Talk:The Muppet Man

Unproduced script
There's some news this week about an unproduced script that was bought by the Jim Henson Company -- it's a (sort of) Jim Henson biopic called The Muppet Man. It made the news because it showed up as #1 on the Black List, an unofficial annual ranking of the top unproduced scripts.

The best article is from the LA Times: "Muppet Fur Flies Over Jim Henson Script". Basically, it looks like the film won't get made, and I suspect that Henson bought the script so they could kill it, and keep anyone else from producing it.

Here's some more articles:


 * "Weekes tops Black List honors", about the screenwriter


 * "2009 Black List: Most Liked Scripts in Hollywood", more info about the Black List.

Anyway -- I don't have time to write an article about it right now, but if anybody feels like it, then there's some good sources to get you started! Considering that the script was bought by the Henson Company, I think this would probably go into the Unfinished category. -- Danny (talk ) 19:23, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
