The the year long hype begin! The Simpsons Movie is coming in July of 07, we all know that by know, but according to the good folks over at AICN, the director and writers from the project are already in place as well (I suppose they’d have to be at this point if the film is coming out in a year.
Here’s what they had to say:
THE SIMPSONS MOVIE is written by Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, Al Jean, Brian Scully, Ian Maxtone-Graham, George Meyer, David Mirkin, Mike Reiss, Matt Selman, John Swartzwelder, and Jon Vitti. In related news, Reuters is reporting that David Silverman, co-director of Pixar’s MONSTERS, INC., director of many SIMPSONS episodes (and now the series’ “supervising director”) is helming the movie.

Borat creator Sacha Baron Cohen reportedly signs a $42.5m (£22m) film deal starring his character Bruno…
Lets hope that they don’t screw this one up.
10 writers!!! They need 10 writers!!!!
“We’re very excited about the performances in this movie. Come next Oscars, we think it’s going to be Millhouse’s night,” quipped Groening.

It’s good to see that he’s involved.
