    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    I was just concerned the cameos would be ABC/Disney stars like the cast of Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, High School Musical, Raven Simone or Hannah Montana. I'm glad they're shooting outside of that with people like Jolie and Grodin.

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    :search: The catch phrase "stunt casting" was made trendy when Neil Patrick Harris employed it to discourage sticking once popular media creation Britney Spears (not really an actor) on his and Segel's CBS show "How I Met Your Mother" for sweeps ratings. To associate that sort of terminology...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    :flirt:I'm excited and Jolie's cameo would definitely fall in line with [not just the Muppet Show, but] The Muppet Movie's line-up of stars. Some were current others were not. She's a great movie star and not a bad actress in the least. I think fans should be trilled! I'd like to see the film...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    I'm certain Disney will make the picture with Segel. The real question is the amount of tinkering they'll do and whether they'll try to enforce a sort of Disney formula? I'm sure they'll try to push some endorsements in there, but the Muppets can handle a little bit of the "Sell! Sell! Sell!" I...

    Rumor: Reporter Kermit Replica in 2009

    :) I still think this is where the figurines come in. I'd love to see a reporter Kermit figurine that could be paired up with the photographer Gonzo figurine (we never got from Palisades). Both would likely be big sellers as long as they looked good. Their current Mayhem (with the exception of...

    What movie are you planning on, going to see?

    The word is that the Incredible Hulk is good as is Kung Fu Panda. I'll be catching those. Two hours and thirty minutes of Sex and the City in the theater might prove to be too much for even my sensibilities. I'll likely wait for the DVD. The blockbusters I am really looking forward to...

    Abby in Wonderland poofs onto DVD September 30

    The Count has sold me on laying down cash for the DVD! :batty: :wisdom: I wonder where Big Bird is? I hope he's in it somewhere and it's some sort of surprise. The casting mostly makes Muppetsense. Ernie and Bert make for better Tweedles than the Two Headed Monster because they likely have...

    Rumor: Reporter Kermit Replica in 2009

    I can understand an exclusive Kermit reissue in reporter garb to invigorate the line for people who didn't catch on initially, but to reissue Animal or the rest would upset those who purchased the first one under the belief that he was limited edition. Ultimately that would weaken the line...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    I miss Beauregard. My wish list of rare or non-lead inclusions: Uncle Deadly, Beauregard, Pops, Nigel, Thog, Mildred, George, Bobo, Seymour, Johnny, Sal, Clueless and even Clifford. My list of ones that should stay gone: Mr Poodle Pants! I guess that's it. Just couldn't stand that guy.

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    Even Clifford deserves to work the craft service table at the Muppet Theater. :o Seriously, I hope effort is made to include everyone they can!

    Your Thoughts: The Star Wars Muppet Figures

    I expect Ebayers to hike up the price some. As long as they are under $30 shipping included I wouldn't feel taken. It's kind of like a specialty shop premium. But I'll wait and see. I have to have these, but I don't have to have these now. ;)

    Kermit & Fozzie Amazon Interview Exclusive

    :) I first read that as "Kermits eat the innocence of children!" :eek: I do like the answer about Miss Piggy "beating" Kermit because he's so small. It was a funny and different answer. :mad:

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    Oooh! There could be Pigs in Space! There will be songs (hopefully with Paul Williams)! Great cameos (hopefully Grodin will agree)! Had a bad morning. This totally makes up for it! :) Thanks for posting the link uppitymuppity! :cool:

    Kermit & Fozzie Amazon Interview Exclusive

    :) Here's the page with the clip (scroll down). :o Kermit and Fozzie answer kids' questions and are in top form. Kermit also name-drops Scooter in a list of Muppets he likes to work with! ;) Kermit covers his job, age, why Piggy "beats him up" and his diet. Fozzie covers comedy, his "best...

    2008 Menu Descriptions

    :coy: Muppet Central Father’s Day Menu :smirk: Fade in on a blue sky daylight watercolor landscape of the Gorgs’ garden. A purple and white Muppet Central rises to the center beneath a golden banner reading “Happy Father’s Day” that drops down. The logo is framed by Pa Gorg on the left and...

    Richard Amsel & Muppet Movie Art

    Thanks. I got ya. By Sam would have been my second choice. I zeroed/cut out the background bit by bit to make it transparent. I have a quick knack with Photoshop. The main trick I've learned is that shortcuts and many of the extra tools take longer and require corrections down the line...

    Fozzie Muppet Replica delayed

    Today's top spots appear to be in this order: Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie, Pepe, Animal, Rizzo (with Statler, Waldorf, Swedish Chef, Beaker, Bunsen and Sam in the background). The classic structure I miss is: Kermit, Fozzie, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Scooter, Rowlf, Animal (with the Mayhem...

    CGI vs Puppetry

    In this fast paced world of disposable film making it is no wonder that CG is so popular. An image or character can easily be swapped for another with computer graphics technology, but that's not necessarily a good thing. When looking back at the visuals in high-concept pieces such as the...

    Richard Amsel & Muppet Movie Art

    Thanks! I usually have a Muppet hanging somewhere off my back pack and walk kinda bouncy like a Muppet too. I'm fairly easy to pick out in a crowd of normal people. :eek: I thought about moving that Gonzo around and decided to place him where he didn't require much alteration or sacrifice the...

    Muppets From Space Movie Display?

    Does anybody remember the cardboard Muppets From Space movie display? I have never been able to find images of it since the film's brief promotion and run nearly a decade ago. As I remember it contained a dimensional version of the cast poster we all know of the Muppets (Kermit, Miss Piggy...
