A concept trailer posted on YouTube by Multiverse Of AI imagines Adam Sandler starring as Homer, the patriarch of the family. The trailer even features a voice-over narration using the actor’s voice generated by AI.

People were quite impressed to see the Hollywood A-listers playing the animated characters.
“This is the perfect cast. I thought that was an actual movie trailer. Please make this a real thing. THE WORLD NEEDS THIS!!!” one fan wrote.
“Ok, not gonna lie, the casting was the pretty peak,” somebody else commented.
“Man I’m kind of sad that this isn’t a movie because I would absolutely pay to watch this,” a third fan chimed in.
Another commenter couldn’t help but point out that the ambitious casting director would make the producers go bankrupt. “This would need a budget of 325,000,000 just to pay all the actors.”

Others proposed alternative casting choices for the Simpsons family.
“I always thought Homer in real life would look like an overweight Bruce Willis,” a fan suggested, while another said, “Adam Sandler looks more like Al Bundy than Homer Simpson.”
The Matt Groening-created sitcom is set to debut its 36th season on Fox this fall.
It is television’s longest-running scripted show, as per the LA Times.
While a Simpsons live action is not on the horizon, fans could soon watch a sequel to the animated feature on the big screen.

Neil Patrick Harris would be cast as Smithers
Ben Stiller would run the famous tavern as Moe Szyslak
Al Jean, the show’s co-runner, spoke with Screen Rant before the release of Inside Out 2 and said the success of the film could influence their decision to make a second animated Simpsons film.
“I think it’s a bigger issue than The Simpsons. On several levels, we’re really hoping for Inside Out 2 to do great this summer. I want to see the animation business completely return to what it was before the pandemic. And then, I think if that was the case, it would make sense to do The Simpsons theatrically.
“But I understand that it’s an issue above me about, ‘Where would you release it? And how would you release it?'”
Watch the trailer for the live-action adaptation below:
“And we are, with the shorts and other things, streaming on Disney+, so I love seeing animated movies in theaters. I loved The Boy and the Heron, which just won the Oscar; I’ll always go see the Miyazaki movies that come out.
“So, I really am all for animation being fully theatrical, so I hope that’s where it goes.”
To say Inside Out 2 was successful would be an understatement. The film crossed the $1 billion mark in just 19 days of release, the fastest ever for an animated movie, as per the Walt Disney Company.
The first Simpsons Movie was released in 2007. The film, which follows the protagonists as their hometown of Springfield is quarantined under a giant glass dome after Homer pollutes the local lake, became a box-office hit, grossing $536.4 million worldwide.
