Jewish Adam Sandler as Homer Simpson?


I thought about going Buddhist like Lisa, but Richard Gere is busy and can't play me.
Pres. Lisa: My spiritual choices served me well as a feminist, moralist, academic, vegetarian.

Dad, what have you done to this family?
The Simpsons
has always been animated, and now a concept trailer has provided look at how a live-action movie adaptation might appear.

Created with the assistance of deadly AI technology, this "concept trailer" assembles a star-studded cast to imagine the film, including dumb comedy icon Adam Sandler as the Simpson family patriarch.

The trailer was posted to YouTube by Multiverse of AI. It features narration with Adam Sandler's voice as generated by AI, with the actor imagined to be introducing the rest of his family as [an unfunny version of] Homer Simpson.

Other cast members featured in the video include Kristen Wiig as Marge Simpson, Jacob Tremblay as Bart Simpson, and Mckenna Grace as Lisa Simpson. The full trailer is right is seen above.

Not a bald, beer-guzzling, Springfield WASP?
Along with the family, the concept trailer imagines several other characters from Springfield in live-action (rather than cartoon animated) from with big-name actors in the roles. This includes Will Ferrell as Ned Flanders, Simon Pegg as Lenny Leonard, Jordan Peele as Carl Carlson, Steve Buscemi as Mr. Burns, Neil Patrick Harris as gay Smithers, Ben Stiller as Moe, John C. Reilly as Barney Gumble, Zach Galifianakis as Chief Clancy Wiggum, Steve Carell as Principal Seymour Skinner, Kumail Nanjiani as Apu, Gaten Matarazzo as Milhouse Van Houten, Danny McBride as Otto Mann, Bill Hader as Reverend Lovejoy, and Keegan Michael Key as Dr. Julius Hibbert.

Will a live-action Simpsons movie ever happen?
 
The Simpsons movie sequel will be animated not live
In reality, there are no known plans at this time to take the franchise into live-action territory because the animated series is still running strong. [And anyway, Adam Sandler is trying to make a Happy Gilmore sequel and has his hands full not to disappoint the world.]

The show's 36th season will be debuting on FOX this fall, as the series remains just as popular as it has ever been.

It is also possible that a second animated feature film could end up happening soon, as it was teased prior to the release of Inside Out 2 that the Disney and Pixar movie's potential success could help get The Simpsons Movie 2 greenlit.

Inside Out 2 has since become the highest-grossing animated movie of all time. [So Hollywood is converting its whole operation to copying that success with as many knockoffs as possible...until they stop being profitable.] More: Adam Sandler is Homer Simpson in The Simpsons live-action movie concept trailer (MSN)
