50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2018 - Ranked

Who wouldn't want to see a mash-up of The Muppets, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and dark noirish crime movies? That's exactly what Brian Henson's follow-up to The Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island sounds like.

The film - set in a world where humans and puppets co-exist as in The Muppets - follows a puppet private eye (and disgraced former cop) who looks into the case of a serial killer. The human cast includes comedy talent as stellar as Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph, Elizabeth Banks and Joel McHale and it looks like it could be genius.

It's bound to be different - and dark - and that's absolutely not a bad thing.

Release Date: August 17th
