The New MUPPET Movie Now Has A Lead, And A Director (?)...

Merrick here...
Jason Segel will take the "human lead" roll in the new MUPPET movie, as well as produce the film (which he co-wrote with Nicholas Stoller). This per THR. As previously hinted, James Bobin will indeed direct the film. Bobbin was a co-creator/writer/director on HBO's FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS (HERE ) . Segel wrote and starred in FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL, which MUPPET co-writer Stoller directed.
