I am concerned that Jason Segel is not involved.

The movie has everyone involved from The Muppets 2011, except for Jason Segel and Amy Adams. The music will still be written by Brent Mckenzie (Flight of the Conchords), directed by James Bobin (Flight of the Conchords), and written by Nicholas Stoller (Every Jason Segel movie).

All of these people have greater to equal credit of making Muppet 2011 great. The musical style and directing was brought in by both Mckenzie and James Bobin. I can only hope that the other of Flight of the Conchords, Jemaine Clement can be involved in the musical process.

As for Stoller, he is a huge Muppet fan too but he has written many failures/successes in the comedy industry. Most recently was Five-Year Engagement, the mediocre but interesting romantic comedy from both Segel and Stoller and the popular onces were Get Him to the Greek, Yes Man, and Fun with Dick and Jane. He also directed Forgetting Sarah Marshall and some of the ones mentioned above.

Jason Segel may have been the poster boy for Muppet fandom, but it was a huge team effort and everyone should be acknowledged. Trust me, right now the Muppets are in good hands.

I really hope that the Muppets will return as a TV show soon though, but 30 Rock is pretty much the human equivalent.

If there's a scene where Waltz interrogates the Swedish Chef Inglorious Basterds-style,I'm in on this...

the only reason it did well was because of Jason Segel and Amy Adams

I'm alone on this but I thought that the recent Muppets film was terribly weak... the old characters' lacked the genuine heart or chaotic mirth that powered all of the past films (up to including Muppets From Space). Kermit was distinctly un-Kermit like and Gonzo was hardly in it! The new character Walter was the most Henson of the lot... although I did love the 'what happened when they went to recruit Rowlf' scene. : )

Bret's songs were good but I'd rather see the deadpan genius of FOTC singing them than the gurningly smug faces of Segel and Adams. Also what was with all the mid-80's nostalgic jokes, music and reference points (The Muppets was primarily a late 70's phenomenon-doo-doo-doodoo-doo). The whole thing just seemed like the indulgence of a cliquey bunch of Hollywood celebs.

Also Muppets 2 is a European comedy caper... so it's a remake of 1981's The Great Muppet Caper?
