Couple of news pieces for Disney's The Muppets... Again! here. First up, in an interview with Huffington Post, recent Golden Globes co-host Tina Fey talks about her role as 'Nadya' (described as "a Russian gulag prison guard") in the anticipated Europe-set sequel, saying that she actually plays a "good guy" who may seem like a villain. She also touches on working with a Russian accent. "I actually play a Russian good guy, kind of. Who knows? Maybe she seems like the bad guy. But just before I called you I was on Skype with a dialect coach. And I was like, "Oh my gosh, this is for real. I have to try and do this!" ... they offered it, and I was like, "Yeah, great!" I think that's a fun thing to do and try to practice." For Fey's full interview with the site, click the link back to Huffington Post.

In other Muppets news, actor Peter Serafinowicz (best known for his roles in Shaun Of The Dead and Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace) took to his Twitter account yesterday to reveal that he has a role in the sequel, and will begin filming next week. He doesn't say whether or not he'll be among the many promised celebrity cameos (which may include Django Unchained's Christoph Waltz) or if his role will be larger, however. Stay tuned to CBM for more news as we have it.




The Muppets... Again! stars Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey, Ty Burrell and Ray Liotta. The film is set to hit theaters March 21st, 2014.

Hehe..Sometimes, when someone that I'm tryin' to avoid is calling , instead of just lettin' it ring and ring I pick up the phone and start talkin' in a Russian accent. Confuses the [frick] out of 'em..

Hehehe..

;P

No, Serainowicz did the (rather brief) voice work. Park did the stunrs, etc.

I love Peter so much. My favourite comedian ever. If anyone likes comedy, check out The Peter Serafinowicz show. Best sketch show I've ever seen.

At last, he will have his revenge!

You guys DO realise you spelled his name incorrectly in the article when the correct way to spell it is clearly written in the Twitter post??!

Knowing the Muppets, they might actually call her "The Russian Villain."

Did Ray Park voice Darth Maul? HAHAHAHAHA No, he sounds like a pipsqueak. If you've ever heard David Beckham talk, raise it an octave. It's also another reason why he's a perfect Snake-Eyes...a silent role.

"Serafinowicz, best known for voicing Darth Maul..."

I disagree. I'd suggest that for people who know how Peter Serafinowicz is, that's probably the LAST thing they know him for. His sketch show, for generally being a comedian, Spaced, Shaun of the Dead and then MAYBE voicing Darth Maul. You just copied that off Wiki.

It says he's "best known for voicing darth maul". Honestly, that's kinda sad if he's best known for having one line in a terrible movie. Lol.
