After countless, countless (well, four) spoof teasers, Disney has finally released a feature trailer for The Muppets, giving us a good glimpse of the film’s actual plot. In the flick, the Muppets are all washed up (inconceivable!), and a couple of super-fans (Jason Segel, Amy Adams, new puppet Walter) assist them in reaching the heights […]

We adored the spoof trailers for The Muppets that arrived online earlier in the year, which politely skewered romantic comedies, The Hangover Part II and Green Lantern respectively. Now comes a brand new spoofery, in which the energetic, elliptical teaser for David Fincher’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo gets the Muppet treatment. In the original Dragon teaser, […]

A batch of new images from The Muppets has debuted online, temporarily sating our maddening anticipation for the Jason Segel-scripted feature. The new pics were released by Disney (and helpfully collated by Slashfilm), along with some character descriptions for Segel’s character Gary, his brother Walter (the new Muppet seen between Kermit and Rowlf above), and […]

We’ve greatly enjoyed all the spooftastic teasers for The Muppets so far (which included good-natured ribbings of Green Lantern, The Hangover Part II and romcoms in general), but the time has come to see a proper trailer for Disney’s impending release. Although it doesn’t give us much of a look at the plot (which involves […]

The marketing department at Disney really don’t want to release a proper trailer for The Muppets, do they? That’s fine with us, so long as they keep the wonderful spoof teasers coming. After having a go at romantic comedies and The Hangover, the latest Muppets trailer gives Green Lantern a good-natured ribbing. Check it out and […]

They walk among us! Check out the (slightly weird) first official poster for The Muppets. There’s something peculiar about seeing Kermit, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Animal and Gonzo walking without any human assistance. Frankly, it’s unsettling. Also, that tagline just sounds … threatening. Still, nothing could knock it from its perch as our most anticipated […]
