Well it seems that their resurrection is imminent in the form of James Bobin's (Flight Of The Conchords) new Muppets movie and to prove it, here's the first official poster.
The focus of the story is Walter, the world's biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Segel) and Mary (Adams), Together, they discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (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.
I remember when every huge Hollywood star wanted to appear alongside Kermit and Co so it'll be interesting to see if there is still an audience for the little green frog and his buddies. The cast list is impressive, minus Katy Fucking Perry, so it looks like there's still love for Jim Henson's most beloved creation.
