OK so over the courseof the lats few years, we've heard various reports of various film scrpits "the Muppets have looked into doing.
1) "Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made"-- Gonzo writes a movie and blows the budget on the opening credits and the film spirls downhill after that. based on an idea by Juhl/Henson/Oz.
2) "Muppet Haunted Hotel"-- After being turned into spirits on Halloween, the Muppets must learn to use their new ghostly abilities to find a way back to the real world.
3) "The Muppet Movie II" aka "The Next Muppet Movie"-- The beloved Muppets have basically been broken up by an evil Hollywood producerand Kermit has to get them all back together and remind them what the spirit of the Muppets is. Written by Bryan Lynch
4) "Muppet in Time"--No info as of yet, but I would imagien it has soemhitng to with time travel and Muppets.
So my quesiton is which one do you want to see get made and what kind of stuff would you like to see done in it?
Me pesonally, I'm really excited about the idea of "the Next Muppet Movie". I read a review of the script overr at AICN which spoke highly of it's feel and content and mentioned names like floyd, Lew, Fozzie, Zoot and Rizzo in the context of prominent roles. As well as places for the Clifford, Pepe, bobo, etc. If made, I'd like ot see frank handle the directign duties as he is said he would like ot direct the next film and use it as a springboard to 'pass the torch to newer puppeteers' which I thnk this storyline wuold also accomplish. Ithink it would let the Muppeteers come full circle and allow those ready to retire the chance for one last huzzah both for them and their fans. What do the rest of you think?/
BTW: for thsoe who wan to see the review of this script, here's the link...
