What. The. Hell. Is. This?!?!?!?!??!!!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!???!
So we have a Muppet murder mystery movie. Which sounds awesome, right?
Well, in fairness, it certainly could be good but, well, it’s really, really adult! Sex, violence, Melissa McCarthy, all the stuff Muppet fans should find offensive.
So Muppets do Who framed Roger Rabbit, then?
And it’s a genuine Muppet movie, coming from Brian Henson, son of Jim Henson, and the man behind Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island and more.
We’re in shock. The trailer is below. Let us know what you think…

Marc
Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
