"The Simpsons" is about to get bigger - with a film being planned on the cult TV cartoon character Homer Simpson and his family.

The show's main voice actors have all signed up for the project. The creator of the series, Matt Groening, is thrilled with the film script, reports entertainment portal IMDB.

"The Simpsons" spokeswoman Antonia Kaughman says, "Now we're going to get the best of both worlds, the movie as well as the show. Finally we worked out the movie team or the team of writers who will be working on the script."
