New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

I think you're on the wrong thread... (Also, there was a Whitmire-Kermit-only "Rainbow Connection" posted on iTunes when the soundtrack for The Muppets was released back in November...)

ok?

So as most of you know Kermit is in London at the moment along with Pepe promoting the Blu-ray/DVD release of the The Muppets movie. Here is an interview with them. And the interviewer asks about the new movie. And Kermit hints that their hoping to start filming early next year. Hey it's not much news but it's something!

#!

Early next year? Do you think the release is still going to be in the summer?

Well the keyword is "HOPING." Doesn't mean they will start filming early next year. But pshh like I said some news is better then no news. Which mean James and Nick must be past page 13.

Well, the actual time that it takes to FILM a film is not that long these days. So, I guess it will depend on the special effects and on the promotions. Maybe they'll go with a Thanksgiving release again.

That's what I'm thinking as well. I doubt it'll be a summer release even though that's what Disney was aiming for.

I hope they have a few more celebrities making cameos in this. If they do a Bieber cameo, though,........the very thought makes me angry.

I personally could do without any cameos just give me all Muppets. But that's part of the appeal too is celebrity cameos. :/

It wouldn't be a Muppet movie without celebrity cameos.

True dat. Even Christmas Carol and Treasure Island had some cameos. Also, give me more Pepe and Muppets from MT.

I just said that's part of The Muppets is the cameos. Just saying in my personal opinon when I watch a Muppet movie I'm watching The Muppets more then the celebrities. But like someone said I hope they choose classy celebrities for the new movie not teeny boppers.

I'm sure we will see some celebrities that we can respect here but it is Disney here, we will have to have some of their tween stars here for marketing. (Though, now that I get it: the convenience of Whoopi Goldberg, Selena Gomez and Rico Rodriguez all coming in at the same time to the theater is a very hilarious and very sly "take that" to the Mouse on Segel and Stoller's behalf on that particular subject matter)

I'd love to see Steve Martin make another cameo! By the way sorry if I came off as rude in my previous statement I didn't mean to come off blunt.

I would just love if Steve Martin was in every Muppet movie.

I think Jimmy Fallon would be a good one as well plus he's also a Muppet fan from what I understand.

Apart from having one of the best cameos of all time (in TMM) and one of the best TMS episodes of all time IMHO, Steve Martin also has one of the best Muppet-related quotes of all time (as reprinted in The Saturday Evening Post, December 1980):

"Some days you just don't want to talk to people anymore. You just want to talk to the Muppets."

OKAY that's it Steve needs to be in the next movie!!! You reading this DISNEY?!!! And I mean Steve Martin not the other Steve we already know he's pretty much gonna be in it. LOL!

Other Steve? Oh, yes, Mr. Whitmire. Stupid me!

Only thing I can tell you is is I've been keeping up with the interviews they did so far in London while promoting the DVD and Kermit has bascially said the same thing they know their set to do a new movie and hoping they'll start shooting either early next year or sometime next year. They were asked if they knew anything about the plot and they said no. So either they know more then their allowed to tell or they really just don't know. I have a feeling they just don't know because it is still really, really, really, early. Of course Pepe joked that he was writing and directing the new movie. Lol!
