The Muppets are the greatest thing to have happened to me as a child. I loved the Muppet Show and Muppet Babies as a kid. Not to mention the Muppet films were always fun and made me laugh. Every year at Christmas I watch the Muppet Christmas Carol. They are true impact on my development as a child. Now at 23 years of age I have always wondered when the next Muppet film would happen now Variety gave me the answer I had been looking for.

Variety is reporting that Jason Segel and Nick Stoller (both from Forgetting Sarah Marshall) have just signed on to bring the fuzzy and adorable gang back to the big screen.

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 exec Kristin Burr. Segel got a deal in the room and enlisted Stoller to co-write and direct the project.
