How I Met Your Muppet

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...
