Have you seen the first teaser trailer for the seventh Muppet movie entitled, appropriately enough, The Muppets!?! It’s hard to believe this is the first live action Muppet movie in 12 years…they used to release a new one every couple of years it seemed like. The Muppets is a comedy written by Jason Segel (of How I Met Your Mother) and Nicholas Stoller, and directed by James Bobin (Forgetting Sarah Marshall). Staring Segel, Amy Adams, Chris Cooper and more Muppets than you can shake a stick at, you know this is going to be one hell of a movie (well, at least I hope it is).
The Muppets franchise is in desperate need of a reboot, and Disney has entrusted Jason Segel to do it. Seems like an interesting choice, but I've got faith in him. With the team behind Forgetting Sarah Marshall making the film it should appeal to both children and adults. I really got a kick out of the film’s first teaser trailer, which is a total swerve job (I could explain but it might be easier to just watch the trailer). The Blot's got no idea what the film is about, but I’m excited to find out after seeing this!
The Muppets is scheduled to premiere in theaters on November 23, 2011. Should make for a wokka wokka wokka Thanksgiving!
