The Muppets has a new poster courtesy of Walt Disney Pictures. Directed byJames Bobin with a script by Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller, the November 23rd release stars Segel andAmy Adams as a couple from Smalltown, USA who discover that Chris Cooper's devious Tex Richman is planning to knock down the Muppet Theatre and drill for oil. Jack Black, Emily Blunt, Mila Kunis, Selena Gomez, Zach Galifianakis, Ricky Gervais and Katy Perry will also appear in The Muppets.
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. With secret, signature, celebrity cameos, “The Muppets” hits the big screen Nov. 23, 2011.
