The duo behind the upcoming comedy,"Forgetting Sarah Marshall", Jason Segel and director Nick Stoller are teaming again to steer the next Muppet movie reports Variety.A scene in"Marshall" features Segel's character prepping a "Dracula" inspired musical using puppets.
Those puppets were custom-made by the Jim Henson Company, and the experience paved the way for Segel to pitch his idea for a Moppets movie when he attended a general meeting with executive Kristin Burr.
Segel and Stoller will pen the new Muppet script and Stoller will direct.
As a Muppet fan from my childhood days, I'm thrilled the colorful troupe is making a comeback on the big screen, and I'm curious to see what develops out of this partnership...
