Muppets sequel gets official title, plot details and pics

Muppets sequel gets official title, plot details and pics photo



It looks like The Muppets' next globe trotting adventure finally has an official title. Brace yourselves. It's The Muppets...Again! Yeah, I didn't make that up, though I gladly would have if Disney paid me instead of whoever came up with that little bit of nonsense. Well, what's important is that we're getting more of The Muppets, and that's all anyone can ask for. 

Some more details have been given in regards to the plot, and it looks like the gang get's wrapped up in world-wide caper involving a master thief that looks just like Kermit. If that wasn't dastardly enough, the con-frog's second in command is none other than Ricky Gervais. Sounds like quite the sinister duo. Here's the official plot synopsis:

Disney's The Muppets... Again! takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe’s most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine—the World's Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit—and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Ricky Gervais, creator of "Derek" and the Golden Globe®- and Emmy®-winning series "The Office" and "Extras." The film stars Golden Globe-, Emmy- and SAG Award®-winning actress and writer Tina Fey ("30 Rock," Mean Girls, Date Night) as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Emmy Award winner Ty Burrell (TV’s "Modern Family") as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon.

Teaser Trailer: Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

Although this looks so much like the first teaser that they may have been filmed around the same time, it's hard to deny its hilarity. It's just the Channel 4 News Team walking forward and exchanging one liners once more. Th...

Teaser Trailer: Last Vegas

Review: Frances Ha

Woody Allen's Manhattan opens with that stunning overture of "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin. It's like a love letter to the city, the great colossus, a romanticized land of bustle and possibility. The film is a portrai...

This Is Spinal Tap soundtrack getting reissued on vinyl

This Is Spinal is one of the best movies of the 1980s and one my my favorite movies of all time. It's still the grandaddy of the mockumentary genre, and I don't think it'll be topped in terms of execution or sheer quality. Th...

Review: How Sweet It Is

One of my favorite comedies is Waiting for Guffman, the first of those Christopher Guest-directed ensemble mockumentaries. It plays well with the goofiness of amateur theater and really embraces the hokey vibe of stage musica...
