[News] Muppets... again

[Bowielee]

So, I'm surprised I haven't seen anything about this yet. Apparently a new Muppet movie is shooting as we speak.

I'm a bit leary as Jason Segel isn't attached to the project from what I can see.

Jason Segel didn't -make- the muppets movie for me, so I'd be fine with that.

He did co-write it, though.

 

[Hailey Knight]

Haven't heard about it since it was greenlit, at which point it didn't even have a title, but I'm glad they're already shooting.

 

[ThatNickGuy]

I'll get excited when there's a trailer. Hopefully, a mock trailer.

 

[Sparhawk]

I hadn't brought it up, since all we had was a title and that they were shooting in London. I'm not worried about it though, with the current people that Disney has in charge of their movie stuff. If they start having wholesale changes in management (not the normal movement between jobs like they had a month or so ago) and really mess stuff up.

I like the plot synopsis as told by Kermit:

The idea of this film is that our gang is on this global tour, and we’re selling out these grand theaters all over Europe—in Berlin, Madrid, London—but we sort of get into a little bit of trouble when we run across my doppleganger. He’s the world’s number one criminal, Constantine, and he happens to look an awful lot like me. I won’t tell you any more than that, but let’s just say mayhem ensues.

 

[AshburnerX]

It sounds like a parody of one of the original Muppet movie sequels. This could be good or bad.

I was sold when I read Kermit had an evil doppelganger named Constantine.

Does he have a mustache or goatee? I'll bet he does.

I hope. So much.

There is a little pencil-thin mustache on the wanted poster.

 

[Sparhawk]

Can you post a link to the image you used? The ones I've been seeing don't have enough detail, but I notice that there are at least three posters around the underground, and at least one newspaper with the wanted poster.

I just used the image you linked to and zoomed it in to the area in question, it's not super clear, but clear enough to tell that a mustache is there.

Also, here's what google found when I asked for "kermit wanted poster":

A test shot for the Gremlins remake?

At least they're going with practical effects and not CGI. Puppetry all the way!

 

[Yoshimickster]

He should also have a voice completely different than Kermit, that would be funny.

 

[HCGLNS]

Ricky Gervais updates us constantly on it's progress via twitter. It will be good, Gabby Hayes good!

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Gabby Hays!

Who?

 

[HCGLNS]

For you ignorance of Simpson references, I sentence you to 5 weeks with Pat Sajak.

 

[Yoshimickster]

MY EYES ZE GOGGLES DO NOTHING! Classic.

CALLED I...

Oh, he has a mole?

Carry on.

CALLE...well fuck.

Statler: Why is it called Most Wanted?
Waldorf: It's the movie most wanted to avoid!

DOH-ho ho ho ho ho ho!

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Alternate trailer!

 

[Cheesy1]

Not about the movie, but still Muppet related.

 

[PatrThom]

Terry Crews has no shame.

None.

[Tress]

...and god bless him for it.

Can I just mention how fucking stupid it is that that video has to be titled 'Big Game Ad' because the NFL copyrighted Super Bowl and won't let anyone use it without paying them?

But since it's only copyrighted in the USA, we still get info about "refused Superbowl Ads" (with Scarlett Johansson). It's odd.

It's no March Madness(tm).

Talk to someone whose job involves making commercials, for example, for all the local bars with big screen TVs that want you and your friends to spend sunday THERE buying beer and hot wings while you watch the BIG GAME, and having to correct salespeople and clients constantly that no we're not allowed to use the other phrase. Every year. Because surely you know someone like that.

This is also why The Colbert Report has been running their "Superb Owl" graphic all week while they talk to NFL players.

MUPPETS ARE ON TONIGHT GUYS! *Kermit flail*
