Hmmm, looks like fun, actually. Those two actors seem excited to be in a movie like this too.
Jason Segel wrote the flick and apparently is a huge fan of the franchise. So hopefully he doesn’t fuck it up.
From an Interview i found at: http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Jason_Segel
“To me, Kermit was the original Tom Hanks — the Everyman,” says Jason Segel, so awesome (and so full-frontal) in this spring’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall. “He really shaped what I wanted to be as an actor.” Man, we’re feeling you — and we think it’s brilliant that the Jim Henson Company tapped Segel to revive Muppet mania. “We are trying to bring the franchise back to the perfect tone they had established in the early Eighties,” Segel tells us. “No more Muppets Underwater…. This movie is about the Muppets putting on a show to help each other out. Simple and heartfelt… I also expect really cool cameos.” How are his actors responding? “Both Animal and Gonzo have been very easy… It’s Camilla the Chicken who is a royal pain in the rump.” 2
