You’ve heard it before HERE that Jason Segel (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) has always wanted to do a MUPPETS Movie. He pitched the idea in and Disney liked it. So the question ever since has been: what is it that Jason Segel has in mind for the storyline?
This guy is known for his association with Judd Apatow, meaning the movies have been raunchy comedy with F-bombs and pot jokes, which are funny I admit, but I’d hate to see Kermit and his friends start smoking joints and laughing about who got laid.
But now, CHUD seems to hear bits and pieces about what Segel’s going to do with the some of the most beloved characters of all time.
According to the website, THE MUPPETS will go back to basic.
None of those bullcrap “The Muppets in space” or “go underwater” anymore.
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
That’s a relief. If this is true, then I’m glad THE MUPPETS will be in good hands. Anybody who came up with this idea for the plot deserves a chance.
Questions:
What do you think about the idea for the story?
What would be your suggestion?
