New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

I think all we can do is take it one day at a time. I mean Disney is gonna release it when they want to regardless of what we all think. Honestly and I'm not saying this to be sarcastic maybe you could write to Disney and give them your feedback.

Let's face it, the Muppets are gonna have some sort of competition on the market. That's the way it goes, but 2013 presents lots of opportunities all year long. Who knows where they'll put it. Here are there options so far...

2013 Spots for Disney to Release the Muppet Film:

January 4th (a week after The Great Gatsby, Django Unchained, Parental Guidance, and Playing the Field, against Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D)
January 11th (against Scary Movie 5)

So far, I vote July 26th!

No it doesn't - that's just a way for people to refer to the next movie until it has a "real" name.

Great Muppet Caper was referred by Henson as "Muppet Movie II" until it had its actual name.

I just know I'm excited!!!! Bring on the next movie!!!!

Thank you. And I sincerely mean that. Lol!

I personally wouldn't mind a July release that just means an awesome birthday gift to me!

I just think that there are plenty of prime release opportunities for summer and winter releases. Usually I wouldn't promote spring or fall but there are plenty of those spots too and considering that Fox is sticking a powerhouse like Die Hard5 in February it seems like anything goes. I've seen bad films with bad spots flourish and I've seen good films with prime spots die on the vine. Nobody can predict a movie's outcome. Disney wants the Muppets to do well, despite the departure of Ross, so I don't think having a little faith in them at this point is too much to ask.

Well we kind of have to cause regardless of what we think their gonna release it when they want anyways. I mean I had concerns if they were rushing it but all that has flown out the window. I just know I am excited and thrilled it's going forward and not just sitting in a room collecting dust.

Here is a few more photos from Cinemacon. If Phillip wants to move them to another thread or what not he can I'm just putting the link here since it does have to do with them confirming the new movie.

I don't think the rush job is enough to worry in itself. Rush jobs don't automatically have to equal a problem. When it comes down to it, it's effort and luck. We'll just have to wait and see.

Just for the sake of saying it...

This is what Turbo is

That sounds like the makings of their worst movie ever, frankly. It seems they're releasing 3 movies that year, and if ever there's a rush job on a script it's "Snail wants to be an Indycar/plastic believe in yourself moral."

Even Sharktale sounds great by comparison.

What. On. Earth.

Lucky for us we'll get to have all sorts of Snail as a car merchandise from then on

Looks like the DreamWorks of 2004-2007 is back... And Ryan Reynolds is in it?! Haven't they kicked that derp out of Hollywood yet?

That said, yes, I say July 26. Disney can move Phineas and Ferb but don't forget The Wolverine (another attempt that the X-Men character's solo movie) also comes out that day. We'll just have to wait and see.

If you're still miffed about the Green Lantern movie... well, Read this article... go down to number 3

It was almost that.

The one we got deserves an Oscar for not being that.

Plus, we'd hate Muppet movie guest star Jack Black. We wouldn't want that.

The thing about Wolverine is that, while Disney controls the character, Fox is still ruining the X-Men franchise... and above all, it's a completely different demographic. At least... for the most part. The Muppets does appeal to kids and older fans... but I'm sure it's more intended for families that wouldn't see Wolverine because of their youngest not being able to sit through it.

I don't see anything new that Nick hasn't already said.

You know, the more i look at that "new logo" for the next Muppet film, i'm more convinced the name of the next movie won't be "The Muppets 2"

...it will be "The Muppets: Bunny Ears"

"Hi, I'm a bunny!"

Okay back on topic...I wonder how many pages of the script they're up to and I wonder how many ideas have been thrown in and out? They could either be past 13 pages or back to nothing. Lol!

Hi-ho, Silver! Away!

...sorry. You can hurt me now.
