Green With Envy

[DrRocketGenius]

Watch this video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CloKbXtD28) WATCH IT as many times as it takes to take it in. WATCH IT now before someone ruins it for you. Just WATCH IT.

Do not read the rest of the thread until you watch it.

[Alcoremortis]

I completely agree with the above sentiment. This will probably be my most looked-forward to movie of the year.

[divisionten]

Well, I will say... that was NOT what I was expecting from that trailer. I knew *that* movie was coming out this year, but not via that trailer.

Epic trolling, Disney, and well played.

[Gman5852]

Ok I expected a twist and... I did get that I guess.

[Silverwolfpet]

Yaaaaaaay!! :D And it is with 53 of my favorite actors :D

[Ribs]

Did anyone but me find this blatantly obvious? Maybe it's because I knew Jason Segel wasn't doing anything else, and that Amy Adams was in the movie... but really, it didn't surprise me at all.

[DrRocketGenius]

Jason Segel.
John Krasinski.
Ed Helms.
Zach Galifinakis.
Neil Patrick Harris.
Jack Black.
Rashida Jones.
Donald Glover.
Ricky Gervais.
Whoopi Goldberg.
Billy Crystal.

Get excited.

I was already excited. Now, I'm borderline ecstatic.

[Rather Dashing]

I actually didn't know anything about this movie going in other than that it was coming. With so many trailers being formulaic, your brain goes numb to the content of it because they're so homogeneous. They could have very easily

I honestly did not expect them to treat this property with anything even remotely approaching dignity and respect, but their latest projects(including that recent YouTube Channel) have really restored my faith with the people working on it right now. There was a point not THAT long ago where, if you told me about this project, I would have shrugged and said "eh, maybe" at best. I am now definitely looking forward to it though, making it the second most-anticipated upcoming puppet-related film.

[divisionten]

Th bigger question here is who ISN'T going to be in this movie.

[DrRocketGenius]

Lame actors. :D

[Ribs]

Actually, I'd say it's a safe bet 85% of them will just have the typical Muppet cameos, like Bob Hope and Steve Martin's wonderful bits in The Muppet Movie. 'What are you doing here?' 'A very brief cameo.' 'Me... too...'

Being the massive geek I am, I recently rewatched the Star Wars and Roger Moore episodes and they're still as amazing as when I watched them on VHS as a little person.

[doodo!]

I saw this in theaters, brilliant! It fooled me.

[Falanca]

I've also been Muppetroll'd. Didn't even know they were doing this movie, tbh, so it's a good surprise.

[GuruGuru214]

Oh, jeez. Well-played, Disney.

[ShaggE]

What a tweest! Good stuff.

[Comrade Pants]

Very clever. I fell for it. Very frakking clever.

[vehemt]

haha first I was like huh o_O and then I was like whoa :D.

[jeeno0142]

:D This is awesome! I'm definitely going to be seeing that one. Its about time the muppets did some more stuff on the big screen. I doubt it'll be as epic as Muppet Treasure Island or the Muppet Christmas Carol, but so far it's looking like it'll be a great watch none-the-less.

[SillyStell]

I had no idea about a new muppets movie so I was just watching the trailer thinking "Lord this looks really dum... Kermit!"
I just got trolled but in the best of ways :D

[Icedhope]

Ugh...Muppets...

[Ribs]

Ugh...Muppets...

Heretic!

[GuruGuru214]

Troll!

fix'd

[Icedhope]

Nah, I'm just kidding I was more giddy to this than anyone can imagine.

[Rather Dashing]

Anyone been to the Facebook page yet? They're really going all-out:

I'm not that into movies at the moment, so this was a complete surprise. Very, very funny twist and a much appreciated one. Gotta love those guys.

[Vainamoinen]

I'm pretty sure they're not doing themselves a favour. :D

I just want to see the faces of the people who go to the theater without having seen the trailer first.

Then just pop into any POTC screening. It's running before the movie, caught everyone in the theater by surprise. :p

I'm planning on seeing PotC anyway, so I probably will. Just one more reason to be excited for that movie!

Wait, wait, as far as I have understood, "Green with envy" is only a fake title and this movie will of course be properly named "The Muppets". No chance for people being surprised while actually watching the movie. ;)

Awww. They should keep the "Green with Envy" title and confuse people!

But, I guess I can understand from a marketing perspective that you'd want people to know what they're going to see so as to not alienate potential customers.

ARRRGGGGHHHHH I missed the commercials before Pirates of the Caribbean.

