Great news that the film is moving forward. Still seems to be delaying in a couple areas, but all parties want this film to happen.
A couple things I wanna note:
And I will say again that we are striving to bring on any and every ORIGINAL PUPPETEERING CAST MEMBER that we can. Some may not work out, but that is what we are shooting for.
Every surviving and available puppeteer. I'm sure we'll see everyone. I mean, they clearly will all jump at the chance to reprise their old roles. Sure, the obvious recasts of puppeteers who are no longer with us, but this quashes that stupid rumor someone was spreading that it wouldn't be them.
I was also encouraged to hear that Henson is going to publish a series of Fraggle Rock Comic Books. I think it would be cool to tie some of those comics stories to the mythology of the feature, maybe even cook up a direct prequel or B-story. I'm just throwing that out there, Henson Publishing. Call me!
I love how he acknowledged that. I've seen a lot of movies get comic back story prequels... even the upcoming Astroboy.
