Here’s some articles to keep you up to date with the latest in Simpsons news during this somewhat news-lacking week.

Think you know what The Simpsons Movie is about? Think again. Simpsons Producer James L Brooks claims that 70% of the theatrical trailer is not even in the finished film: “It started out as people wanting to know what it was about, and then we were having fun with it, putting out false story lines. We’ve revealed more with each successive trailer. We’ll continue to do that,” Brooks told EW. “We saw a trailer the other day, and somebody said 70 percent of the things in it — based on where we were eight weeks ago — are no longer in the movie, because we keep on fooling around.” Brooks also revealed that “there are 94 speaking parts [so far]. And our animals don’t speak,” and “at least one [new character]. If you count nonhuman, two.”

Meanwhile, Newsweek is reporting that we’ll be seeing more of Bart Simpson than anybody wants to in the movie. “In one shocking moment, little Bart flashes his little part to the entire world. Which may make this the first Hollywood film to show that kind of skin and to escape an R rating.” And we’re going to leave that one alone.
