| Watch Now: The ‘Muppets’ Parody Trailer To End Them All
The latest (and final) parody trailer for The Muppets has been released and you can watch it here below. Much like a snake swallowing its own tail, this entire arm of the marketing campaign for the big screen comeback of Jim Henson’s classic creations has finally come full circle. In the rush to cram in quick spoofs of Paranormal Activity 3, Puss in Boots, Happy Feet 2, and the next Twilight movie (“Breaking Prawn”….get it?), the trailer department also decided to throw in a parody of the first Muppets parody trailer, the soon-to-be-legendary “Green with Envy” teaser, because…. why the hell not?

| Frank Oz Reveals Why He Turned Down ‘The Muppets’
When The Muppets hits theaters the day before Thanksgiving the movie will be missing one of the original “Muppeteers”: Frank Oz.

Since the marketing campaign for the first Muppets movie to hit theaters since 1996 kicked off back in May there have been several trailers released that either parodied various movies in released or awaiting release like Green Lantern and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (which opens a month after The Muppets) or put more emphasis on the movie’s human stars Jason Segel and Amy Adams.

| Strange First Teaser Trailer For ‘The Muppets’ Released Online
Over the weekend, many of you who ventured out to see Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides were treated to the very first teaser trailer for Disney’s new Muppet movie…fittingly titled The Muppets, of course. The thing about the teaser trailer is that it was made to try and surprise people. It’s presented as a fairly awful looking new romance movie starring Amy Adams and Jason Segel called Green With Envy, and this faux trailer goes on for a quite a while before they spring the trap on us and reveal what the movie actually is. You can see the sneaky trick trailer for The Muppets by clicking on over to the other side now. The movie hits theaters on November 23, 2011.
