In Development: Henson's Fraggle Rock Movie

[Beauregard]

Who will play Gobo if Jerry Nelson decides to retire?(hopefully this never happens ).

This keeps coming up...we don't know, we won't know. Hopefully Jerry will play Gobo. Other than that, we don't know...Maybe Robin could play Gobo?

Wait...um?

The treatment is being written by author Ahmet Zappa (The Monstrous Memoirs of a Mighty McFearless) who will also executive produce the project with Brian Henson and Jason Lust. Lisa Henson will produce. its as seen on http://www.hitnewsonline.com/releases/detail/fr_licensing_show_2007/

*hype hype hype*

Any more news? I'm still excited and holding out for this movie. It's a show that most adults can remember watching, and loving, as children and it will also be one of the first big-release, childrens Puppet movies in a long while (I think?). How will it compete with CGI? We'll have to wait and see.

I guess they're still looking for a distribution deal and can't say much more till then. They need to know if they've got a theatrical budget or not, and whether they are ok with all puppets yadda yadda. It'd be good if they got a big studio attached but even if they just end up with something on the level of "Five Children" it should be ok. I'm not expecting massive things, but i'm expecting something. I would think that all the flop CGI kids movies are making it hard for anyone in that genre right now.

any new news?

- You cannot leave the magic...

I'm guessing that if there was more news, we'd have heard it here first, so I'm just posting to remind us, and anyone who might be watching, that we're still here, still waiting, and still excited to see the Fraggles return to the magic, and adjust to the big screen.

And I just realized that we don't have a Mokey smilie...which is so sad!

- We'll be back some tomorrow...

No, I didn't assume. Someone else on MC (I can't remember who, but their article included a pic of Scooter wearing a T shirt that says "My uncle owns the theatre") posted a tribute to Richard Hunt and maybe I misunderstood them, but it sounded like this person was attributing Scooter's disappearance to Richard Hunt's illness. Thats where I got my info from, this person's Richard Hunt tribute.

Strange... I always thought Scooter was retired (sorta) cuz they couldn;t find a good continuer for him.

Anyway, I said it before and I'll say it again. I think that David Rudman would do a good job. he won't quite sound the same, but he's continued most of Richard's roles. And even when Richard was around her performed Sweetums in the episode of the Cosby show.

But I really want to hear if any news has popped up reguarding the film. I'm so anxious about it.

Been gone for a while. I guess I was just hopeful that there might be something new.
