Walt Disney Studios are whetting our appetites with some new Muppets awesomeness. The studios released this teaser and promotional image for the upcoming Muppets movie, which How I Met Your Mother star, Jason Segel co-wrote and is also the star.
What I love most about this image is the action and emotion that’s going on—all at once. (They’re Muppets, I know.) The teaser image is sort of Da Vinci-like with its storytelling, yet so indicative of the creativity and eclecticism of the Jim Henson Studios. The guy holding the iPhone is my favorite.
The working title of the new Muppets movie is called, “The Greatest Muppet Movie of All Time.” The way Segal and co-writer, Nick Stoller, made us laugh in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and with the new Muppets’ movie’s interesting storyline, plus all of the rumored cameos, will this new Muppets Movie live up to its title?
Here’s a cool quote from Stoller that first appeared in an interview elsewhere:
The Muppets are coming to a theater near you, but unfortunately, we’ll have to wait another year.. The beloved Muppets are set to release this new film during the 2011 holiday season.
