The Muppets Eye Movie Stardom Again

The world’s favorite puppets, THE MUPPETS, are making a return to the big screen.

The colorful characters, who were created by puppeteer Jim Henson’s workshop, made their debut on U.S. TV show Sesame Street in 1969. They have starred in seven movies to date, the most recent being 1999’s Muppets From Space.

Now actor/writer Jason Segal and director/writer Nick Stoller are penning a screenplay for a new film to be released by Disney.

Stoller is set to direct the currently-untitled project.