[Scnew]

Sure would be nice if the top rated comment didn't spoil the surprise...

[Molokov]

It didn't air before PotC:OST here in Australia. We got X-Men: First Class and Green Lantern trailers.

[Sausy Gibbon]

Ricky Gervais.
Whoopi Goldberg.

Get excited.

Only two that interest me. But looks good anyway and looks like Crazy Harry is in it. I never felt he got enough screentime in the movies.

[Secret Fawful]

Meh. I haven't seen any Muppets movies, so I guess I only care for the live-action stars. I adore Amy Adams, and the rest of the cast is brilliant.

Muppet's Christmas Carol is probably my favorite rendition of the Christmas Carol ever. Make that my favorite Christmas movie ever.

[Secret Fawful]

Oh. Okay. The only Muppets movie I've ever had any interest in is Muppet Treasure Island. The reason should be obvious. I might watch one...or two.

[Alcoremortis]

Muppet's Treasure Island is hilarious as well. You'd probably enjoy it.

[jeeno0142]

This suprises me. Isn't it you who loves Tim Curry? He's one of the leads in Muppet Treasure Island. Which happens to be my favourite Muppet film. :)

Edit: OK, missed a comment up there! But you should definitely watch it.

[puzzlebox]

Sooo... same boat as Fawful here, never seen a Muppet movie (well I did see "Meet the Feebles" a long long time ago, but I believe that's something else entirely). I'm willing to be educated though! How many Muppet movies are there, and which one should I start with?

EDIT: Never mind, I'll try "Muppet Treasure Island" 'cause I like the original story.

[Friar]

I've also been Muppetroll'd. Didn't even know they were doing this movie, tbh, so it's a good surprise.

No. This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KANI2dpXLw) is a muppetroll.

The best thing to do, I think, is to watch the original "The Muppet Movie". Aside from that, there are a lot of bad Muppet-based movies. Though I do enjoy Muppet Treasure Island and Muppet Christmas Carol, others feel they are the beginning of the end for the franchise. Pretty much everyone that loves The Muppets loves The Muppet Movie, though.

The Muppet Show is a better place to go after you've exhausted those three films, as it's that sketch comedy in which the Mupets first really showed their stuff and in which their personalities were first developed, as much as Muppets "develop", heh.

[LuigiHann]

Yeah, The Muppet Movie is definitely worth watching (for everyone), and I would recommend watching the Muppet Christmas Carol late in the year when you are in a Christmassy mood. Muppet Treasure Island is fun too but I generally wouldn't start with that one because you sort of need to familiarize yourself a bit with the "standard" Muppets before you can really appreciate the characters-in-character.

"The Great Muppet Caper" and "The Muppets Take Manhattan" I think are both decent movies, but I haven't seen either in a long time and I don't think they're really must-see stuff. "Muppets From Space" is pretty blaaah. I definitely wouldn't bother.

Holy crap. All that list is missing is Macho Man Randy Savage, which I guess is excusable since he's a bit unavailable right now.

[jp-30]

Never mind - already posted. LOL. Ninja'd by 2 days.

[Sausy Gibbon]

Hopefully Paul Williams will compose the music or writes a song for it.

[LuigiHann]

Hopefully Paul Williams will compose the music or writes a song for it.

The music is being written primarily by Bret McKenzie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_McKenzie), who is a pretty funny guy so it should be pretty interesting

[Sausy Gibbon]

Bret McKenzie's great! But Paul should at least have one song in there, I'd say he's still interested seeing he did A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa.

[skeeter]

Yah, I as I pressed play so kinda ruined the surprise... but the teaser was still cool!

Cool! Seeing Pirates next week, and want to see those two trailers...

I quite like the fork in the road...

[Leplaya]

As I saw the trailer I was like, "Oh great, not another stupid.." but then a big grin came on my face when I saw Kermit. Man. Its been so long since there was a muppet movie. This is going to be great. :D

Jason Segel and Amy Adams bug me.... so I am sad :( <--- see?

...wow.

[Leplaya]

Is kermit sad that he's being overshadowed?

[Rather Dashing]

Is kermit sad that he's being overshadowed?
Very unlikely.

Kermit's character was always pretty humble. He sees an ad opening for frogs wanting to be rich and famous, and comments that he's actually quite happy where he is in a swamp. The main consideration he has, then, is that he could make millions of people happy(even though he'd "really miss this swamp, but..."). If he was sad, blame Disney for messing with his characterization. ;)
