Has anyone ever considered making a movie or something about Jim's life?

I think a movie about Jim, his youth and college years, how he came to develop the Muppets, saw his creations grow into a large company, then his untimely and unfortunate death followed by his son and family taking over to help continue Jim's life's work would make a wonderful movie.

Any thoughts on this, or possibly who might play the various people in a program like this?

The only reason I am asking is because I woke up with the thought in my head, like I had been dreaming about it...

I know a few people (just fans) have talked about this and I think it is a great idea - provided it's not some cheap "movie of the week" thing. I supposed it's really up to the Henson family and the JHC since it really wouldn't be feasible to do it without the Muppets seen in some form and you'd need permission to do that.
