Muppet Movie!

Article Taken From "Muppet Central" :

Disney has enlisted scribe-thesp Jason Segel and helmer Nick Stoller to create the next Muppet movie for the studio.

Segel and Stoller will write the script and Stoller will direct.

Segel, who graduated from Apatow-produced skeins "Freaks and Geeks" and "Undeclared" got his first sole writing credit on the Apatow-produced "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." Universal releases the pic, which Stoller directed, on April 18.

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.

Segel and Stoller just made another U deal to co-write the comedy "Five-Year Engagement," with Stoller helming and Segal starring.

Segel, from the CBS laffer "How I Met Your Mother," next stars in "I Love You, Man" at DreamWorks.

Iron Man Review

My Review of the latest Marvel superhero film, "Iron Man" :

"Iron Man" is the tale of how Tony Stark, a billionaire executive, became the legendary "Iron Man" The actor taking the enormous task? Robert Downey Jr. , star of the famed film, "Chaplin." He brings the character to life with bits of humor, but also an intimate raging battle with evil. He enlists the help of a scrap box of metal within a cave in the Middle East. He shares the cave with another man as well. Those two items help start the epic journey of "Iron Man." The film is an action-filled "family-friendly" feature. My rating:

*****
Five/Five Stars!
