From Atlanta's WAGA-TV news:

During the trailers for Ice Age - The Meltdown, keep an eye out for a first glimpse of the new Simpsons movie. [...] The live-action film will feature look-alike actors to play the members of everyone's favorite dysfunctional family.

I can't give you a link to the TV station because I caught the story on TV and *ahem* transcribed it. But still... interesting stuff, if it comes to pass. Which, according to the BBC, it will. Yet another reason to go see Ice Age 2.

Could these guys be the ones we're talking about?

Unfortunately (or fortunately, as it may turn out), the TV news story was worded wrong. The film will be a cartoon, but the promo is live-action. Someone who saw Ice Age 2 really needs to comment on this post.
