This says it is from March 1999, perhaps this film fell through or even developed into "A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie"

Dang. It does say 1999. I was really excited for a second. That script sounded really cool too. Oh well lets just keep hoping for other new muppet movies.

I remember hearing something about this

 

[King Jim]

Excellent!

 

[rexcrk]

That sounds somewhat similar to "It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie"

I'm stil waiting for "The Electric Mayhem: The Begining" where the story tells the history of the band. But I don't think it will ever happen since the Electric Mayhem is barely seen on screen these days.

You know what I would absolutely LOVE!?
A Muppets Movie Directed by Joss Whedon! OK, written by Joss would be divine too, but hey, I dont wanna be greedy!
I just think Joss would get the Muppets, and Ive often though "hmm, a good director would've made this better".
So, yeah.

I don't have a big opinion on directors, but I'd there are quite a few actors I'd like to see them work with. I think Cameron Diaz would work well with them. She's can project sweetness while being so off-kilter and adult. (If you don't believe me, see The Sweetest Thing).

I'd also love to see the Muppets do a super hero genre film. It's a popular genre, and it would give Muppet Labs a chance to shine.
