The voices behind The Simpsons have come to
terms with the shows producers over their compensation. Last month, the
cast refused to go back to work on the program unless they got a hefty
raise (see
story). It worked and the actors that provide the voices to the hit
Fox series nearly tripled their pay from $125,000 an episode to $360,000.
Simpsons fans can now exhale, production
on the 16th season of the show will soon get underway. The actors Dan Castellaneta
(Homer), Nancy Cartwright (Bart), Yeardley Smith (Lisa), Julie Kavner (Marge),
Hank Azaria (bartender Moe and Apu) and Harry Shearer (Mr. Burns and Ned
Flanders) will be on hand to produce the 22 new episodes, which Fox says
will air this year, despite rumors to the contrary.
There is also a script underway for a film
version of The Simpsons but fans will have to wait a while to see their
favorite family of animated misfits on the big screen. Because of the animation
involved, it may take as long as three years to produce and release a feature
length film.
