They’re back! Oh, how I have fond memories of going to the theater with my parents to see a new muppets movie when I was a boy. AICN.com revealed the new teaser poster hitting theaters this weekend. From the looks of things it looks like the gang is back!
The new Muppets film will be the first theatrical release since 1999s “Muppets From Space”. This franchise used to have staying power since the release fo the first Muppets movie in 1979 with “The Muppet Movie”. This new film was penned by “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” scribe and star Jason Segel and co-written by “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” director Nicholas Stoller. Considering it has been 10 years since the last movie, this one should be one to get excited about. Lord, knows I am!
“The Muppets” synopsis:
On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Jason Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets’ former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate. With secret, signature, celebrity cameos, “The Muppets” hits the big screen Nov. 23, 2011.
