Person Hired To Direct Muppets Movie

Former Da Ali G Show writer and Flight of the Conchords co-creator James Bobin has signed on to direct Disney's new Muppets movie. The script was written by Nicholas Stoller and Jason Segel, the latter of whom Heat Vision claims is called a "Muppet freak," indicating that he either really loves Muppets or has awkward arm movements, protruding eyes, and a head that splits at the mouth.

For those thinking, "Alright, we've got a pretty talented writer who cares about the property, and a director with a track record for funniness... but what about Charles Grodin? Is Grodin in?" Fuck yeah Charles Grodin is in. You have nothing to worry about. Put on some tea and listen to wave sounds.
