Roaring applause from Disney fans filled the Anaheim Convention Center Arena as the Muppets took the stage, performing a song and dance number live on-stage. At the conclusion of the performance, Disney Studios Chairman Dick Cook officially announced that the upcoming Muppet film (written by Jason Segel) will be titled The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made.
This title references an old title, developed Jim Henson in 1985 but never produced that would have featured Gonzo directing a Hollywood film and quickly blowing the project's budget. Though unconfirmed, it is likely that this new film will mirror the same storyline.

Maybe we'll see some characters from Marvel in this like The Beast or Deadpool. They would make great Muppets.

1). I'm pretty sure its just Beast, not The Beast.
2.)That's just absurd.

Maybe he'll throw in that Dracula musical from Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

So Jason Segel does have a thing for puppets! As in Sarah Marshall where he writes the Dracula musical with puppets!

@Rod: But the last few movies had low budgets and were aimed at kids (not the subtle adult humor of old). It seems to me that with the hiring of Jason Segal they're trying to revive the muppets. I hope it works.
