Jason Segel To Write, Produce, And Now STAR In Muppet Movie
Filed under: Film Flickers
We're not surprised! He's been helping develop this project for a while!
Jason Segel is set to play the human lead in the new Muppets movie.
And we think he's just the right fit.
The How I Met Your Mother actor has already been co-writing the script with Nicholas Stoller, and will share producing credits with David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman!
James Bobin will direct the film, which is shooting for a 2012 release date!
This just keeps getting better and better!!
What do U think?? Are U excited for new Muppets movie??

Yes!!! We NEVER missed the Muppets when I was a kid. I was a senior in high school on my way to school when I heard on the radio Jim Henson had passed I cried my friends thought I was nuts!! I just couldn't imagine no more Muppets!!!!
Been a big fan since "Freaks & Geeks" I'll watch anything with Jason in it!
Hell YES. Love Jason also.

totally excited about a new muppet movie, and I love jason segel, but not sure how I feel about him being the human lead. I guess it depends on the storyline.
