It's been 10 years since The Simpsons was last on cinema screens, and following its success many have touted the possibility of a sequel.

Last year, producer Al Jean suggested there could be another one on the way, though only provided it was going to be really good.

Well, Jean and fellow producer David Silverman have once again raised the idea of a second film based on The Simpsons, though suggested it was quite a way off yet.

"I'd love for there to be another one," Silverman told Entertainment Weekly. "We're still a ways away from it.

"We talk about this and that. We're thinking it over, but nothing's happening just yet….. It's still daunting because it really knocked the stuffing out of us to do the movie and the show at the same time."

Jean added that the movie had been discussed "just in the vaguest strokes, just in the possibility of it", adding: "I'd say [it's in] the very earliest stages."

It was previously revealed that a season 26 episode where Kang and Kodos take Homer and the family was touted as a movie idea, though was later used as an episode.

"I certainly am cautious about a couple things," Jean added. "I wouldn't want it to be risky in terms of budget, and I would not want it to be anything that we did purely for the money. I would want it to be a really great movie. I personally feel no need for another one unless it's great."

Meanwhile, at Comic-Con last week Jean revealed that the show turned down a guest appearance from Donald Trump many years ago.

Producer Bill Oakley later tweeted: "I continue to thank God that Donald Trump was never invited to do a voice on The Simpsons even during the brief period when he was popular."

Trump has been given various appearances since, though they are not exactly as the president would have liked. And we love The Simpsons even more for it.
