a 20-second teaser for the long-rumored feature take on
The Simpsons. The trailer, which opens on a Superman-like "S" logo — only to reveal it's part of Homer's undershirt tag — and touts a July 27, 2007, release, "is running on 7,000 screens, committing us to opening every place in the world on the same date," exec producer
James L. Brooks tells
Variety. "Which means, we'd better get started." As for the top-secret story line,
Mike Scully, who is penning the film with
Simpsons creator
Matt Groening, says, "We've taken script security to the point of lunacy, though it helped that we wrote it in Aramaic."
