The Simpsons showrunner and The Simpsons: Hit & Run writer Matt Selman reckons we should “never say never” to a possible remake or revival.
Celebrating the show’s 800th(!!) episode with People, Selman reminded fans that “nothing is set in stone”, not least because he and The Simpsons team know “people love it”.
“Nothing is set in stone. But my quote about Hit & Run would be, ‘Never say never,'” Selman said (thanks, IGN). “Because we know people love it. We know they want it, so that’s good. If we know people want it, never say never.
“Hit & Run is so interesting. I’m a thousand years old, and when I was in my mid to late 20s, I helped write Hit & Run. I had no idea it would become a cult game, a cult success. Of all the games, the thousands of Simpsons games… that one…”
Selman’s comments come as the teams behind the Prototype games, The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, and The Simpsons: Hit & Run are back under a new name: New Radical Games.
A blend of “Radical Entertainment plus Hothead Games,” the studio’s new website teases “we know how to capture the essence of world-class intellectual properties, and deliver licensed games that delight fans everywhere”.
