JHC will produce "Puss 'n Boots"

[OverUnderAround]

I spotted this today on Variety.com. It was dated May 2, 2004.

"The Jim Henson Co. will produce "Puss 'n Boots," a $35 million live-action movie with a leading role for a CGI-animated cat. This centuries-old tale of a miller's son, a beautiful princess and a mischievous feline will be produced in the U.K. by Michael Gruskoff, Lisa Henson and Kristine Belson."

What do you think gave them inspiration? Hmmmm?

 

[OverUnderAround]

Don't have a clue what inspired them. However It will be curious to
see if it gets made. Shrek's 2's CGI version of Puss n' Boots was done great
by Antonio Banderas. And it was well received by all.

Now the Henson Company will have to top that CGI Puss n' Boots
with their own version. A difficult task.

This project has been in the works for awhile...it was planned before Shrek 2 was finished if I'm not mistaken. I loved Antonio Banderas in Shrek 2 - I think he'll be hard to top.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

oh yay. i'm so overjoyed by this project. i wonder who the brilliant genius at jhc was that thought up this 'un. probably the same ones who decided to sell off the muppets.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
(Yes it's all sarcasm.)

Oh boy, let's all go follow the crowd...again.

Why can't they do something original...MFS (Follow the crowd)...KSY (Follow teh prequels)...oh boy, and fiddle sticks.

I think DreamWorks is making a Puss n' Boots movie.

 

[Beauregard]

Really? With Puss from Shrek, or a different Puss?

 

[Muppetsdownunder]

Both these puss in boots movies sound good. They need more movies based on older stories, theres so many rubbish movies coming out lately.

The actual Puss N' Boots from Shrek.
