Muppet Movie News!

Forgetting Sarah Marshall star/writer Jason Segel has been lined up to pen Disney's upcoming Muppet movie.

And, in a new interview, Segal revealed a few interesting tidbits about the Muppet movie script.

The movie is going to do things '80's' style - says Segal, "We are trying to bring it back to the early '80s movies where it's not Muppets in the Sahara or Muppets Underwater. It's the Muppets getting back together to put on a show, to save the studio.”

He also confirmed that Sam the Eagle is in the movie, as are Statler and Waldorf.

There's no word about a possible release date in the interview.

Will you guys see the Muppet movie?

They have to make it in 3-D!

Hell yes. The original movie is one of my all time favorites. It is an awesome Christ story, complet with apostles and a frog giving himself a pep talk in the desert. I hope they really do throw it back to the beginning.

LizzieHead says – reply to this

55

Dang he really really like muppets doesnt he? In Forgetting Sarah Marshall there is a scene where he is playing the theme to the muppet show on the piano, and of course how he is working on his puppet version of Dracula. Strange obsession.

I dont know about the 3D, they already have the Muppet 4D show @ Disney world which mixes live effects with a 3D movie, which is prob already better than a 3D movie alone would be.

kermit the frog fuckin scares me. His eyes are weird looking with that shape in them and his figers are really long and thin his voice is also fucked up. He doesn't even really look like a frog. I used to have nightmares about Kermit coming into my room at night saying "Hi ho, kermit the frog here." Creepy

Beyonce SHINES At Revel! WERKS Single Ladies & Halo! Watch!!

Sparkle it up, gurl!! Let us see that seXXy shine!!

Still thrilled from Beyonce's intimate behind-the-scenes video, we're ready to DANCE after watching this Single Ladies performance!!

The crowd was WILD for Bey when she made her first stage debut since giving birth to beautiful Blue Ivy. And from the looks of this performance, she gave 'em their money's worth and then some!
