Apart from the usual suspects (Kermit, Miss Piggy, etc), The Hollywood Insider reported that Amy Adams, Chris Cooper and Rashida Jones are in talks with Jason Segel (co-writer/star) to take part in the new (untitled) Muppets film. The movie follows the Muppets as they attempt to save a movie studio. To do so the gang needs to put on a show and reunite. Segel is supposed to help the group get back together, and if Adams joins she will play his girlfriend. If signed, Chris Cooper will play the villain, a tycoon who thinks there's oil located under the film studio. Jones will play a network executive.
Segel wrote the script with Nicholas Stoller (Get Him to the Greek) and Flight of the Conchords’ James Bobin is set to start directing it next month in LA.
