Movie News: 20th Century Fox Will Tell Us How, How To Get To SESAME STREET...

Movie News

No doubt inspired by the (very much deserved) success of Disney’s THE MUPPETS last year, 20th Century Fox have drafted in REAL STEEL director Shawn Levy to oversee a new big-screen SESAME STREET flick.

On script duties is long-time Muppet writer Joel Mazzarino, who, along with contributing to the show itself, was previously responsible for the movies ELMO IN GROUCHLAND and the under-appreciated MUPPETS FFROM SPACE (contrary to popular opinion it is not the worst Muppet movie, that honour, IMHO, goes the criminally dull MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND).

STREET joins FRAGGLE ROCK, a THE MUPPETS 2, and puppet noir picture THE HAPPYTOWN MURDERS on the Jim Henson Pictures movie slate.

Hopefully this will be a slight improvement on the disappointing FOLLOW THAT BIRD back in ‘85…
