Today a very special gift was given to me in the form of a brand new international poster for a new film called THE MUPPETS. The film is one that I am very much looking forward to, but the gift came with mixed emotions. It’s a great little poster, but I was a little upset with the release date info that came with the thing. It appears that the film is not hitting UK cinemas until February 2012!!!! That’s nearly three months after the US release on November 23rd. Shocked.
On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Jason Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets’ former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.
The film opens in UK cinemas Feb 17, 2012. Gutted. Check out the poster in bigger form below.
