Film stars line-up to appear in The Simpsons

With The Simpsons Movie hitting screens today, we couldn't think of a better time to preview some of the film-related stars who are clearing their throats for an appearance in the next season of Matt Groening's little-seen underground animation.

Topher Grace, Matt Dillon and Beverly D'Angelo have all been announced - but what's getting us most excited is the Jack Black episode, in which the tubby tantrum-expert opens a comic-book store in Springfield. The episode will see appearances from comic-book creative Gods Dan Clowes (Ghost World) and Alan Moore (The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen).
