“Forgetting Sarah Marshall” actor/screenwriter Jason Segel and helmer Nick Stoller are teaming again to create the next Muppet movie for Disney Pictures reports Variety.
In “Sarah Marshall” Segel’s character writes a “Dracula” musical performed by puppets.
Those cloth creatures were custom-made by the Henson puppeteers, and the experience emboldened Segel to pitch his concept for a Muppets movie when he was invited in for a general meeting with executive Kristin Burr.
Segel and Stoller will write the script and Stoller will direct.
