From Muppets from Space to 2010: A Muppet Odyssey? Not quite. That's just the tentative date set for the next Muppet movie.
But it should be quite a different Muppet movie regardless. Disney has hired the team behind Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Jason Segel (the writer and star) and Nicholas Stoller (the director), to deliver the script. (Segel spoke to Empire and revealed that he's planning to scatter the Muppets across the globe.)
"It's a classic story," he told Empire. "It's the Muppets needing to get back together to save the show...It's going to take place all over the world. Basically, the Muppets are no longer together. So that might take a while to film. I guess they've set the precedent in that last movie (Muppets From Space) that Gonzo is, in fact, an alien, so he could well end up in space. That guy's all over the place!"
Segel also revealed that he's written a cameo for a veteran of The Great Muppet Caper.
"I have a cameo for Charles Grodin in it. It's a really brilliant cameo, I must say. I'm really proud of it."
