ShizzlePie Movie News

Well remember that story we posted a few days ago about the location of Springfield not being known? Well the competition has been completed and a new home for the famous yellow family has been found, the new place is Springfield, Vermont.

Well that is good that it has finally been announced, I bet the people in the small Vermont town are happy about that. They were a late entry and beat out all the other competitors with 14% of all votes, with there closest competition having 13%, close call.

The town has roughly 9,300 people and managed to rally the townspeople through local media and mass email (need I say fucking spammers!). They will get the yellow carpet and the voices and everything at there humble little town. Here is some more information on the winning entry

The winning entry took two days to film with help from the Vermont Film Commission. It begins much like the opening sequence of the TV show, with the familiar theme song playing as Vermont’s Homer chases a giant doughnut (actually an inner tube designed by a local graphic artist) through the town, causing mayhem wherever he goes. The townspeople chase after him until they are beckoned into the movie theater, where they sit down for the premiere of The Simpsons Movie.

Well sounds all fine and dandy. I did find a good little article on the location of the yellow people, if you have the time, I suggest you head on over and have a read of it, the article is located here

Well a new Bond book is about to hit the stores. The author is a British man who goes by the name Sebastian Faulks. The book was authorized by the estate of Ian Fleming and it going to most likely hit the stores in 2008, which does mark 100 years since the birth of Fleming.

The novel which goes by the name Devil May Care. It is set during the Cold War and Faulks tries his hardest to mesh a lot of his writing with the style of Fleming. The book spans 2 continents and is going to be published by Penguin UK. Faulks had this to say about the book

I tried to isolate the essential and the most enjoyable aspects of the books. Then I took that pattern and added characters and a story of my own with as much speed and as many twists as I thought the reader could bear. I developed a prose that is about 80 per cent Fleming. I didn’t go the final distance for fear of straying into pastiche, but I strictly observed his rules of chapter and sentence construction. My novel is meant to stand in the line of Fleming’s own books, where the story is everything.

At the present moment in time the film rights have not been sold, but EON is most likely to pick up the rights as they made a name for themselves in producing and getting the Bond films out there. I did enjoy Casino Royale so hopefully this one is good as well
