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.
A brand new poster for Walt Disney’s upcoming Muppet movie, titled The Muppets, has been released online.
The movie is written by Forgetting Sarah Marshall team Jason Segel and Nick Stoller, and it’s directed by Flight of the Conchords and Da Ali G Show writer and director James Bobin.
The Muppets also has a plethora (would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?) of well-known actors set to appear in the movie, as is expected with any Muppet adventure. Stars either starring or doing voice work on the movie include Segel, Amy Adams, John Krasinski, Zach Galifianakis, Chris Cooper, Rashida Jones, and pretty much everyone else.

The other night, after Tom Cheredar and I finished recording TARDISblend 17, we were talking about some random Doctor Who stuff off-air. One of the things that came up in our ridiculous ramblings was, “What Doctor Who needs is some Muppets.”
It was just a mildly amusing joke at the time, but a couple days later we came across this unexplainable image posted over at the Hell Yeah Tumblr Page featuring the cast of Torchwood meeting the puppets from Avenue Q… with lightsabers! See the image here at right.
Quite simply? This is awesome. The next step is someone to Photoshop in the glow from the lightsabers.
The $9 t-shirt deal of the day over at Teefury today is the Battlestar Galactica-Muppets mashup “Frakking Awful” by artist Matt Dearden.
The sale at Teefury began at midnight EST (Wednesday, November 24, 2010) and will continue for 24 hours, and once it’s over, it’s gone forever.
The shirt is a mash-up of the heckling Muppets Statler and Waldorf as Commander William Adama and Colonel Saul Tigh of Battlestar Galactica. The Muppets are in their usual theater balcony box seats, but are wearing the BSG military uniforms. Waldorf is sporting an eye patch like the one Tigh wears after the first season of BSG.
The shirt comes in red and is available in both men’s and women’s sizes.
