Composer Hans Zimmer is expected to write the score for the feature film version of The Simpsons. As a long-time composer for James Brooks – who produces the hit television show – Zimmer is an unlikely choice, as most people were expecting television series composer Alf Clausen (or even Danny Elfman, who wrote the main theme nearly 19 years ago) to be frontrunners. Work on the animated film is expected to begin later this summer.
An Online Petition has been set up by fans to get Danny Elfman on board so if it is of great interest to you, you might want to consider signing it.
