The film is produced by two-time Emmy® winner Marc Platt (“Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert,” “Grease Live!”), Miranda, two-time Emmy winner John DeLuca (“Tony Bennett: An American Classic”), and Rob Marshall, with Jeffrey Silver (“The Lion King”) serving as executive producer. The game follows Bart as he finds a manual to 'The Simpsons Game' and, with it, gains video game like powers. The game features locales and characters commonly featured in the Simpsons TV series. The songs feature music from multiple Academy Award® winner Alan Menken (“Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin”) and lyrics by Howard Ashman, and new lyrics by three-time Tony Award® winner Lin-Manuel Miranda. The Simpsons Game is an action platformer for the Wii, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, PSP and Nintendo DS (each platform has its own exclusive box art design). “The Little Mermaid” is directed by Oscar® nominee Rob Marshall (“Chicago,” “Mary Poppins Returns”)with a screenplay by two-time Oscar nominee David Magee (“Life of Pi,” “Finding Neverland”). The film stars singer and actress Halle Bailey (“grown-ish”) as Ariel Jonah Hauer-King (“A Dog’s Way Home”) as Prince Eric Tony Award® winner Daveed Diggs (“Hamilton”) as the voice of Sebastian Awkwafina (“Raya and the Last Dragon”) as the voice of Scuttle Jacob Tremblay (“Luca”) as the voice of Flounder Noma Dumezweni (“Mary Poppins Returns”) as Queen Selina Art Malik (“Homeland”) as Sir Grimsby with Oscar® winner Javier Bardem (“No Country for Old Men”) as King Triton and two-time Academy Award® nominee Melissa McCarthy (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?” “Bridesmaids”) as Ursula. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. EA executives said yesterday in a conference call that the title was currently planned to generally coincide with the DVD, rather than theater, release of the film.“The Little Mermaid” is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The game is expected to debut this fall cross-platform. We’re also especially proud of the game’s warm visual feel, which captures – for the first time ever in a game – the look of the TV show.” Said executive producer Scot Amos, “Our goal in developing The Simpsons Game is to create the most original game ever, which is a lofty goal and only possible given the close collaboration with ‘The Simpsons’ creative team. To drive home the gaming-world referential humor, the debut of the title, which coincided with the announcement of the TV show's 400th episode, featured a number of promotional parody posters, showing Bartman Begins, Medal of Homer, NeverQuest, and Grand Theft Scratchy. Though little else has yet been officially revealed, EA promises the Simpsons family will be granted "exciting, all-new powers to save the world from rising chaos" as they journey through Springfield and beyond, take on villains and fight through parodies of a number of popular games.Ĭonsumer site Gamespot was granted an early look at the game and reported that the plot involved the family realizing they are "trapped inside a videogame" and "envisioning new powers for themselves" including Homer transforming himself into a Katamari-like 'Homerball' by engorging on food power-ups and Bart taking on the role of a caped Bartman.Īccording to Gamespot, game characters will be cel-shaded but rendered as flat to appear even more cartoon-like, and the game will also apparently feature drop-in/drop-out two player action similar to Konami's original Simpsons arcade game. EA first acquired the license to create Simpsons titles in late 2005. The game is being created in partnership with Simpsons TV show writers for what EA is calling a "hilarious, sprawling, and mind-busting storyline," featuring the full cast of series voice actors. After teasing the game with a Grand Theft Auto-esque countdown site, Electronic Arts has officially announced that it will be releasing a Simpsons game this fall for the PS3, PS2, PSP, Xbox 360, Wii and DS.
