MUPPETS fighting off Daniel Plainview?

Daniel Plainview being the character Daniel Day-Lewis portrayed in his second Academy Award winning performance last year. All will be revealed below, as CHUD explain to us what they heard from a press junket for Forgetting Sarah Marshall where duo Peter Segel (writer) and Nick Stoller (director) were inevitably asked about their intentions for The Muppets...

Apparently their Muppet film is going to be incredibly old fashioned, with the familiar Muppet characters putting on a show to save an old theater (the theater from The Muppet Show?). The danger? An evil character wants to tear the place down to get at the oil underneath.

Cool and no, Day-Lewis isn't really going to make an appearance in this flick. That would be fascinating though. I'm still hoping Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a knock-out from these guys but from what I hear from Michael (our most consistent reviewer) he didn't like this movie at all. I think he loathes the cinema of Judd Apatow though if that makes any difference? The duo seem like real fans of the Muppets which can't be said for some of the creative teams they have had working on these characters in the past. We should have a better opinion of this movie in a few weeks time when Marshall opens and we get to see just what the pair can do.
