New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

Usher? That wasn't on my list. But, hey! Whatever makes people happy.

Hey, at least he's higher profile than most of the Disney starlet stuff they've done on the Disney Channel!

Anything beats that.

Anyway, I really don't care at the moment that he's having a cameo, 'cause, truth is, in the last movie there were names I didn't hear of/didn't care for, and they all did a pretty good job. I'm curious to see how his is.

As long as they don't get a Justin Bieber cameo, I'm good.

Four things:

1. Where's Zoot? The other four Electric Mayhem members are present. Oh, and I don't see Bunsen or Beaker, either. Sad CJD.
2. But at least the Swedish Chef, Rowlf, and Dr. Teeth are together in the same shot! Floyd and Janice look great, too. Happy CJD.
3. I can't wait to see pictures of Annie Sue & Louise Gold. Excited CJD.
4. Where can I get an awesome Muppet Show poster like that? Incredibly eager CJD.

One of the things I'm really looking forward to is this summer.
Becuase that's most probably when the first teaser poster is going to be released! I'm going to make sure I get that poster! I'm in need of some more Muppet posters.

Zoot not being in the shot is weird, but I'd doubt he's not in the scene completely. But it's great to see the EM have a larger presence in the film so far. Looks like they might have a MTM like presence in this film. As much as I'd love to see a constant barrage of almost every character imaginable, I really hope they have a more core member focus in this film than the last one.

Had Universal produced the movie, they'd have had nothing but NBC celebrities and forced references to NBC programs. They're freaking terrible at it. I especially love how ABC got the rights to show the movie on television, and they had to digitally remove the NBC logo from the Jumbotron from Time Square. Actually improved the movie without the gratuitous vertical integration.

I assume you're referring to It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, but has Universal been including NBC celebrities and references in it's other recent movies?

And what movie are you referring to regarding ABC removing the NBC logo from a Jumbotron? At first I thought you were referring to It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, but the NBC logo isn't there (it's on Kermit's foot).

I'm liking these recent group photos. First time I saw one of them, I thought I saw Johnny Fiama in the crowd, blocked by human actors, but as I look more he's clearly not there. And it's great to see a more close-up version of that photo, though I'm still having trouble making out who all's in the poster.

Ooh. Thanks. I mistook Pepe's jacket for Sam, Walter for Marvin Suggs and Rowlf just kind of blended in. So it's:

1. Animal
2. Crazy Harry
3. Gonzo
4. Pepe
5. Dr. Teeth
6. Waldorf
7. Statler
8. Floyd
9. Janice
10. Zoot
11. Robin
12. Fozzie
13. Swedish Chef
14. Miss Piggy
15. Rowlf
16. Walter
17. Kermit
18. Beaker
19. Bunsen
20. Lew
21. Scooter

Sweetums, Rizzo, Sam and Uncle Deadly appear to be missing. I'm beginning to wonder if Rizzo's absence in things might be Steve's decision. I know he's busy with Kermit, but he's got a lot of pull. Could the gravely voice be too taxing for regular Rizzo appearances?
