All Aboard The Muppets...Again!
Cue Kermit's patented arm-flailing ''Yaaaaaay!'' Following their successful return to the pop culture limelight with 2011's The Muppets, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and the rest of the gang are heading back to the big screen. The Muppets...Again!, due March 21, 2014, finds the Muppet repertory company enjoying a triumphant world tour, only to become tangled up with a criminal mastermind named Constantine who is out to steal an enormous diamond — and who happens to be a dead ringer for Kermit. ''I always loved those classic jewel-heist capers from the '60s and '70s, so I was very keen to do a movie that had elements of that [genre] featuring the Muppets and comedy and songs,'' says returning director James Bobin, who co-wrote the script with Nicholas Stoller. Starring opposite the Muppets this time are Ricky Gervais (as Constantine's villainous sidekick), Tina Fey (as a Russian prison guard), and Ty Burrell (as an Interpol agent). ''People are either Muppety or not Muppety,'' Bobin says, and these actors ''are very Muppety.'' —Josh Rottenberg
