Trey Parker and Matt Stone Start Important Studios

January 15th, 2013

Trey Parker and Matt Stone are starting their own production studio:

The new company is to be called Important Studios and hopes to be just that. With an estimated value of $300 million built on revenue from “South Park,” now in its 16th season on Comedy Central, and the Broadway megahit “The Book of Mormon,” the studio will have the power and money to approve television, movie and theater projects, including a big-screen version of “The Book of Mormon.”

This is the most exciting news I’ve heard in a while. These guys have been an inspiration to me for years. I can’t wait to see what they do.
