What Kind Of Movie Will The New Muppet Project Be??

Merrick here...


Devin over at CHUD has a bit of news about what kind of Muppet movie we can expect from the guys who brought us the decidedly un-Muppety FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL.

Apparently their Muppet film is going to be incredibly old fashioned, with the familiar Muppet characters putting on a show to save an old theater (the theater from The Muppet Show?). The danger? An evil character wants to tear the place down to get at the oil underneath. It's sort of current!

...says THIS ARTICLE at CHUD.

Jump to the article for a few more details.
