The voice actors and
powers-that-be are in contract talks for like the 30th time over the
past 10 years probably because they don't think they're getting enough
royalties from bart simpson meat thermometers or something who knows
Since I didn't have to be sitting in
negotiation
this afternoon, I
drove over to the Starz Media/Film Roman facility, where I discovered
(via the employees) that Fox and the six voice actors on The Simpsons
are deep in talks for a renewal of contracts. And that all parties,
according to the artists, have imposed a news blackout.
Ten years ago, Fox was on the brink of replacing
all the actors. If
contracts aren't renewed this time, maybe they'll just get Seth
McFarlane to do all the voices.
